Full report (PDF, Tusla)

##### Regulation 22 — Food and drink

- The children who were attending on a part time basis were given a drink of water and a biscuit provided by the service as their second snack at 12:45. The snack provided for the children was not sufficent to meet their nutritional needs. Children who are attending a preschool service on a part time basis are required to be provided with a snack representing two food groups. The policy included the requirements for children who were attending on a part time basis to be provided with two snacks when they were attending the service
- The drinks for the children were kept in the fridge. The fridge was situated in the kitchenette which was secured with a safety gate which prevented children having free access to their drinks. Children attending a preschool, service are required to have access to their drinks at all times to ensure they are adequately hydrated

- A text message was sent to all parents following the inspection requesting parents to include an extra snack for their children who are attending the service on a parttime basis. The healthy eating policy in place in the service has been updated to include the addition of a snack for the children attending on a part time basis
- A drink station has been put in place in the service where children can now always access their drinks

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

- The inspector reviewed seven accident and incident forms which had been completed in the service. The records did not contain adequate information in the following examples: There were five which were not signed by parents: There were two that were not dated as to when the incident happened: There were two that were not signed by the childcare worker who had witnessed the incident. This practice was not in line with the service policy which states all accident and incidents in the service are dated as to when the incident occurred and signed by the childcare worker who witnessed the incident. The parent’s signature was also required to confirm they have been informed of the incident or accident involving their child in the service
- The service did not demonstrate compliance with the Early Years Inspectorate Regulatory Notice requiring services to re-new Garda vetting every 3 years. There were Garda vetting disclosures on file for all staff members, however the vetting disclosure for one adult member was not dated within the previous 3 years in adherence to with the Early Years Inspectorate Regulatory Notice EYI-RN12.3 Renewal of Garda Vetting

- Staff have been reminded of the importance of adhering to policy on the management of accident and incidents in the service. The accident and incident record book has been placed in an accessible place for staff to ensure it is completed as stated in the services policy, including the date of the incident, signature of the parent and signature of the staff member who witnessed the incident
- The vetting disclosure for one adult member which was not dated within the previous 3 years in adherence to with the Early Years Inspectorate Regulatory Notice EYI-RN12.3 Renewal of Garda Vetting remains in process with Tusla. The staff is currently not working directly with the children. The renewed vetting for the staff member will be sent to the inspector as soon as it is received by the service
