##### Regulation 9 — Management and recruitment

- (4) Evidence was unavailable to demonstrate that the award held by one of the adults met the minimum requirement of a level 5 award in Early Childhood Care and Education, as listed on the National Framework of Qualifications

- The written reply outlined that the staff member’s qualification has been recognised by the DCEDIY. All qualifications have now been verified for all staff members. Any new staff qualifications will be fully verified, before staff commence working at the service

##### Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child

- Infection control: 1. Following an observed nappy change, the adult did not ensure that the child’s hands were washed, which increased the risk of cross infection. This was also at variance with the nappy changing procedure displayed in the changing area, which directed staff to wash the child’s hands following the nappy change. Safe sleep: 2. In the Baby/Toddler room, sampled sleep logs from the day of the inspection and the day prior to the inspection, indicated that checks of sleeping children were not consistently conducted at 10-minute intervals, as required for safe sleep practice. For example: • On 12 March, the checks undertaken on a child indicated one interval of 28 minutes and a second of 46 minutes. • On 11 March, the records in respect of one child indicated sleep checks at intervals of up to 55 minutes and up to 51 minutes for a second child. During discussion, staff stated that regular physical checks were undertaken but had not been reflected on the digital application. However, this contravened the service’s safe sleep policy, which outlined the requirement for sleep logs to be recorded every 10 minutes. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

- Infection control: 1. The written response stated that the nappy changing policy and procedure has been redistributed to all staff. Management have also gone through this policy with staff members and have reminded them of the importance of following policies and procedures and infection control practices. All staff are now following the procedures, as described in the policy. Monthly checks will be carried out by management, to ensure that this policy is being followed. Safe sleep: 2. The sleep policy has been issued to all staff and management have gone through this policy with the staff. While the checks are being physically done every 10 minutes, staff have been reminded that they also need to be logged on the digital application, once physically completed. Management will carry out monthly checks to ensure this policy is followed

Found compliant: Regulation 11, 19, 25, 29.
