The Daycare in Wimbledon Childcare Safety Checklist

A safety inspection should be a regular part of the routine at your Daycare in Wimbledon. You’ll need to monitor staff training, facilities, equipment, and procedures to make sure your Daycare in Wimbledon is as safe as it can be. To know that you’ve covered all the bases, it helps to use a childcare safety checklist that will help you compare your center’s safety practices to the latest safety standards.

Our safety checklist for preschool classrooms and playgrounds will give you safety rules and guidelines for every area of your Pre-School Wimbledon Nursery. We’ll look at best practices for safety equipment, outside play areas, indoor classrooms, staff training, and more.
