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: Some of the equipment and flooring within the outdoor play area is very slippery as it is made of wood and the algae has started to grow on it, making it slippery. There are multiple stumps within the Toddler outdoor space that are very slippery. Additionally, the infant deck is also very slippery from the algae. The staff had indicated that when it rains, they tend to go for walks in the stroller because the flooring can be too slippery/hazardous for the young ones to play on. Some discussion was had around this concern as it does not meet the active play policy for the centre as the children are regularly sitting in strollers rather than getting some physical exercise outside. Some discussion was had around the wood flooring and alternate methods that could be used to fix or rectify this situation.
Corrective Action(s): Please ensure facility is healthy and safe.
