Fire safety in children's early years

Teaching very young children about fire safety can help keep them safe for the rest of their lives.

Our early years support complements many of the Early Years Foundation Stage early learning goals; introducing fire safety awareness and basic understanding of what to if there is a fire in a way that doesn’t make young children feel scared or vulnerable.

Early Years Foundation Stage Resource Box

Nurseries and pre-school groups can contact us to help raise awareness among the youngsters in their care of the risks and dangers of fire and how they can stay as safe as possible.

If we can’t visit the group, we can loan out a special resource box that can be used by EYFS/nursery staff to deliver a teaching session.

The box includes dressing-up kit and role play equipment, small world toys, stories, poems, pictures, jigsaws and games.
