Inspection summary

Les Lucioles - Pickering has been inspected 5 times by Durham Region Health Department since November 4, 2024. The most recent inspection, on June 30, 2026, found no infractions.

1 of 5 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 3 inspections with 13 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Food source, labelling and allergens, Handwashing and staff hygiene and Pests.

Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.

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.

  • Food source, labelling and allergensHigher risk

    Food and other products must come from approved sources, stay in labelled containers and be thrown out when spoiled, expired or damaged. Labelling also matters for allergies: an unlabelled container can hide an allergen.

    Recorded 6 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 2, 2026. For example: Absorbent materials laundered/cleaned and disinfected/discarded weekly (e.g. slip covers, dress-up clothes, plush toys, puzzles, cardboard)

  • 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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 2, 2026. For example: Toilets, potty seats/chairs, and handwashing sinks cleaned and disinfected daily and more often as required

  • PestsHigher risk

    Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food, supplies and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

    Recorded once on June 2, 2026. For example: Adequate pest control measures present (e.g. licensed pest control company), as required

  • Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk

    Cleaning products, disinfectants and pesticides must be labelled and stored safely, away from food and from surfaces people touch. Inspectors flag chemicals that could contaminate food or harm people, as well as pest treatments applied without proper supervision.

    Recorded once on June 2, 2026. For example: Medications, chemicals, and cleaning agents are inaccessible to children

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food and supplies are stored and handled: kept covered, off the floor, and away from anything that could contaminate them. Where food is served, raw meat must be kept away from ready-to-eat food, a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded once on November 4, 2024. For example: Contaminated items are not shared and are immediately removed to be cleaned and disinfected/laundered/discarded (e.g., mouthed, drooled on, sneezed/coughed on)
