Ballinamoney Childcare Project CLG Ltd, Bailieborough · Regulation 30 — Minimum space requirements
- (1) In the Buttercups room between 12 and 1pm adequate clear floor space was not available for the 26 children in the room having their dinner. (2) There were 26 children aged between 3 to 5 years requiring 2.3 m² each. The space available in the care room was 52.84 m² which could only accommodate 23 children
Provider's corrective action:
- Corrective Action 1. Between 12 and 1 o’clock the children who are going for sleep in the Precious Petals room will remain in this room for their dinner, after their dinner they will get ready for their sleep, which also takes place in the precious petals room. 2. On the 9th of May the manager sent the architectural plans of our building to the Tusla inspector. The reason for sending the plans was to show Tusla that our room had always been inspected at a higher square footage to what was measured on the day of the inspection. In seeing that the room was in fact 52.84m2 on the day of the inspection the registered provider ensured that between 12 and 1pm there are no more than 23 children in the room at any one time. Preventive Action: 1. All children going for their sleep at 12:30 will have their dinner in the precious petals room and not be moved over to the Blossoming Buttercups room. 2. Following the inspection the manager made sure to note the square footage of the room and will ensure that all clear floor space is available to accommodate the specific age groups moving forward. Summary Comment The response from the registered provider has addressed the non-compliances in Regulation 30
