##### Regulation 9 — Management and recruitment

- (2) The registered provider did not ensure that each employee, unpaid worker and contractor is suitable and competent taking into consideration the nature of the needs of children as follows: (a) (b) There were no references available for the 2 adults employed since the last inspection of the service on the 26th May 2024. (3) A review of documentation evidenced the registered provider had not taken the required steps as outlined in Regulation 9(2)(a)(b) to ensure that new recruits were suitable and competent before allowing them access to children, as detailed above. (4) There was no evidence available to show that 1 of the adults who were working directly with the children held a relevant major award in Early Childhood Care and Education on the National Framework of Qualifications

- (2)(a)(b)(3) References are now available and have been validated
- The new recruit is attending college to complete qualifications. A checklist has now been put in the front of each file

##### Regulation 15 — Record of pre-school child

- A sample of 12 records of preschool children maintained in the service were reviewed by the inspector to assess compliance. The documentation reviewed evidenced that the records did not detail all of the required information outlined under Regulation 15(1)(a) to (i) as detailed follows: (c) The 12 records did not contain details of the date on which a child would cease to attend the service. (f) Two of the records did not contain details of any illness, disability, allergy or special need a child may have. (i) Two of the records did not contain written parental consent for appropriate medical treatment of the child in the event of an emergency

- A ceased date has been added to the service forms so this can be recorded. The records have all been reviewed and now contain all of the necessary information

##### Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child

- General Safety: 1. The service did not adhere to the re-vetting timeframes as outlined in the Early Years Inspectorate Regulatory Notice, requiring services to renew Garda vetting every three years. One staff member working in the service did not have a Garda Vetting disclosure which was dated within the last 3 years. 2. An electrical cable was hanging from a shelf to a low level socket in reach of the children on the day of inspection which may pose a risk of strangulation to a child. Administration of Medication: A number of risks were identified relation to medication administration on the day of inspection which may pose a risk of harm to a child and were at variance with the policies and procedures in place in the service as follows: 3. There was no documented care plan in place for a child enrolled to attend the service who required emergency medication for a serious condition. The designated person in charge was unaware of the correct medication the child required. A review of documentation also evidenced that no pre-consent or written instruction for administration had been obtained by the service to administer the emergency medication to the child if required. This posed a risk of the child not receiving emergency medication in a timely manner or the incorrect administration of the medication to the child. 4. Staff members were unaware of the policy and associated procedures in place in the service for the administration of medication when asked by the inspector. Staff were also unaware what documentation, if any, was in use in the service to record both the administration of medication and written consent from parents/guardians. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

- General Safety: 1. Updated vetting has been applied for and review list is now at the front to track dates of vetting. 2. The electrical cable has been removed and secured out of reach of children. A weekly risk assessment will be completed. Administration of Medication: 3. A care plan is now in place for the child which has been created with the parents. Staff have all been trained on how to use the medication and on the training plan. 4. All staff have reviewed the relevant policies. Policies will be reviewed annually and new staff induction will be prioritised

##### Regulation 25 — First aid

- An adult trained in First Aid Responder (FAR) training was not available to the children during the inspection. It is acknowledged that an adult with paediatric first aid training was available in the primary school if required

- Staff are booked into the relevant first aid training. A record of when FAR expired will be monitored

Found compliant: Regulation 11, 16, 19, 26.
