Comments:

A Subsidy Health and Safety inspection was conducted on 1/10/20 from 11:10am until 1:20pm to review supplemental health and safety requirements. At the time of entrance, there were 18 children in care with 5 staff. A sample of 5 children's records and 5 staff records were reviewed. Children were observed eating lunch, engaging in free play and resting quietly during nap time. First aid and emergency supplies, the emergency preparedness plan and documentation of emergency practice drills were reviewed. The vendor stated there have been no injuries or accidents to children in care since the previous inspection and no medication is currently being administered. A licensing inspection was also conducted on this date; the two inspections combined cover all subsidy health and safety requirements. Only subsidy requirements that are not covered in licensing standards are reviewed during this supplemental inspection. Violations were found during the supplemental subsidy health and safety inspection and are identified on the violation notice.
