Inspection of 14 October 2025 — Inspection Report
Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child
- General Safety: The service did not demonstrate compliance with the Early Years Inspectorate Regulatory Notice requiring services to renew Garda vetting every three years. Following a review of staff members employment in the service one staff member required updated vetting disclosures
Provider's corrective action:
- Corrective & Preventive Action General Safety: The registered provider stated that an administrative delay had occurred, and the Garda Vetting disclosure was received shortly after the inspection. The registered provider will ensure that more time is given to apply for updated disclosures
Regulation 27 — Supervision
- The registered provider did not ensure that children were appropriately supervised during sleep time in the sleep room located off the Playschool Room. The children who slept in this room were aged over 2 years old and slept on stackable beds. The inspector observed and a staff member confirmed that when children went to sleep the staff used a monitor for observation purposes and carried out 10-minute checks
Provider's corrective action:
- The registered provider stated that staff are now present inside the sleep room at all times while children are resting and that although the room is fitted with vision panels that provide continuous visual contact, acknowledge that the previous approach, relying on documented 10-minute physical checks, a camera monitor with sound, and staff positioned one to two metres from the sleep area, did not meet the standard required. All staff were briefed on this change, and supervision logs and related documentation have been updated accordingly with regular training planned
Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 15, 19, 25, 26, 28.
