Inspection of 1 April 2025 — Inspection Report
Regulation 9 — Management and recruitment
- (a) (b) - There were no references available for one adult employed to work in the service. - There was no second reference available for one adult. The reference that was available had not been appropriately validated
Provider's corrective action:
- The missing references were asked to be sent by the member of staff, and they were both checked, signed, dated and added to their files. The service created a checklist that contains all the documents needed for each of the staff members. The manager will tick the box when received and the person in charge of checking it will write the date of the check and their signature. This way the service will make sure all the documents are ready before the starting date. The checklist will be kept on the first page of staff files to facilitate checks in the future
Regulation 15 — Record of pre-school child
- (b) Six of the records reviewed did not contain details of the date on which the child first attended the service
Provider's corrective action:
- The service completed the starting date for all the kids that were missing it. To do so, the service checked the starting date on three platforms: online application, attendance record book and pre-registration form to make sure there is no mistake. In future, the service will make sure that dates are mentioned straight away when the service add the name on the attendance register. A checklist was created to make sure all the information is filled in by the parents. The person in charge will go through the files once the parents bring them back and will make sure that all the information is filled. If there is some information missing, they will write the information missing on the checklist and get it corrected asap
Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child
- General Safety: Two uncovered radiators were located at ground level in the large care room and were accessible to the children. The surface temperature of the radiators was recorded to be 60°Celsius posing a risk of a burn injury to a child. Action submitted by the Registered Provider
Provider's corrective action:
- General Safety: The service programmed the boiler so that the radiators don’t go over 45ºC. A member of staff will check the temperature of the radiators in the morning before the session starts checking the temperature said on the boiler and using a thermometer to ensure they have a safe temperature
