Risk assessment and fire test

[MISSYL20]

I've just started minding 2 weeks ago and I'm just wondering how often I need to review my risk assessment and how often I need to run a fire test with the one child I mind?

Thanks

Risk assessments need to be reviewed at the very least once a year but sooner is preferable.
Fire drill once a month maybe and when a new mindee starts.

You might find this Ofsted factsheet useful for risk assessment information -

Ofsted | Factsheet: childcare - Requirements for risk assessments (http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/resources/factsheet-childcare-requirements-for-risk-assessments)

I do monthly fire escape practices on busy days to involve as many children as possible :D
