Inspection of 26 January 2026 — Inspection Report
Regulation 16 — Record in relation to pre-school service
- (h) The registered provider did not ensure children’s attendance had been recorded on day 1 of inspection. The attendance record for the day was blank when reviewed by the inspector at 12:25pm
Provider's corrective action:
- Corrective Action The registered provider has adapted the morning routine to include taking each child’s attendance on arrival and logging the exact time on the attendance register. This change had been implemented on 10 February 2026, the day after the first inspection. The time of departure for each child is recorded at home time. Preventive Action The registered provider communicated to parents that the time would be double checked with them on arrival as their child’s attendance is recorded. The registered provider shared a new policy with parents via email. The policy includes the registered providers commitment to review the practice and procedure on a monthly basis
Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child
- General Safety: 1. One grape was observed not to be sliced in half for one child on day 2 of the inspection. This posed a choking hazard for the child. It is acknowledged that the registered provider cut the grape when brought to their attention by the inspector. Infection Control: 2. Although a fridge was on the premises, the children’s packed lunches supplied from home were not refrigerated on arrival to the service on day 2.
