Inspection summary
Play'N'Fun Daycare and OSC - Daycare has been inspected 11 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since November 18, 2024. The most recent inspection, on January 29, 2026, recorded 2 infractions.
None of the 11 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 2 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Handwashing and staff hygiene and Protecting food from contamination.
Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.
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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on January 29, 2026. For example:
Are properly operating hand washing sink(s) available in suitable location(s), and properly stocked with handwashing supplies?
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 4 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on January 8, 2025. For example:
Are clients at this facility being protected from hazards (Non-Critical)?
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 18 times across 10 separate inspections, most recently on September 15, 2025. For example:
Is the plumbing system adequate and being properly maintained (Non-Critical)?
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 10 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on January 29, 2026. For example:
Is the facility and equipment being maintained in a suitable manner (Non-Critical)?
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 17 times across 10 separate inspections, most recently on September 15, 2025. For example:
Are sleeping supplies and areas sufficient to ensure client safety and comfort (Non-Critical)?
