Grit in the Gears

I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes. I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over. I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong. And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions. I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely. It's what we do.

A Safety Inspection.

In some of my life, I'm a gas heating engineer, and a part of the job is carrying out service and safety inspections. This is a childcare facility.
Last year they were issued with a warning notice about storing flammable items (cans of paint, cleaning fluids, aerosol cans, cardboard, plastic toys) in the compartment holding a very big 60 Kilowatt ducted space-heater. Oh. And they were also warned about blocking the ventilation grilles.

See anything wrong with this scenario?

Would you trust these 'trained professional childminders' with your child's life?
