A Subsidy Health and Safety Inspection was conducted on Wednesday, April 5, 2023. The inspector was on site from 11:00am to approximately 2:20pm. There were 65 children in attendance with 12 staff directly supervising. During the inspection, the children and staff were observed participating in a variety of activities.
