Inspection summary
Luma Childcare - Family Child Care has been inspected 2 times by Vancouver Coastal Health since August 19, 2026. The most recent inspection, on August 27, 2026, recorded 6 infractions.
None of the 2 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 19 infractions recorded. All recorded findings relate to upkeep, equipment or paperwork rather than direct health risks.
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.
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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 7 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 27, 2026. For example:
Implementation of the fire drill system is practiced at least once each month, and implementation of the emergency plan is practiced at least once each year. [CCLR Sec. 22(2)(b)(c)]
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 5 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 27, 2026. For example:
The facility, the furniture, equipment, fixtures and supplies are of sturdy and safe construction. They are easy to clean, and are clean and in good repair and free from hazards. [CCLR Sec. 13(2) and Sec. 15(1)(a)]
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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 27, 2026. 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 5 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 27, 2026. For example:
Children are provided with opportunities for social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth. [CCLR Sec 43]
