(b) Secure access to the premises was not provided. The gate entrance at the carpark had a handle located above the height of a child but was unlocked. To ensure the safety of all children and staff on the premises, a system must be in place at the entrance to the premises to prevent any unauthorised access to or exit from this area of the service

Provider's corrective action:

: The registered provider stated that: All entrances to the building have been secured. As a result, no visitor or external party can access the premises without a staff member letting them in. Additionally, all external gates are kept locked when not in use (i.e. when the service is closed) to further ensure the safety and security of the service. The entire premises are alarmed when the service is closed. The alarm is triggered as soon as anyone approaches the gates to access the premises

(1) The registered provider has not informed the Early Years Inspectorate that the person in charge in the service on the day of the inspection differs from the named person on the registrar of services

Provider's corrective action:

: The registered provider has stated that: Following the inspection a Change of Circumstances (CIC)was completed and submitted to the Early Years Inspectorate on the 12th of February, reflecting the necessary update with the name of the person in charge at the time of the inspection. This submission has since been approved. The service will ensure that any changes to the person in charge are promptly communicated to the Early Years Inspectorate to ensure the records are always up to date
