Risk Assessment Description:

This Kids’ Club and Creche safeguarding safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps duty managers and supervisors ensure a safe, compliant environment for children in hotel family facilities.

It covers all key areas including staff training and DBS checks, supervision ratios, allergy and medication management, pool and soft‑play safety, fire routes, cleaning chemicals and emergency procedures. The checklist aligns with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and reflects best practice for hospitality childcare settings.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑opening inspections – verify that the facility is ready for children each day.
  • Daily operational checks – confirm safe supervision, equipment condition and medication handling.
  • Incident and hand‑over procedures – ensure any concerns are recorded and children are collected safely.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A; any No response must be addressed before children are admitted or before the shift ends. Record the answer, take corrective action and sign off the register.

To use the checklist, staff tick Yes, No or N/A for each question, note any corrective actions required for No responses, and retain the completed form for audit and hand‑over purposes.

Fully editable and shareable — customise the questions to your site, download as a PDF and share with your team.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

Can I customise the checklist questions to my workplace?

Yes — fully. Add your own questions, edit or remove any of the pre-written ones, and reorder them to suit your site, task or inspection before you download.

Are the safety checklists suitable for UK workplaces?

Yes. The checklists are written around UK health and safety good practice and HSE guidance, and are suitable for inspections, audits, toolbox checks and routine workplace monitoring.

Do I need an account to use the checklist templates?

You can build and preview a checklist without an account. To download the PDF you'll need a free account — it takes less than a minute, costs nothing, and also lets you save checklists to your dashboard and edit them later.

Can I add my company logo and branding to the checklist?

Yes — add your company logo, colours and details on Standard and Pro plans, so the exported checklist carries your own branding. Guests and Free downloads carry Health & Safety Zone branding.

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

The exported checklist is a blank, ready-to-use document: print it and tick Yes, No or N/A against each question and write any comments in the notes space, then sign and date it in the sign-off section.

What types of safety checklist can I create?

We are building specialist checklists across a wide range of subjects and industries — fire safety, workplace inspections, equipment and machinery checks, site inductions, vehicle checks, PPE, first aid and more. Browse by category to find the right one.

How often should safety checklists be completed?

It depends on the activity and your risk assessment — many checks are daily, weekly or monthly, while others are done before each task or shift. Completed, dated checklists provide a useful record of your monitoring.

Are the checklists a substitute for a risk assessment?

No. A checklist is a monitoring and inspection tool that complements your risk assessments and method statements — it helps confirm that controls are in place and working. Use them alongside your risk assessments.
