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

- General Safety: 1. On the day of inspection when sampling children’s records, two of the twelve records reviewed in the sampling of regulation 15 did not contain information in relation to the child’s medial practitioner. This poses a risk to the health and safety of a child in the event of a medical emergency. Infection Control: 2. On return indoors from outdoor play at 10:15, children’s hands were not washed, and they were observed to proceed straight to play. This practice was also observed at 11:45 on return indoors for lunch. It is acknowledged that children’s hands were washed before snack at 10:30 and hand sanitiser provided to children prior to lunch but this practice posed a risk of infection and cross contamination for the children and is not in line with the services policy on infection control. Administration of Medication: Procedures and practices in place for children attending the service requiring medication were at variance with the service policy, posing a potential risk to the health and safety of children. 3. There was no documented care plan in place for one child who requires emergency medication, contrary to the services Emergency Medication policy. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

- General Safety: In correcting this non-compliance from the day of inspection, the registered provider has now ensured that this information is included on the children’s record cards. To prevent this from re-occurring in the future, the registered provider will ensure that all registration forms are fully completed prior to the children commencing their place in the service. Infection Control: The registered provider will now ensure that children always wash hands on return from outdoor play. To prevent this non-compliance from re-occurring in the future the registered provider will ensure that the infection control policy in relation to handwashing is followed at all times. Administration of Medication: The registered provider now has a care plan in place for a child requiring emergency medication. In the future, all children’s registration forms will be checked and where a diagnosis is disclosed whereby a child required emergency medication, a care plan will be put in place prior to the child’s start date

##### Regulation 25 — First aid

- While it is acknowledged that the staff employed by the service have current paediatric first aid training, the current certification of one staff member trained in First Aid Responder (FAR) expired in July 2024. Due to the number of children who attend the service and to ensure that first aid is available for children at all times, the registered provider is required to ensure a that a staff member with FAR is available at all times to the children

- The registered provider has now enrolled to undertake FAR training over the summer. To ensure that there is a FAR trained person at all times, a second adult will undertake FAR training in 2026 with this training being refreshed every alternate year

Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 15, 16, 19, 26, 28.
