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: The facility has a set of interior stairs leading up to the second level off the kitchen/family room. During today's inspection the Licensee showed Licensing a portable gate that she uses when she leaves the children in the room to assist children in other areas of the daycare.
Licensing inspected the outdoor play space and noted there are shelving units with items for use by the Licensee and her family. The items are stored in a manner that could potentially fall onto the children or fall off and break (glass). The Licensee said she takes the children outside to play on a daily basis.
Corrective Action(s): The Licensee will need to have the gate installed at the base of the stairs whenever the daycare is in operation to prevent a child from potentially climbing the stairs and falling down.
The Licensee will need to rearrange the storage in the outside area to ensure all items are stored securely .
