Inspection of 23 January 2025 — Inspection Report
Immediate action notice. An immediate action notice was issued to the registered provider on the 23rd January 2025 in respect of
Regulation 15 — Record of pre-school child
- (h) One of the documents reviewed did not contain record of immunisations received by the child
Provider's corrective action:
- (h) The necessary details were acquired from the parents directly after the inspection. The Partnership with Parents policy and Settling-In Policy have been reviewed and amended to ensure that all regulatory requirements will be met before a child starts in the service. The Partnership with Parents Policy addresses the issue that was experienced through lack of support for parents with ESL. The Settling-In Policy now requires all regulatory information to be received and signed off on by the manager before a child starts in the Preschool
Regulation 25 — First aid
- There was no adult available to the children on the day of inspection with first aid responder (FAR) training or paediatric first aid training, and no adult had undergone first aid training since 2020. An immediate action notice was issued to the registered provider on the 23rd January 2025
Provider's corrective action:
- A member of staff was enrolled on the first available FAR course. The course ran from Monday 27th January until Wednesday 29th January inclusive. The adult has completed the course and is awaiting official certification. While the staff member was awaiting completion of the course, the service arranged for a FAR trained and certified colleague from the primary school in which the service are based to be available during opening hours. The policy on staff training and qualifications has been reviewed and updated to include specific and regular check-ins regarding staff qualifications. These will be done at the staff meetings which take place at the end of each academic year. This will allow for training to take place during the summer months. There will also be a check in during the month of January to allow for looming deadlines
