We’re excited to announce the launch of our brand-new course: Fire Safety for Early Years, now available to purchase on our website.
Designed specifically for nursery staff, childminders, and Early Years professionals, this course provides practical, essential training to help keep children safe and ensure your setting meets inspection requirements.
Why Fire Safety Training Matters
Fire safety is a critical part of safeguarding in Early Years settings. Unlike adults, young children rely entirely on staff to recognise risks, act quickly, and guide them safely in an emergency.
A fire can spread in minutes and without clear procedures, the consequences can be devastating.
This course has been created to ensure that all staff:
- Understand how fires start and spread
- Can identify hazards before they become risks
- Know exactly what to do in an emergency
- Feel confident carrying out evacuations and fire drills
Who Is This Course For?
This training is suitable for:
- Nursery practitioners and room leaders
- Nursery managers and senior staff
- Childminders
- Early Years apprentices and students
