Introduction

An unscheduled routine inspection was conducted to assess compliance with the Community Care and Assisted Living Act (CCALA), the Child Care Licensing Regulations (CCLR) and the relevant Director of Licensing Standards of Practice (DLSP). All areas of the facility were reviewed for compliance with the exception of: staff documentation, children's documentation, emergency drill logs.

Contraventions
Previous Inspection - Not Applicable
Current Inspection - Items reviewed comply with the Act, regulations & standards of practice except for those noted on supplementary pages.

Observed Violations
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: During inspection the following was observed by Licensing:

- Centre A & C had chemicals located in the unlocked cupboard under the sink in the kitchen area which is accessible to children.

- Centre B had equipment stacked in piles in the washroom located close to the sink where children wash their hands. This equipment could fall on children if they knock the pile over. Staff stated they had placed the equipment there while they were sorting it before finding somewhere to store it.
Corrective Action(s): Ensure hazardous items are not accessible to children.
Date to be Corrected: Nov. 25, 2019.


Comments

At the inspection dated Nov. 20, 2019 there were 55 children and 11 staff present. At this inspection the above noted contraventions were identified.
Licensee to correct noted violations and submit written documentation to Licensing once they have been addressed.
Manager was not present at time of inspection.
* Upon arrival it took Licensing 5 minutes of knocking on the door into the hallway to Centre A & B before a staff person heard them to open the door. The entrance doors into the hallways to each centre has a keypad/ swipe pad to enter only. There is no buzzer/ bell to allow a visitor to inform staff that they are needing to enter the facility, this is a challenge for Licensing when they conduct unscheduled inspections. Licensee will need to find a solution for Licensing to be able to gain access to the facility when the manager is not present..

Licensing was unable to access: staff documentation, children's documentation, emergency drill logs as they were locked in a filing cabinet in the manager's office & no one on site had a key to the cabinet. Licensing will schedule a follow up inspection with the manager to review these items upon the manager's return.

During inspection Licensing observed:
- children in all centres engaged in outdoor free play. Children in Centres A & C had transitioned from circle time to outdoor play time during inspection
- staff were interacting with children while they were engaged in activities assisting with problem solving when necessary.
