Comments

At today's inspection there were 8 children in care with 2 staff and the facility manager arrived part way through the inspection. No violations were identified during today's routine inspection.

The following information was shared with staff:
Supervision - the Director of Licensing Standards of Practice Active Play and Safe Play Spaces speaks directly to active supervision. All staff must practice active supervision, a combination of close proximity and attention, watching and listening. Staff must be able to move through and see the entire play space. All staff must know how many children are in their care at all times.
Reportable incidents - if a child is involved in a reportable incident as per Schedule Hof the Child Care Licensing Regulationchild care staff must report it to Licensing within 24 hours. Child care staff must call their Licensing Officer to make this report. If the Licensing Officer is unavailable child care staff are asked to call the Central Intake Line at (604) 587-3936 and ask to speak with the Regional Licensing Officer. This phone is staffed during regular business hours.
Lead in the water - child care staff are being encouraged to help reduce the amount of lead children may be exposed to. Staff may achieve this by turning on the taps each morning where children access their drinking water and leave the taps running for two to five minutes.

Handouts regarding reportable incidents and lead in the water were left for staff with this report.

If there are any questions regarding this report please contact the writer directly.

The writer would like to thank the staff for their time and assistance with today's inspection. The Licensing Officer was unable to obtain a signature from the Manager during the inspection as there was a problem with the computer; a copy of the inspection was sent to the Licensee via regular mail.
