PHYSICAL FACILITY, EQUIPMENT AND FURNISHINGS: 11200 - CCLR s.17 - A licensee must ensure that children do not have access to any object or substance that may be hazardous to the health or safety of a child.
Observation: Licensing observed the kitchen door open in the Group Child Care (30 month to school age) space. In the kitchen is a hot water urn that was hot to the touch and this is accessible to children. Licensing does acknowledge that supervision is maintained whilst children are in the play space and that there is a STOP notice at the door of the kitchen but the potential risk remains for scalding/burn should a child wander in the kitchen and touch it.
Corrective Action(s): Please ensure this area is inaccessible to children at all times.
