During today’s inspection one staff, the manger and 5 children were on site.
Licensing notes that it appears that the previously identified contraventions have been appropriately addressed as follows:
· Healthy and Safe Environment including-
o Backyard- stepping logs have been moved away from the rock wall, the exposed nails have been removed, and the swings have been tied up and out of use, as the climbing structure is dug deep into the ground and unable to be moved at this time. The manager is working on a long time goal, Licensing discussed there is no requirements to have climbing structures, as active play can be achieved in many other ways.
o Inside- moon lamp taken off wall, and all electrical outlets are covered
· All staff’s certificates have been verified and a copy of the validation placed in file
· Fire drill documentation shows that a recent fire drill was practiced and recorded for July 2018
· A temporary placement application was submitted and approved allowing for a 4th child under the age of 36 months to attend the facility. Support plan is being followed as evident
