Safety Checks: Welfare Requirements

Safety Checks
Task 1
Using the EYFS welfare requirements, create a checklist on a separate page that will allow you to ensure that the inside and outside environment, and all equipment and materials can be checked for safety.
Task 2
Using the welfare requirements, research and record below the minimum space requirements for:
Children under two – 3.5 m²,
Two-year-olds – 2.5 m²,
Children aged three to five years – 2.3 m².
What other guidance is there regarding space requirements?
Other guidance which is giving within my setting requirements is that places in my home such as:-
Kitchen,
Hallways,
Storage areas,
Utility rooms, etc
Do not count as a play area for the children unless there is enough …show more content…
If they do then they will need to be placed in the fridge immediately and used within 24 hours. This will make sure that it is kept cold to prevent any bacteria. Before preparing the formula milk I always clean all the work tops and wash my hands. The bottles, teats and brushes are all thoroughly cleaned and sterilised to prevent the risk of the child getting sick or diarrhoea. In my setting I would always make the formula milk up fresh for each feed and if any formula milk is left then I would always throw it away. This will also prevent the baby from becoming ill. If you are unable to make up formula milk fresh then you can use ready to use liquid formula or fill a hot flask with hot water (at least 70⁰C) and the formula can be made up when needed. When making formula milk I boil fresh water in the kettle, let it cool down for a while but for no more than half an hour. Once it is cooled I would put the boiled water in the bottle first and add the required amount of powder. When using the hot water this will kill any harmful bacteria in the powder before it is served to the baby. If the bottle then needs further cooling down I would put it under a cold running tap with the cap tightened until ready for feeding
