  Observation. Fridge temperature 4'C= good! During today's inspection Licensing observed blinds were down for the two windows in the main play room allowing no natural light. Licensing inquired as to why the blinds were down and were informed that there was no reason. Natural light is an important component to children's physical and psychological wellbeing. Licensing observed a tall standing mirror in the main play room. The mirror was unsecured and easily tipped when pulled. This poses as a hazard. Licensing observed a door stopper and a metal bolt sticking out of the wall in the napping room area. Sleeping mats were observed pushed up against these areas for children to rest. Licensing was informed that staff will often move the children away from the door stopper as they sometimes will play with it. A discussion was had around the potential of injury when children are resting up against these objects. Licensing observed the temperature in the nap room to be cold. Licensing was informed that although staff have access to a thermostat the nap room remains cold as the door stays closed and secure. A discussion was had about keeping the nap room door open to warm the space and make comfortable for children napping on the floor.
