Risk Assessment Description:

This nursery daily room safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps early years practitioners and nursery managers ensure the daily environment is safe, clean and compliant with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Statutory Framework 2024. It provides a structured set of verifiable checks that can be completed each morning, during the day and at the end of the session.

The checklist covers key areas such as staff competence, room hygiene, equipment condition, fire safety, child‑height hazards and required staff‑to‑child ratios. Each question is answered with Yes, No or N/A, allowing any issue to be identified and corrected before children enter the room.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑dayroom checks – verify the room is ready before children arrive.
  • Mid‑day inspections – confirm ongoing safety during the day.
  • End‑of‑day wrap‑up – ensure the room is left safe for the next day.

Fully editable and shareable – customise the questions to your setting, download as a PDF and share with staff. The template can be adapted to meet the specific needs of any early years setting while retaining compliance with the statutory framework.

By completing the checklist each day you demonstrate adherence to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Statutory Framework 2024, support a safe learning environment and provide clear evidence for inspections. Keep the completed checklist on site for regulator review.

Compliant with: Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Statutory Framework 2024.

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?

No — guests can build and download a checklist for free without signing up. Register a free account if you want to save checklists to your dashboard and edit them later.

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

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.
