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

- Infection Control: 1. On the day of inspection, it was observed that the surface of the countertop at a sink in the care room which children could access was chipped. As this surface could not be cleaned effectively, it poses a risk of cross contamination and infection to staff and children. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

- Infection Control: The registered provider has repaired the countertop and replaced the surface with a non-toxic adhesive cover. To prevent this issue from reoccurring, the countertop will be inspected weekly and repaired as necessary

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

- (3) There was no evidence available to demonstrate that two references in respect of one adult had been validated by the registered providers before the staff member commenced working in the service

##### Regulation 26 — Fire safety measures

- (b) There were no records available on the day of inspection to evidence that the maintenance for the smoke alarm system was up to date. Records evidenced that maintenance of the smoke alarms had last taken place on 23 November 2022

- The school secretary contacted maintenance company. They informed her that the next inspection was due in April. They apologised for missing the last inspection. Every March I will remind the school secretary that the inspection is due in April. An alarm has been set on the playgroup’s phone and the registered provider’s private phone

##### Regulation 29 — Premises

- (d) A wooden box encasing pipework in the sanitary accommodation was water damaged. There was a large hole in the wood and the wood was observed to be peeling away and split
