Les Lucioles Bowmanville
116 Ontario St, Bowmanville ON L1C 2T4 · Child Care Inspections
Inspection summary
Les Lucioles Bowmanville has been inspected 3 times by Durham Region Health Department since October 31, 2024. The most recent inspection, on August 15, 2025, recorded 1 infraction.
None of the 3 inspections on record were free of infractions. No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Handwashing and staff hygiene.
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.
Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk
Hand hygiene is the most important way to stop germs spreading between children, residents and staff. Inspectors check that sinks are stocked and easy to reach, that staff wash their hands when required (for example after diapering or before handling food), and that sick staff stay away from work.
Recorded once on August 5, 2025. For example:
Children and staff practice proper hand hygiene as per Durham Region Health Department recommendations
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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 5, 2025. For example:
Toys, teaching materials, surfaces, equipment, and/or furniture maintained clean and in good repair
Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk
Floors, walls and ceilings must be clean and in good repair, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate health risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.
Recorded 2 times on October 31, 2024. For example:
Floors, walls, ceilings, and other building fixtures maintained clean and in good repair
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 5 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on August 15, 2025. For example:
Outdoor playspace has no health and safety hazards (excluding play structure)
