Emergency Evacuation Procedure

In order to keep the children and staff safe we have developed the following procedure to evacuate our setting 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 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 
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
Mobile phone
Assemble at the bottom of the driveway by the gate
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
