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

- General Safety: (1) Garda vetting was available for all ten adults and the relief worker. However, three of the adults vetting disclosures were not dated within the previous three years in adherence with the Early Years Inspectorate Regulatory Notice ‘EYI- RN12.3 Renewal of Garda Vetting’. (2) A large adult sized doll’s house in the Butterfly care room was not anchored, posing a safety risk should it tip or fall on top of a child. (3) A white shelving unit in the Butterfly care room was not secured, posing a safety risk should it tip or fall onto a child. Infection Control: (4) The inspector observed that swing bins were in operation in the care rooms and in the sanitary areas in the service, posing a risk of cross contamination from the number of adults and children coming into contact with the lids. This was noted as a non-compliance on the last inspection 16 September 2023 when the registered provider stated in their response that all swing bins would be replaced. This was not found in practice on inspection. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

- General Safety: (1) Renewed Garda vetting for the three staff members has been submitted. Dates have been set to ensure that Garda vetting is renewed every three years. (2) A risk assessment has been carried out on the doll’s house which indicated that this piece of equipment is not suitable for children under three years. Therefore, it will not be placed in the Busy Bees care room. (3) A risk assessment was carried out of the shelving unit and consideration was given to the age and stage of development of the children in the care room. Risk assessments will be carried out on large unsecured equipment in the future. Infection Control: (4) All pedal bins have been replaced

##### Regulation 26 — Fire safety measures

The last fire drill was recorded on 24 April 2024 with the previous fire drill dated 1 February 2024.
