PHYSICAL FACILITY, EQUIPMENT AND FURNISHINGS: 11020 - CCLR s.13(2) - A licensee must ensure that the community care facility and the furniture, equipment and fixtures within it are clean and in good repair while children are in attendance.
Observation: During the inspection of the outdoor playground of the facility the following was observed:
- two horizontal planks on the swing playground were rotting and had sharp nails and splinters. The children were observed walking on the planks and playing on them.
- under the swings the mulch (wood chips) has been pushed away from under the swings and the black tarp underneath was exposed. More resilient surfacing needs to be under the swings.
- one horizontal plank on the blue and green climbing structure was broken and had a rusted nail exposed.
School age staff said that they check the playground for any debris daily and mark it on the playground check sheet. Staff said that they only check the swings for safety (to make sure they are not broken).
Corrective Action(s): Please ensure the playground is in good repair.
