LPAs addressed the laminating machine to the Head Teacher and the Principal during the inspection since the laminating machine requires that it be turned on for several minutes to heat up prior to laminating. In addition, LPAs observed that the laminating machine is stored on top of a broken plastic cart. Since the machine was not on during the time of the inspection, LPAs advised the Principal that this poses a potential health and safety risk to children in care, however, when it is on it poses an immediate health and safety risk to the children in care.

LPAs also advised the Head Teacher and the Principal to lower the stacking of the chairs in Room 5. LPAs observed that chairs were being stacked in bundles of 5 and 6 which exceeded the height of the children present in the classroom.
