Visual risk assessments of our setting are carried out continually to ensure it is a safe environment for the children.
We also carry out a comprehensive, written risk assessment (including fire risk assessment) which is reviewed at minimum every six months, or when significant changes occur in our setting e.g. a new child starting, or after any significant accident/incident or identified concern.
