Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child

• General Safety: The nappy changing unit had built in pull-out steps. However, these steps were unable to be opened fully due to the wooden encasement for water pipes. Therefore, as the pull-out steps could not be fully opened children could not safely mount the steps of the nappy changing unit for nappy changing. Infection Control: The hot water tap at the wash hand basin in the nappy changing room was leaking and broken and was proving difficult to turn off and on. General Safety: Corrective Action The registered provider stated in the response on the 16 May 2023 that the builder redirected the wastepipe in order for the steps of the nappy changing unit to extend fully down and thereby allowing children to safely mount these steps for nappy changing. Infection Control: Corrective Action The registered provider stated in the response on 8 May 2023 that tap was repaired and washers replaced. The tap no longer drips and is now easier to turn on and off. Evidence Submitted On 18 May 2023 the registered provider submitted photographic and video evidence demonstrating the corrective actions for the plumbing issue and the problems with the nappy changing table. Summary Comment The requirements for the Child Care Act 1991 (Early Years Services) Regulations 2016 had been met
