Regulation 29 — Premises

  • 1. On the day of inspection, the walls and the timber work in the children’s sanitary areas were not kept in good repair, there were areas of the walls and timber work that had sections of peeling paint and small crevices that were unsealed. This posed a risk to the children, as these areas were not easily cleaned. 2. The children’s hand-washing sink in the children’s sanitary area was stained and did not appear to be hygienically clean, thus posing a risk of cross infection to the children attending
Provider's corrective action:
