Inspection of 29 October 2024 — Inspection Report
Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child
- Infection Control: 1. In the Caterpillar and Butterfly nappy changing areas, a microfibre cloth was observed to be used to wipe down the nappy changing mat after each use. The staff advised it is changed after each set of nappy changing times. This is a risk of cross contamination and infection. Safe Sleep: 2. In the Butterfly room a sleep log was maintained digitally. The staff advised the inspector that each child is checked every 10 minutes stating they check the sleeping child’s colour, breathing and position along with the room temperature. The digital records available on the day of inspection did not demonstrate a consistent 10-minute check on each sleeping child. This practise is not in line with the services safe sleep policy. Action submitted by the Registered Provider
Provider's corrective action:
- Infection Control: 1. Disposable cloths are now used in the changing area. Staff have been advised to use only disposable cloths for washing down the changing mat. A new disposable cloth must be used for each new nappy change. Safe Sleep: 2. Staff ensure that after each sleep check they document all details immediately on the app. The room leader ensures this occurs and the manager checks this is being carried out correctly. The staff have been shown again how to correctly document sleep check times on the app, should this become an issue in the future we will revert back to paper documentation of sleep checks which will ensure all information is documented in accurately
Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 19, 20, 22, 25, 26, 28.
