Garda vetting was available for five staff members; however, one vetting disclosure was not dated within the previous three years in adherence to the Early Years Inspectorate Regulatory Notice ‘EYI-RN12.3 Renewal of Garda Vetting’. 2. The three toilet seats in the sanitary areas were loose, this posed a safety risk of a child falling off them.
