Is a fire risk assessment required for a nursery?

Yes. Any childcare premises with staff and children must have a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment under Article 9 of the RRO 2005. Ofsted will expect to see a current, documented assessment as part of your safeguarding and welfare requirements.

How do you handle evacuation of very young children?

Our assessors review your evacuation procedures for babies and non-walkers — including evacuation cots, staff ratios, assembly points, and how quickly the setting can be cleared — and give clear, practical recommendations you can put straight into practice.

How much does a nursery fire risk assessment cost?

Most nurseries fall into the Standard tier at £549. Smaller settings may qualify for Fast Track (£349); larger multi-room or multi-floor settings with sleeping provision may need Enhanced (from £849). The quote form confirms your exact price.

Forest Schools Fire Risk Assessment

Built for Forest Schools

Ofsted-ready • Young children evacuation • Safeguarding-aware

Nurseries and childcare settings carry a special duty of care: young children cannot evacuate independently and rely entirely on staff during an emergency. A fire risk assessment for a nursery must account for staff-to-child ratios, cots and sleep rooms, and clear, practised evacuation procedures. HawkSwift produces Ofsted-ready reports that demonstrate your setting meets its legal fire-safety obligations. This page is tailored specifically to forest schools premises.
