The staff members advised the inspector that the snack was due at 11.am. The staff members settled the children for snack at 10.58am and the snack arrived at 11.14am. Following a delay in the serving of the children’s snack some children were observed becoming restless and walked around the room to different play areas. The inspector observed staff members gently and repeatedly asking children to return to their seats. Children’s learning and development was not facilitated during this transition period, where for 16 minutes the children were required to sit at the tables and wait for their snack with no play or learning opportunities provided - The registered provider stated that this was an unusual delay and staff have been advised if a delay occurs at any mealtime, staff will engage children in a quiet activity, for example story time, singing, or circle time where children are encouraged to tell share their stories, experiences and interests. Summary Comment The action submitted by the registered provider in their corrective and preventive action plan has addressed the non-compliance identified on inspection ##### Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child - General Safety: 1. The service did not demonstrate compliance with the Early Years Inspectorate Regulatory Notice requiring services to renew Garda vetting every three years as there was no updated Garda Vetting disclosure for the owner of the service. 2. The blind cord on the back window in the upstairs care room was unsecured and posed an injury risk to a child. It is acknowledged when brought to the attention of the person in charge this was then secured out of reach. Infection Control: 3. A risk of cross contamination was observed in the outdoor area. The children from Sun Catchers room were observed to have a fruit snack in the outdoor area at approximately midday. No handwashing was observed before children were given fruit which they ate with their hands. This poses an infection control risk - Corrective & Preventive Action General Safety: 1. The registered provider stated that they have a very precise Garda vetting procedure and now that there is clarity on the owner’s requirement this will be obtained. 2. The blind cord was secured, and the manager will complete checks. Infection Control: 3. The staff were retrained in hand washing requirements, and this is ongoing ##### Regulation 29 — Premises - (c) No active ventilation was observed in the downstairs toilet. During the inspection a malodour was noted in this toilet. This practice was found to be non-compliant on previous inspection on 16 May 2023. The corrective actions submitted following those inspections failed to prevent recurrence of this non-compliance.
