Full report (PDF, Tusla)

##### Regulation 9 — Management and recruitment

- Written validated references were not available in respect of the two staff members

- I have received and validated references for the two people involved and will make sure there are validated references on file for all staff members

##### Regulation 16 — Record in relation to pre-school service

- There were no Curriculum Vitaes available for three staff members on the day of inspection

- I have gotten three written c.v.’s for the people involved. I will make sure there is a c.v. in all staff files

##### Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child

- Infection Control: 1. The pre-school service does provide nappy changing facilities should a child require it, but they have no nappy changing procedure for the service. A robust nappy changing procedure is essential for effective infection control within a service. 2. The toilet seat in the disabled toilet facility was broken and the children using the toilet had to hold directly on to the toilet bowl. This is inadequate for infection control purposes. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

- Infection Control: 1. I have done a nappy changing policy I will review this policy every year. 2. I have replaced the broken toilet seat. If this happens again the toilet seat will be replaced immediately

Found compliant: Regulation 11, 15, 19, 24, 25, 26.
