Inspection of 19 February 2026 — Inspection Report
Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child
- General Safety: On the day of inspection in the Toddler 1 at 13:10 hrs, a child was found holding a small, hard plastic dinosaur toy. Eleven such small toys were found in a play box in Toddler 1, which were accessible to all the children in the room. The toy was small with sharp edges and posed a serious choking and injury risk to a child in the age range present in the service room. This was brought to the attention of the manager who immediately took charge of removing any similar toys in the room. All toys must be age appropriate, suitable and safe for the children who are playing with them. Infection Control: On the day of inspection, failure to clean tables before serving lunch was observed in two pre-school rooms, Pre- school room 2 and Pre-school room 5. The cleaning of tables before the serving of food, in addition to other hygiene practices, are essential for the prevention of cross infection. Action submitted by the Registered Provider
