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

- General Safety: 1. In the outdoor area a gap in the astro turf surface was causing it to lift posing a potential tripping hazard. 2. In the outdoor area a pipe coming from a wall over the kitchen area was leaking onto the play area used by children posing a potential risk a child may slip. Infection Control: 3. In the Nest room children’s hands were not washed prior to eating their lunch posing a potential infection control risk. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

- General Safety: 1. The raised astro turf surface was repaired immediately. The mechanism underneath was re-adjusted and the surface is once again flush with the ground to eliminate the tripping hazard. Management have included this area to the garden daily risk assessment. 2. The air conditioning drainage pipe was extended along the wall so water no longer leaks into the children’s play area. This directs water away from the playground from the air conditioning unit required for the kitchen. All external drainage and pipework will be reviewed quarterly by the maintenance contractor. Any issues identified will be logged and repaired. Staff have been instructed to cordon off any affected areas temporarily if further leaks occur before repairs. Infection Control: 3.Staff were immediately reminded of the requirement to wash children’s hands prior to meals being served. Refresher training on infection control procedures will be carried out in the staff meeting on 16th September 2025

Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 19, 25, 26.
