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

- General Safety: 1. An access door leading from the Montessori room was left unsecured at times during the day when children were playing in the outdoor area. All entry points to the building are required to be secured to prevent unauthorised access. Infection Control: 2. The cot mattresses were not covered in a waterproof material posing an infection control risk. 3. The sanitary accommodation adjacent to the Montessori room was not equipped with liquid soap, disposable paper towels, toilet roll or a toilet seat posing an infection control risk. Administration of Medication: 4. While the medication administration records recorded parental consent for administration, there was no evidence that parents had been informed of medication administration on each occasion. It is acknowledged that a phone call is made to parents prior to administration and verbally informed on collection of the child however a written record is required. Safe Sleep: 5. The records of sleep checks carried out in the baby room did not provide sufficient detail on the colour, breathing pattern or position of each individual child. The records reviewed demonstrated that a tick was documented to confirm that both were checked, however the detail on the child’s pallor and breathing is required to be documented. Action submitted by the Registered Provider
