At JCH Safety, we understand that safety in pre-school and nursery settings is paramount. Protecting young children, staff, and visitors is a critical responsibility for all education providers. With stringent regulations and regular inspections by Ofsted, it’s essential for nurseries and pre-schools to maintain high safety standards. This is where our comprehensive fire risk assessment and health and safety consultancy services come in to help you create and maintain safer environments.
Why Safety Matters in Early Years Settings?
Pre-schools and nurseries are unique environments with specific safety needs. Young children are vulnerable and less able to respond effectively to risks, which makes maintaining a safe environment even more crucial. Whether it’s preventing fire hazards or ensuring compliance with health and safety standards, the wellbeing of children and staff depends on the thorough identification and mitigation of risks.
Our services ensure that:
-Fire hazards are effectively identified and mitigated: We conduct accredited fire risk assessments to make sure your premises are not just compliant, but that they exceed expectations for safety.
-Health and safety regulations are strictly followed: From assessing play areas to ensuring emergency exits are accessible, our consultancy covers all aspects of health and safety to keep both children and staff safe.
