##### Regulation 16 — Record in relation to pre-school service

- (1) The registered provider did not ensure the following: (g) There was no Inclusion policy available, which is required under Regulation 10, detailed in Schedule 5. (k) From a sample of 12 records reviewed, a full record in writing for accidents and incidents was not consistently maintained, for example: o Two records did not have a parent’s signature. o Two records did not have details of the staff member completing the form. o One record was not dated

- Corrective Action (1)(g) The service inclusion policy wasn’t on the premises at the time of the inspection as it was being reviewed as part of the Quality Improvements processes. (k) Staff were re-trained in the completion and maintenance of accident / incident reports and the importance of completing them correctly and having parents signing them was highlighted. This is now being done through the service management system using a software package. Preventive Action (1)(g) Staff and Managers have been informed that Copies of the Policy Documents cannot be removed from the premises/facility. If people need a copy for work outside the premises a request should be sent by email and a copy of the document will be sent. (1)(k) All future accidents/incidents will be recorded on a digital form in the software application. This form will be sent automatically (by email) to the parents for signature and to the registered provider for counter signature. Once the report in entered on the software, all parties involved need to counter sign before the report can be closed on the system

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

- The following posed a potential risk of injury: General Safety: 1. The storage shed was unlocked and hazardous equipment such as an open tub of pitch-marking paint, metal spikes and rope was accessible to children. This posed a significant risk of injury. An immediate action notice was issue to the registered provider on the day of the inspection in relation to this risk. A response which addressed this risk was received to the inspectorate on the 2 October 2024. 2. The kitchenette area in the care room was accessible to children, and cleaning agents which were stored in an open press in this area were within reach of children. It is acknowledged that this was addressed on inspection as a bin that was preventing the gate to this area from closing was removed and replaced with a smaller bin thereby allowing the gate to close and making the kitchen inaccessible. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

- General Safety: Corrective Action 1. A lock was purchased with immediate effect and is now in use. 2. The cleaning agents were removed from the area in the kitchenette and are now stored in a cupboard, not accessible to children. A smaller bin is now in the kitchenette area which no longer blocks the gate from closing. Preventive Action 1. The shed lock will remain permanently in place and will be checked regularly as part of the service daily risk assessments. 2. The new storage area for cleaning agents will continue to be used. The new, smaller, bin will remain in place

##### Regulation 27 — Supervision

- A number of children were observed to play unsupervised in the outdoor play area while staff remained indoors between the period the inspector arrived at the service at 9.25am until 10.06am. It is acknowledged that there are windows allowing visual supervision of the outdoor play area however there was a blind spot in the outdoor play area where staff in the care room had no visual supervision of the children. The impact of this resulted in a risk to the safety of children in the outdoor play area which is detailed under Regulation 23 Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of the child

- Corrective Action Staff were informed that all children must be supervised when in the outdoor play area. The service has purchased child safe protective barriers to close off the area that has no “Line of sight” from the Pre-school room. Preventive Action The new barriers will be set up on a daily basis and stored every evening

Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 21, 25, 26.
