Full report (PDF, Tusla)

##### Regulation 10 — Policies, procedures etc. of pre-school service

- 1. The service provides all the meals and drinks for the children during their day. Following a review of the Healthy Eating policy, the policy did not contain the core components of what healthy eating should be. A robust and comprehensive Healthy Eating policy is essential to meet the nutritional needs of the children, while attending the service

- 1. Our policy regarding healthy eating has been updated to reflect the changes in practice. The policy will be reviewed annually to ensure it reflects practice and continues to be in line with healthy eating guidelines

##### Regulation 16 — Record in relation to pre-school service

- (k) Following a review of the Accident and Injury records of the service, details of a serious injury to a child in the service had not been documented correctly

- (k) The assistant manager was mistaken in their understanding that the manger had to be the person to sign the accident reports. They are now aware that they can also sign these reports. Accident reports will be signed by whoever is acting as PIC on any given day where a report needs to be completed

##### Regulation 19 — Health, welfare and development of child

- On the day of inspection, the inspectors observed the care needs of a child not being met by the adults in the service. The child was displaying visible signs of hunger and these ques were not being observed or acted upon by the adults present. The inspectors asked the manager to give more food to the child, they did so, and the child’s behaviour improved dramatically. This happened, despite the adults having recorded in a journal that on several occasions, that the child has arrived, in the morning to the service hungry and with additional care needs. No care plan had been put into place to meet the specific needs of the child. Service providers have a duty of care, where possible, to meet the individual needs of the children in their care

- Attached is an account to provide context regarding this child. The child no longer attends the service as of 28/06/2025

##### Regulation 22 — Food and drink

- On the day of inspection, the children in the service were given fish fingers, potato waffles and baked beans for their lunch. All food is provided by the pre-school for the children who attend the service. This meal was not in keeping with the Healthy Eating Policy of the service, which stated that they do not offer processed food to the children and do offer milk to the children at every meal. Children were not offered milk to drink, until the inspectors requested the service to do so

- This policy has been updated to reflect the day-to-day practice of the service. Policy will be reviewed annually to reflect any changes in practice over time

##### Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child

- General Safety: 1. On the day of inspection, following a review of the outdoor kitchen area, ten steel pots and frying pans of a type used in a household kitchen were found. The pots and frying pans had a mixture of reinforced steel bottoms and/or so sharp stainless-steel rims that could cause serious injury to a child or an adult. When this was brought to the attention of the manager, they were removed immediately. 2. The wooden radiator cover in the pre-school room was broken and could pose an injury risk to a child. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

- General Safety: 1&2 The pots were removed on day by the assistant manager. The radiator cover was fixed later that day Any other maintained issues are notified on a weekly basis and are fixed as soon as possible once identified

##### Regulation 27 — Supervision

- During the morning snack time, despite there being three adults present with the children having their food, the adults failed to intervene and stop a child from repeatedly wandering around the table trying to eat the other children’s snack

- Children are not permitted to take each other’s snacks or wander around while eating, with the exception of this child as per his care plan. The child no longer attends the service as of 28/06/2025. The children are not permitted to wander around during snack times or take each other’s snack

##### Regulation 31 — Notification of incidents

- (d) The registered provider failed to notify the Agency within three working days, in writing of an incident where a child had to receive medical treatment following a serious injury sustained while attending the pre-school
