Inspection of 2 December 2025 — Inspection Report
Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child
- Infection Control: While it is acknowledged that hand wipes were left on the tables in the Montessori room at snack time for the children to wipe their faces and hands, no hand washing took place between children transitioning from Music and Movement and having their snacks. Handwashing by adults and children should be carried out using warm water and liquid soap, before snack time, following using the toilet facilities and following outdoor play. Regular hand washing is essential for infection control purposes. Action submitted by the Registered Provider
Provider's corrective action:
- Infection Control: We have now revised our routine before mid-morning snack - and the children are now supervised while washing their hands, using warm water and liquid soap, directly before being seated for their snack. Staff also wash their hands at this time. This routine is now in place since 03/12/2026 and is working well. To prevent non-compliance from re-occurring in the future, our Montessori Infection Control Policy has been updated to now make specific reference to children and staff washing their hands before morning snack – see Section on “Hand Hygiene”
Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28.
