Promote Fire Safety in Childcare Settings | Australian Fire Protection

Need assistance in Fire Safety Compliance & Emergency Preparedness?

Concerned about Fire Safety for your Centre? 

Let us take the worry out of your day so you can focus on what you do best, caring for children. Australian Fire Protection (AFP) designs emergency plans and evacuation diagrams for both single & multi-story Early Learning Centres (ELC). Ensuring your Centre is safe for staff, children, and visitors requires careful consideration of fire safety, emergency planning, and evacuation procedures. This means having staff members who are trained professionally and evacuation procedures that are well rehearsed.

The Australian Standards AS3747 describe an emergency as any event that arises internally or from external sources, which may adversely affect the safety of occupants or visitors in a facility, and requires an immediate response. For Early Learning Centres, this means having a well-designed Emergency Plan that educators can easily follow when evacuating the children and babies.

Multi-storey buildings
For Early Learning Centres in multi-storey buildings, these challenges will include the location of babies' and toddlers' rooms in the facility, the availability of fire safety equipment, and the number of staff on-site to assist in the evacuation of children using evacuation cots, prams, and baby carriers.

Planning and Evacuation Practice
All Early Learning Centres must constantly review and consider planning, regular training, and fire drills. AFP ensures Fire Safety for Early Learning Centres by Preparing People for Emergencies. Our Fire Safety Advisors will work with you to ensure your team is ready to face any emergency that may arise.

The Role of a Fire Safety Advisor

  • Fire evacuation planning with site-specific emergency procedures & educators’ responses for each room to ensure your ELC emergency preparedness.
  • Safety signs in childcare centres, including evacuation diagrams depicting optimal exit paths for each fire safety reference point
  • Designs evacuation diagrams with minimum & optional elements such as first aid kits, evacuation bags, etc.
  • Rehearse evacuation drills/practices to ensure educators respond in accordance with the facility's emergency response plan.
  • Emergency response - educators and staff trained in first response / first-attack firefighting.
  • Warden training - educator and staff trained in warden duties/evacuation coordination procedures.
  • Provides tailored training for childcare workers to ensure all children are safe in an emergency.

To enhance emergency evacuation procedures in childcare, AFP offers advanced training and workshops focused on handling potential emergencies, using fire safety equipment, and creating detailed emergency plans. These sessions are designed to train your staff with the skills, resources, and confidence needed to ensure the safety of children in the event of a fire emergency
