Risk Assessment for Nurseries

This Risk Assessment for Nurseries course is ideal for anyone working in Early Years Foundation Stage settings, including childminders, nursery staff and pre-schools and includes information regarding Ofsted inspection. Early years providers have a legal responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of children, and risk assessment is a key part of meeting these requirements. 

It is all about anticipating what could happen, and forward planning for any sort of situation imaginable.

Children can be clumsy with falling over their feet and can sometimes injure themselves. If your organisation has the responsibility of caring for children all possible risks must be identified to avoid accidents. A risk assessment is the first stage to be able to identify all of the potential hazards within a childcare facility in an appropriate and effective manner. Following this, if you identify any hazards you must implement control measures both to protect the children as well as the adults that are looking after children by either making them aware of these hazards or subsequently shield them from such hazards.
