Inspection of 3 June 2025 — Inspection Report
Regulation 9 — Management and recruitment
- 1 (a)(b)(c) The designated person in charge was not on the premises on the day of the inspection and confirmed to the inspector that they are not on the premises on a daily basis. No one had been appointed to deputise in their absence. 2(a)(b) Two of the references required were not on file
Provider's corrective action:
- 1. The PIC has been changed since the inspection- CIC was submitted and it has been approved that a new Person in Charge has been appointed. 2. One staff has obtained her second reference. We are waiting for the other staff to submit her reference as she is currently on leave. We will ensure all reference are in place before staff start in service
Regulation 19 — Health, welfare and development of child
- (1) (b) 1. Drinking water was not available to the children outside of the designated snack time, some children did not partake in snack time therefore did not have a drink for the duration of the session. 2. The privacy and dignity of each child was not respected during nappy changing. The privacy screen in place was not sufficient to ensure privacy and dignity of the preschool child as this space is shared with the preschool children’s sanitary accommodation. This has been a previous noncompliance on the previous two inspections in 2020 and 2021
Provider's corrective action:
- 1. Children water bottles were put out on the trolly at main door in the morning and put away just before home time. We will ensure that this process is carried out during the day. 2. We will ensure that this privacy screen is high enough and far enough out to ensure other children cannot see children getting changed. This will be carried out over the summer months- to have it completed for the new term in September
Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child
- Infection Control: • In the children’s sanitary accommodation, there was no soap available for effective handwashing. • Children’s hands were not washed after nappy changing posing a risk of cross infection to the preschool child. Action submitted by the Registered Provider
Provider's corrective action:
- Infection Control: 1. The soap dispenser has been refilled. The refilling of soap dispensers has been added to the morning checklist. 2. The nappy changing policy has been given to staff with handwashing highlighted. All staff will be trained in this policy at the beginning of a new term
Found compliant: Regulation 11, 25, 26, 28.
