Inspection of 26 March 2026 — Inspection Report
Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child
- General Safety: Garda vetting was available for one staff member. However, this vetting disclosure was not dated within the previous three years in adherence with the regulatory notice ‘EYI-RN12.3 Renewal of Garda Vetting’. Action submitted by the Registered Provider
Provider's corrective action:
- General Safety: We have reapplied for the vetting. Both management and the staff member have been in touch with the organisation who manages Garda vetting for early years services. There appeared to be a technical issue on their end, and they have advised sending another application once the site is operational. Renewal reminders have been added to yearly admin checklist

Staff files to be reviewed each year to ensure certificates are refreshed before the expiry date. Renewal reminders have been added to the yearly administration checklist
