Creche faces eight charges after inspection

A creche and preschool facility in Co Cork faces eight charges after an “unannounced” inspection by Health Service Executive officials.

One of the inspectors, an environmental health officer, told a district court yesterday she had, at one stage during the visit, “a feeling something bad was going to happen” at Tiny Tots facility in Killeagh.

The charges taken under the Child Care (Preschool Service) Regulations 2006, include alleged under-staffing, hygiene concerns and failing to ensure the well-being of babies and toddlers.
