Fire Policy
Starbeck Pre-school
As part of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) requirements, it is
imperative that we have the relevant fire safety equipment and procedures in
place. Our aim is to ensure everyone’s safety
Assembly Point – Next to the gates leading to the large playground area

If you suspect a fire, or in the event of a fire you must alert everyone
then you should then call the Fire Brigade by dialling 999. (Information
on "How to call the Fire Brigade" is located next to the fire
extinguisher).
 Do not attempt to tackle the fire.
 There are two Fire Exits, one in the main entrance and one at the rear
of the building.
 All children and adults will be evacuated by the nearest fire exit.
 Should both fire exits become blocked all windows can be opened
wide enough to climb through. One adult will climb through the
window; children will be passed to the adult .
 The Register and Visitors Book and mobile phone must be collected
and taken to the Fire Assembly Point.
 Staff/Adults in the outside area will evacuate children to the gate and
escort them into the large playground area Fire Assembly Point.
 During evacuation one member of staff will search the building to
check that all children and adults have been evacuated.
 In the event that the main doors are blocked, staff and children will
exit through the back door and walk across to the Fire Assembly Point.
 Once at the Fire Assembly Point all names of children and adults will
be called from the Register and Visitors Book and marked present.
 All adults and children will remain at the Fire Assembly Point until the
Fire Brigade has declared the building safe.
 Should the building be declared unsafe to return to, all parents will be
contacted to collect their children. Staff will remain at the Fire
Assembly Point until all children have been collected.
