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.
Forest Schools present distinct fire hazards due to their reliance on open-air campfires, flammable natural materials like dry leaf litter, and temporary timber structures. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the 'responsible person' must evaluate risks unique to woodland settings, including fire spread to adjacent forestry and safe evacuation routes across uneven terrain. A competent assessor will specifically verify the location and maintenance of fire break zones around permanent fire circles, ensuring they are positioned sufficiently downwind from shelters and stored equipment.
