##### [Rising Stars Childcare](/creche/rising-stars-childcare-mallow.md), Mallow · Regulation 27 — Supervision

- On entering the toddler room at 13:05, it was noted by the inspector that three children aged between 2 to 3 years were sleeping on floor beds unsupervised. It is acknowledged that staff entered the room between every 5 to 10 minutes and performed recorded sleep checks. This level of supervision is inadequate and posed a risk to children of having access to the room and other children unsupervised

- Management will allocate a staff member to remain in the toddler sleep room at all times while the children are sleeping. This will be allocated on the staff roster to ensure all staff are aware
