Ballon Rathoe Community childcare Facility LTD, Ballon · Regulation not named in the report text
- On arrival to the service the designated person in charge confirmed to the inspectors that the registered provider named on the Early Years Inspectorate national register of preschool services was no longer in position. While the quality manager and designated person in charge confirmed a person has been appointed to replace the registered provider this change was not notified to the Early Years Inspectorate Change in Circumstance department. A change in circumstances application form was not submitted to the Inspectorate regarding the change in registered provider which occurred in November 2025. This was also identified as a non-compliance on the last inspection 18 June 2025, and the preventative actions stated by the service did not prevent a reoccurrence
Provider's corrective action:
- The Change in Circumstances (CIC) process in respect of the registered provider has now been completed. All required documentation has been finalised, and the service registration has been updated to reflect the current registered provider. This has been reviewed by the Board of Management and the management team to ensure that regulatory notification requirements continue to be addressed in a timely manner. The service is overseen by the Board of Management, working in coordination with the management team, with clear responsibility for ensuring that any CIC is progressed and notified as required. Appropriate oversight is maintained to ensure regulatory requirements are addressed in a timely manner
