Observed Violations

PHYSICAL FACILITY, EQUIPMENT AND FURNISHINGS: 11010 - CCLR s.13(1) - A licensee must ensure that a healthy and safe environment is provided at all times while children are under the supervision of employees. Observation: Noted on the previous facility inspection report #SMOY-BJHUVQ a small slide was located outside on the grass which is a safety hazard as the structure was not located on resilient ground cover to mitigate a fall. Upon arrival for today's inspection the Manager and a staff were in the process of dismantling a slide from a slide/baby swing structure. This item was located outside on grass; no resilient ground cover. The Manager said staff had the piece of equipment inside and thought it would be nice to bring it outside due to the warm weather. Licensing noted without the slide the structure was very unstable and could be easily tipped over. The Manager said there was a base that needed to be attached and filled with water to stabilize the structure. Corrective Action(s): The baby swing is not to be used until the structure meets the requirements of the manufacturer and the Director of Licensing Safe Play Spaces with regards to resilient ground cover. Alternately the Manager can remove this item from the children's play area. This is a repeated contravention from December 3, 2019. Date to be Corrected: 20 July 2020 PHYSICAL FACILITY, EQUIPMENT AND FURNISHINGS: 11020 - CCLR s.13(2) - A licensee must ensure that the community care facility and the furniture, equipment and fixtures within it are clean and in good repair while children are in attendance. Observation: The Licensing Officer noted areas to the left of the fireplace where the walls have been damaged and exposing the underlying building material. These areas are now porous and are no longer considered cleanable. In addition to this issue there is a concern that due to the ages of the children there is the potential that children will access this area and possibly ingest material that can be broken off. Corrective Action(s): During the inspection the Manager moved a piece of furniture in front of the area as a temporary fix. The Manager will need to repair this area in a manner that addresses the issue on a permanent basis. Date to be Corrected: 20 July 2020 STAFFING: 12110 - CCLR s.19(2)(b) - A licensee must not employ a person in a community care facility unless the licensee is satisfied, based on the information available to the licensee under subsection (1) and the licensee's or, in the case of an employee who is not the manager, the manager's own observations on meeting the person, that the person (b) has the personality, ability and temperament necessary to manage or work with children. Observation: During the inspection Licensing reviewed 2 staff files and neither file contained any evidence the individual's references had been verified. This is a repeat contravention from facility inspection report #SMOY-BJHUVQ dated December 3, 2019. Corrective Action(s): The Manager will need to implement a system that demonstrates they have verified staff references. Date to be Corrected: 20 July 2020

Comments

At the inspection dated July 13, 2020 there were 6 children and 2 staff present; the Manager was also on site for the inspection. The above noted contraventions were identified during the inspection and any action required by the Manager is listed here too. As part of this routine inspection a Facility Risk Assessment Tool is completed and a copy is provided. Licensing reviewed with the staff and Manager their cleaning and sanitizing procedures and the implementation of the facility's sick policy. Licensing provided to and reviewed with the staff and Manager the Fraser Health Resource Package for Childcare Facilities COVID 19 Prevention. Licensing discussed with the Manager their WorkSafe BC safety plan. The Manager said she has not developed one for this site and will work on it and once it is completed she will post it. Licensing discussed with the Manager and the staff when using face cloths with children the staff must use a fresh towel each time with a child. In other words once the face towel has been used it must be placed in the laundry and a fresh one is to be used next time. The rationale for this is to reduce the possibility of cross contamination. The Manager and the staff suggested families provide disposable wipes for staff to clean their child's face. Licensing informed the Manager and staff that this option is one alternate way of addressing the issue of using cloth towels. Should wipes be used they are not to be disposed of by means of flushing them down the toilet. Licensing also discussed with the Manager the recommendation to provide more room between the children's nap mats during the current pandemic. This may mean having some children sleeping in the main activity room and some children sleeping in the nap room. The rationale for this recommendation is to implement distance between the children where and when possible. During the inspection the Manager had an individual pick up the facility's fire extinguisher as it needed servicing. The fire extinguisher was returned during the inspection. This inspection was reviewed with the Manager at the time of the inspection. This report and the Facility Risk Assessment Tool was completed off site (time spent .33 hours) and a copy of these documents were sent to the Manager.
