Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Issues Regarding Childcare Facilities: Discussion
Ms Fiona McDonnell:
When inspections take place, we examine the roster. We look at it for the number of staff on site on the day of the inspection. We look at the roster for the previous week and so on. We take into account that other staff may arrive, especially when the facility is part of a chain. We look at rosters also in the context of adult-child ratios and in respect of the time of day, such as the drop-off of the child in the morning, lunch breaks and during closing time.
