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 temperature controlHigher risk

  Inspectors check that anything that has to be kept at a set temperature, such as chilled or hot food, or equipment like sterilizers, stays in its safe range and that accurate thermometers are on hand. With food, temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning.

  Recorded once on November 5, 2025. For example: Precautions in place to prevent scalding (less than 43°C/109.4°F hot water temperature)

• 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 once on November 5, 2025. For example: No condemnation/seizure required

• Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

  Surfaces, dishes and tools that touch food or people must be cleaned and then sanitized or disinfected. Inspectors check sanitizer strength, dishwasher temperatures and how cleaning is done. Poor sanitizing lets germs survive from one use to the next.

  Recorded once on October 22, 2024. For example: Test strips/reagents available, used to verify concentration of disinfectant solutions prepared on site

• 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 November 5, 2025. For example: Toys/materials and shelving cleaned and disinfected, and activity recorded in accordance with Durham Region Health Department Child Care Cleaning and Disinfection Schedule (Excluding infant and toddler areas)

• 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 once on November 5, 2025. For example: Toys, teaching materials, surfaces, equipment, and/or furniture maintained clean and in good repair
