FIRE DRILL POLICY

  • On discovering a fire, raise the alarm.
  • Immediately evacuate the building using the nearest safe exit.
  • Nursery officers will pick up the registers.
  • Staff will lead the children out in an orderly manner and should assemble at the designated assembly point. Babies will be placed in mobile fire cots and 2 members of staff will wheel each cot to the assembly point.
  • The Manager or Senior officer in charge, will check all area including toilets, staff room and baby changing area, sleep room and reception and play areas.
  • Close all doors behind you as you proceed out.
  • Dial 999 and ask for the fire service. Do not replace the handset until the fire service confirms our address.
  • Check the register to ensure all children are accounted for.
  • Account for all staff and any other adult in the building.
  • Only if it is not too dangerous and if you are sure you can do it quickly and safely, attempt to put out the fire using the appropriate fire
fighting equipment, which can be found hanging next to all fire exits.

Please note.
The fire drill will be held at regular and random intervals. These will be held with no regard to any conditions existing inside or outside of the nursery premises, e.g. rain, snow, frost, mealtimes, light or darkness,
