Reviewed by Chris Banks, Commercial Director & NEBOSH-qualified assessor · Last reviewed October 2026
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 day care centres premises.
Day care centres present unique challenges due to the presence of vulnerable individuals who may require assistance during an evacuation. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must ensure that fire safety procedures account for the specific needs of children and adults in their care. A competent assessor will rigorously evaluate the Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs) to ensure they are robust, checking that staff-to-child ratios allow for a swift, orderly escape without reliance on external rescue services.
