The following safety concerns, in relation to a section of the wooden fence that enclosed the play area to the rear of the service, were observed, • A section of the fence was unstable and loose when handled • A horizontal wooden beam was loose and partly detached from the fence adjacent to one of the fire escape routes • A supporting beam was observed to have rotted at its base leaving exposed jagged edges and potentially further destabilising the structure These safety issues had the potential to cause an injury to a child should the structure collapse when children were playing in the area and/or from a scrape/splinter injury. 2. The wooden slats on the seating area in the outdoor play area were observed to have deteriorated in parts with some of the slats missing, some had exposed jagged edges and an exposed metal nail was also observed; this had the potential to cause an injury to a child from entrapment and/or a scrape/splinter injury. It is acknowledged this area was cordoned off with play equipment to prevent children accessing this play space. Fire Safety: 3. One of the two wooden gates, located at either end of the wooden fence, was observed tied with rope to provide stability and anchor the gate in place and therefore unusable as a fire exit route; it is acknowledged there was a second gate that functioned as the fire exit route from the area. Action submitted by the Registered Provider - General Safety: 1. A builder has been engaged to remove all the old broken perimeter fence as well as supporting beams that were detached from the fence adjacent to one of the fire exits. New perimeter fencing and 2 fire exit gates have been purchased and will be erected by 31/07/2025. Until the new gate is installed the wooden gate is tied securely and the other functioning gate will be used as a fire exit route. Once the new perimeter fencing/gates are in place regular checks and maintenance will be carried out to ensure all is fit for purpose. 2. A builder has been engaged to remove the wooden slats on the seating area in the outdoor play area. This will be completed by 31/07/25.
