##### Regulation 8 — Notification of change in circumstances

- It is acknowledged that a past employer reference was available in respect of one adult, however, this reference had not been validated by the registered provider prior to the adult commencing in the service. The adult commenced employment on 01 April 2024 and documentary evidence demonstrated that the reference had been validated on 11 April 2024

- An email has been sent between the management team regarding the issue and has been agreed that in future before any staff member commences employment management will also double check to ensure everything is in order. It has been agreed that all paperwork relating to new employees will be checked and re-checked again by management to ensure nothing has been missed. No employee is permitted to start employment until all the boxes in the induction checklist have been ticked

##### Regulation 24 — Checking in and out and record of attendance

- Details of the attendance of each child in the ECCE 3 room were not recorded at the time of entering the service. One child who was present in the ECCE 3 room at 10:16 was not signed in on the attendance record. Staff stated that this child had been in the service since 08:50. This posed a risk to the safe evacuation of children in the event of a fire. This non-compliance was present on the last two inspections on 27 February 2024 and 20 February 2023. The corrective and preventive actions as stated by the registered provider did not prevent recurrence of this non- compliance

- All staff have been issued with an email regarding the seriousness of this and have been sent the policies for them to read over again. Signs have been put up in the rooms now to remind people to have attendance recorded promptly. Management will be checking this more regularly and any staff found not to have this completed may be subject to a disciplinary action

##### Regulation 26 — Fire safety measures

- The procedures to be followed during a fire drill and in the event of a fire were not displayed in a conspicuous location within the service posing a risk to the timely evacuation of the service in the event of a fire

- Fire safety procedures have been put back on the walls. Signs have been put up to remind staff that these signs need to be there at all times

Found compliant: Regulation 11, 16, 19, 20, 23, 25, 27, 29.
