The provider has recently had new septic tanks and drain fields put in and stated the hot tub is empty because the septic company had to move it. The regulations require the hot tub to be latched and locked at all times during child care hours. Please provide Licensing Specialist with documentation the hot tub cover has been latched and locked - a photo is acceptable. | |||

| Findings: Provider has an above ground pool on the property. During inspection today, the pool gate was closed. When checked, the gate was self closing and self latching, but was not locked. The ladder was up, but was not locked. At least one of these things should be locked at all times during child care hours. The gate was locked during inspection. Also, during inspection, the hot tub cover was not secured. Provider is using bungee cords to secure the cover closed, but the cords on the step side of the hot tub were not secured. Cords were secured during inspection. The pool alarm was not in the pool during inspection today. The cover is off the pool; therefore the alarm should be in the pool. Please send photo of alarm in the pool to LS. | |||
| 2023-06-13 | Mandatory Review | 13A.15.10.02 | Corrected |
| Findings: The gate leading to the deck steps was open when LS arrived at the home. LS closed the gate and latched it. Provider is reminded that all gates to stairs and to unapproved areas are to be closed and latched when children under 5 are in care during child care hours. Provider had a bottle of wine located on the bottom shelf on the door in the child care refrigerator during inspection. The wine bottle was unopened and provider stated it was given to her this morning as a gift. Because the refrigerator is located in the child care area, there should be no alcoholic beverages present in it or in the child care space at all. Provider should remove the bottle and relocate it to where it is inaccessible to children. Provider relocated bottle to the top of the refrigerator during inspection. This was corrected on site. | |||

| Findings: Provider has an above ground pool. The pool, including the barrier at the top of the pool, is well over 4 feet in height from the ground. LS observed the ladder to be up and locked by a padlock and pool alarm was in pool. Provider has not added an 'enclosure' to insure the ladder is protected by a 4 foot high enclosure with a self closing, self latching gate. LS emailed provider in June 2020 with photos of 'enclosure' examples that would be acceptable to OCC. Please add this 'enclosure' to the pool as soon as possible and contact LS to come back to the home to observe it. Provider also has new hot tub. LS observed the hot tub to be covered, and 3 of the 4 latches keeping the cover on latched. The 4th latch is broken and should be fixed immediately. Provider is reminded the hot tub cover should be on with all latches latched and locked during child care hours. Please send photo correction to LS. | |||

| Findings: During inspection today, there was no documentation in three files that parents/guardians were given or advised how to obtain the consumer education information.
