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

- Infection Control: 1. Some staff members were vague in their knowledge of appropriate procedures in relation to the management of soothers and mouthed toys to reduce the risk of infection and cross contamination. One staff member stated that boiling water was poured over soothers and another member of staff stated that they used sterilising fluid but did not describe appropriate dilution and use of the sterilising fluid to affectively sterilise soothers. An appropriate means of sterilising soothers was not observed in the service nor was there a policy available for the management of soothers and mouthed toys, to guide appropriate practice. It is acknowledged that the service submitted evidence that a microwave soother steriliser had been purchased for the service on 12/04/2024. Action submitted by the Registered Provider The registered provider stated the following corrective actions and preventive actions have been carried out: Corrective Action 1. A staff meeting was held on 15/04/2024 and all staff have been informed about the importance of managing soothers and mouthed toys to reduce infection and cross contamination. This has also been included in the service’s policy. Preventive Action 1. A new portable microwave steriliser was purchased on 12/04/2024. Supporting documentation submitted • A photograph of a new portable microwave steriliser provided in the service. • Copies of the service’s updated mouthed toy policy and soother policy. Summary Comment The inspectors reviewed the corrective and preventive actions and evidence submitted by the registered provider following the inspection. The non-compliance observed under Regulation 23 has been adequately addressed

##### Regulation 25 — First aid

- (1) Based on a review of staff first aid qualifications and the staff roster, it was evident that a person who had undertaken first aid response (FAR) training was not available to the children attending the service at all times. Although 2 staff members held in-date FAR training, the staff roster indicated that from 2.15 – 6.00pm on 09/04/2024 and 12/04/2024, from 5.15 – 6.00pm on 08/04/2024, 10/04/2024 and 11/04/2024 and from 8.00 – 8.15am each morning from 08/04/2024 to 12/04/2024, none of the rostered staff members held FAR training

- The registered provider stated the following corrective actions and preventive actions have been carried out: Corrective Action (1) The management team are currently sourcing first aid courses. Preventive Action (1) The staff rota will be managed on a weekly basis to ensure a FAR-trained member of staff is on the premises at all times. Summary Comment The inspectors reviewed the corrective and preventive actions submitted by the registered provider following the inspection in relation to Regulation 25(1). Assurances given by the registered provider have been accepted and this will be reviewed at the next inspection

##### Regulation 29 — Premises

- (d) In the uncovered section of the outdoor area, there was a fixed activity board that was damaged as the veneer surface had worn away in parts leaving segregated edges of exposed wood. In the ‘Baby Area’ of the outdoor space, the veneer surface at the end of the slide’s wooden edges was also damaged leaving exposed wood. These damaged pieces of equipment increased the likelihood of injury through splinters or cuts to children’s hands. There was evidence in the service that the registered provider had been engaging with the suppliers of this equipment for some time seeking to have them repaired but this remained outstanding on the days of inspection

- The registered provider stated the following corrective actions and preventive actions have been carried out: Corrective Action (d) A specialist sports and play equipment company has been contacted to remove and replace the top unit. The part will be shipped on 20th May and installed on 27th May 2024. Preventive Action (d) The playground and equipment will be checked every morning before the children go out to play

Found compliant: Regulation 9, 10, 11, 16, 19, 24, 26, 28.
