General Safety: 1. Garda vetting was available for seven staff members; however, this vetting disclosure was not dated within the previous three years in adherence to the Early Years Inspectorate Regulatory No�ce ‘EYI -RN12.3 Renewal of Garda Ve�ng’. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

Provider's corrective action:

General Safety: 1. Following the inspection we immediately applied for the garda vetting renewals that were not dated within the past three years. We have submitted renewal dates on our Outlook Calendar, this will issue us with a reminder 6 months in advance of a renewal. This timeframe provides us with ample time to apply & renew in advance of the three-year period

(b) The service did not demonstrate safe and appropriate storage space for play equipment when it not in use as evidenced by the following observations: • Stacked children’s wooden chairs, play equipment, children’s outdoor clothing and children’s art work were stored in the sanitary areas attached to Wobbler, Butterfly and ECCE 3 rooms. • Two hoovers were placed on the landing on the first floor in front of the two fire extinguishers. • Two highchairs and two containers for messy play were stored on the corridor on the ground floor. • Play equipment and furniture were stored in the stairwell on the ground floor

Provider's corrective action:

(b) All equipment was immediately removed from the lobby areas and sanitary areas and a new storage location for these items was assigned. The hoovers were moved to a new location on the ground floor, clearing the space in front of the two fire extinguishers. The highchairs were removed permanently as they were placed in the hall to be placed in storage as they were no longer needed. We now cater for 2years upwards, and highchairs are not currently required as the children that attend can independently use our small age-appropriate chairs. The play equipment that was stored in the stairwell was new equipment that was delivered to equip a new class, this was removed immediately and has since been placed in the new class and is in use. We have added the highlighted areas on our risk assessment forms to ensure that these areas are always kept clear of equipment. Regular visual checks by management team to ensure areas are kept clear

Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 16, 25.
