Mary Alasu Childcare

In order to keep the children and myself safe I have developed the following procedure to evacuate my home in the event of an emergency. This may be as a result of a fire, flooding, gas leak etc. The children will regularly practice the evacuation procedure with me so they will not be alarmed in the event of the situation being real. Practices will be carried out on different days of the week to ensure all children practice and the details recorded in the evacuation log.

• Sound the alarm (this is a whistle)
• Evacuate the children using the safest and nearest exit available (Babies and toddlers will be carried to safety)
• Take attendance record for the day, contact numbers and mobile phone
• Assemble in the front of the house (car park area)
• Contact the emergency services
• Comfort and reassure the children
• Arrange safe place for the children to stay until parents can collect them
• Follow the instructions of the Emergency Services
• Do not return to the building until the Emergency Services have declared it safe to do so
