- General Safety: 1. A metal gate which led on to the front car parking area had a low-level unsecured handle easily accessible to the children. Additionally, there was a gap between the double metal gate and the wooden fencing, which was not adequately secured in order to prevent the risk of a child exiting this area unsupervised. Infection Control: 2. The food items taken in from home for the children attending the Pre-Toddler Room were observed to contain perishable items such as cheese and yogurts. These food items were stored in baskets within the care rooms and not in a refrigerator at the recommended storage of 5°C or below
Provider's corrective action:
- Corrective & Preventive Action General Safety: 1. Boths gates at the side of the building now have locks on them. As the double gate is never open that lock will always remain locked, as for the single gate when all staff has reported to work, the single gate will be locked, and safety checks will be carried out before the children go outside. Infection Control: 2. A fridge has been placed into the pre- toddler room. Fridge temperatures will be taken and recorded on placed on file
