Observation: Licensing had previously contravened the following at the routine inspection:

- Broken cupboard door in the 3-5 program. This has a cupboard lock on the doors but when pulled, the door falls off. This is in an area where children have access.
These concerns are still outstanding. This is a repeat contravention.
