In the designated quiet area, in the preschool room there were three couches with evidence of being frayed and torn, thereby preventing effective cleaning. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

- On 19th of January 2024 the manager submitted a written response to state: General Safety: 1. The plumber was contacted immediately. He was due to arrive after the Christmas break to replace the sealing around the joint and has been delayed. The toilet is not in use at the moment as there is no children being toilet trained in that room. A small slow leak only occurs in toilet after sitting on the toilet and flushing. The toilet is not in use to avoid any further leaks until replacement. 2. At present the toddlers playground is not in use due to the icy weather as it has become very slippery and hazardous to the children. For now, coarse and will be placed within the cracks of the ground to fill in the crack and level the gap until further works take place. This will be correctly filled and sealed when the weather is suitable and warmer so that the ground can be correctly heat bonded. A risk assessment is carried out in the outdoor area and immediate action to be taken when required Infection Control: 3. The couches were covered with strong waterproof fabric material patches.
