General Safety: 1. Garda vetting was available for the three staff members in the service. However, one of these vetting disclosures were not dated within the previous three years in adherence to with the Early Years Inspectorate Regulatory Notice ‘EYI-RN12.3 Renewal of Garda Vetting’. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

Provider's corrective action:

General Safety: In a written response the registered provider stated: 1. A Garda Vetting Application has been submitted to the National Vetting Bureau through Early Childhood Ireland. The applicant/employee has been advised that they were to receive an email with a link to complete the application and to check their email so that no delays would be experienced. The pre-school has opted to standardise the date upon which all employees’ Garda Vetting will be renewed and this date has been added to the pre-school calendar. This will ensure that all vetting disclosures are maintained appropriately and are dated in adherence with the Early Years Inspectorate Regulatory Notice “EYI-RN12.3 Renewal of Garda Vetting”. The pre-school will ensure that future reminders are put into the school calendar at the time of renewal to ensure continuous adherence to regulations

Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 21, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29.

Provider's corrective action:

The provider contacted a company to service the Fire Detection and Alarm System. An initial survey by the new company took place on 07 December 2022.

The Service Agreement entered into with the new company will include six monthly scheduled service appointments to ensure that the service has up-to-date records in line with current regulations

An application has been made by the provider to the Building Blocks – Improvement Grant in order to obtain the necessary funds to install adult sanitary facilities within the setting. The provider will follow up with the application for the grant monies and ensure that all necessary documentation has been furnished in order to satisfy the requirements of the grant and thus ensure that the adult sanitary facilities can be installed at the earliest juncture

Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 15, 16, 19, 23.
