What these findings mean
Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for the people in care. Higher-risk findings are the ones that could directly make someone sick, and they matter more here because young children, older adults and people who are unwell are more vulnerable to infection.
Equipment and utensilsLower risk
Equipment has to be made of cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked surface or worn part. They are generally lower risk but show how well the place is maintained.
Recorded 6 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on May 27, 2026. For example:
Design: Safety zones are provided under and around equipment to allow for the safe and proper use of the equipment, with adequate space for entering and exiting. [Director of Licensing Standard of Practice - Safe Play Space]
Permits, records and postingLower risk
Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.
Recorded once on June 10, 2024. For example:
Instructions in a child's record or care plan respecting food and drink for the child are followed. [CCLR Sec.48(2)]
Food safety training and certificationLower risk
Many jurisdictions require a trained or certified person on site, such as a certified food handler. These findings mean the training record or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean anything was handled unsafely.
Recorded once on June 7, 2023. For example:
The licensee keeps a current record for each child showing the information required. [CCLR Sec. 57]
Other findingsLower risk
Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.
Recorded 2 times on June 10, 2024. For example:
Children are supervised at all times by a person who is an educator, an assistant or a responsible adult. [CCLR Sec. 39(1)]
