Cork childcare centre had unvetted workers and no place to play outside

Child welfare is being compromised at a creche County Cork VEC broke procurement rules to build.

A HSE inspection at Kiddieland in Ballyellis, Mallow, found the centre breached five different regulations. The personal care and physical environment provided to the children was not compliant with the standards required.

In the play area, the flooring was not safe for the children, and the way toddlers were allowed to roam was hazardous to babies.
