Adults on site completed ten-minute sleep checks, however the required supervision for sleeping children in this age group is that an adult has to be present and required adult child ratios maintained - The registered provider responded: The children over 2 years old who sleep are now supervised by an adult who stays in the room with them, rather than just with the cameras and microphones. 10-minute checks will continue on all sleeping children 11 July 2025 ##### [Bundoran Community Childcare](/creche/bundoran-community-childcare-bundoran.md), Bundoran · Regulation 27 — Supervision - 1. Supervision in the toddler rooms did not meet regulatory requirements on the day of inspection. The inspector observed a child climbing unsupervised up the steps in the nappy changing area and onto the nappy changing unit, creating a potential safety risk. This was immediately brought to the attention of staff, and the child was promptly removed from the area - 1. The registered provider addressed a supervision concern with the staff member involved on the day of inspection and highlighted the dangers of inadequate supervision. At the team meeting, Regulation 27 – Supervision was discussed at length. It was acknowledged that the incident represented a serious safety issue. To prevent recurrence, a safety gate was installed inside the first door to prevent children from accessing the steps alone. At least one staff member will always maintain full attention on the children ### Regulation 27 in other counties - [Cork](/regulation/27/cork.md) - [Dublin](/regulation/27/dublin.md) - [Galway](/regulation/27/galway.md) - [Kerry](/regulation/27/kerry.md) - [Kildare](/regulation/27/kildare.md) - [Laois](/regulation/27/laois.md) - [Sligo](/regulation/27/sligo.md) - [Tipperary](/regulation/27/tipperary.md) - [Westmeath](/regulation/27/westmeath.md) - [Wicklow](/regulation/27/wicklow.md) --- Página: https://creche-inspection-reports.pages.dev/regulation/27/donegal/ Fonte: Tusla Early Years Inspectorate Recolha: 2026-09-11
