##### Regulation 29 — Premises

- (d) 1. In the outdoor area the concrete yard surface was poorly maintained. It was slippery and unsafe for the children and staff to use due to moss, ice and its uneven surface. 2. The carpet in the main playroom was lifting near kitchen area posing a tripping hazard and it appears to be difficult to maintain as its old and worn

- Corrective Action (d) 1.The yard has been power washed since inspection. The service plans to have the yard resurfaced and was given a start date for the work to commence on the 8th of January but that is subject to how busy the construction company is. 2.The carpet issue has been bought to the attention of the community council as the service are renting the building. The community council will host a meeting the end of January 2024 and will have the issue of the carpet on their agenda. The issue will hopefully be resolved by the end of February 2024
