Setting up a Nursery
Risk Management
Whether you are looking to purchase an existing nursery or set up a brand new day care setting, making sure your new business is safe and secure is going to be crucial. Word of mouth is so important in the nursery sector so from well before you open, you need to make sure you have taken steps to ensure the safety and wellbeing of children, staff and indeed anyone who comes onto your grounds or inside your nursery.
What is Risk Management?
Risk Management is simply the process of putting sensible health and safety practices in place in order to control, reduce and hopefully eliminate risks from occurring.
UK law dictates that all employers have to assess and manage health and safety risks and whilst at first this may seem like a daunting task, it really isn’t that difficult once you know the basics.
The Risk Management services available from our risk management partner (Ecclesiastical Risk Services) are really aimed at giving our clients and potential clients with the information you need so you can make sure you, your staff, your customers and your nursery is protected at all times.
NCi Nursery have also put together a simple guide to risk management for your nursery and this can be downloaded below.
