No non-compliance recorded in this report.

Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 19, 23, 25, 26, 27.

Infection Control: The bin was not accessible to the staff when changing nappies in the Pre-school 1 sanitary facilities. The changing table, when folded down for use overlapped with the sink. This left no space for the staff to pass between to access the bin which was at the other end of the changing table. A staff member was observed hanging a bag with a used nappy on the door handle until the changing table was folded back up to allow access to the bin. This practice posed a risk of cross contamination and infection to the children. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

Provider's corrective action:

Infection Control: Following the inspection findings, staff were immediately informed of the correct procedure for nappy changing in the Pre-school 1 sanitary facilities. Staff have been instructed that, prior to commencing any nappy change in this room, the nappy disposal bin must be positioned in an accessible location beside the changing table, to ensure safe and hygienic disposal of soiled nappies during the procedure. All staff have been retrained on the nappy changing policy to reinforce correct procedures and reduce the risk of cross-contamination. Staff have signed the training record to confirm their attendance and understanding of this policy. Management will continue to monitor compliance with this procedure through regular supervision and spot checks to ensure that safe practice is consistently followed

Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 19, 25, 26, 27.
