Observation: At today's inspection it was observed that 3 staff criminal record checks (CRC) were not site specific and one staff had an expired CRC. Licensing discussed the importance of keeping criminal record checks up to date to ensure the health and safety of children in care. The director stated that she has applied to share the CRC's. She also stated she has contacted the criminal record review branch many times and the CRC's are still in process.
Corrective Action(s): Please ensure all staff files are complete. Please ensure the CRC's have the address of the facility the staff is currently working in on the CRC. This is a repeat contravention.

Observation: Licensing observed the director has not received her renewal for her ECE certificate. The director stated in the previous inspection that she applied for her ECE certificate but she was still waiting for a response. In discussion with the director today she mentioned the date she applied for her renewal was August 30th, 2018. The director contacted the ECE registry on October 1st, 2018 and they confirmed she should be receiving her certificate sometime during the week of October 8-12th, 2018. I spoke with the director about her plan for being left alone with the children. She stated she has an ECE and and Infant toddler staff at her other daycare and she is not part of the ratio at Apple Island Child Care.

When reading the new repayment policy this information was not captured.
Corrective Action(s): Please ensure the repayment policy is up to date with the information that was discussed. Please ensure the parents are given a written copy of the revised repayment policy. This is a repeat contravention.

Comments

Licensing spoke with the director today about the inspection. The director stated she has created a system to check expiry dates for staff records. A written health and safety plan was submitted to licensing on September 14, 2018 addressing how the director addressed the immediate risk to health and safety risks in the outdoor playground. On September 25, 2018 a written plan was submitted to licensing addressing how the director would mitigate future risk to the health and safety of children in care in the outdoor playground. The written health and safety plans meet the intent and the playground is now safe to use. Another written plan addressing how the director would correct the other contraventions from the inspection on September 12/13 2018 was submitted on September 25, 2018. Thank you for your time today. The report was printed and signed as there is a glitch with the signature area.
