Tots to Teens Childcare Ltd., Carrig Na Bhfear · Regulation 28 — Insurance
- The insurance policy provided on the day of inspection did not indicate the type of service insured. Not appropriately insuring the service may hinder appropriate management of concerns that require a response from an insurance company. It was acknowledged that details of updated insurance cover were received on 16 May 2024
Provider's corrective action:
- The service’s insurance company was contacted and an updated insurance cert was issued. This includes the required details and states that the service provides full day care. In future, the service will ensure that all correspondence with the insurance company includes the correct information
