    You dont have to write a new risk assessment every time you go to the same place, all you do is review it every so often date it and sign it and make changes to your risk assessment when they occur, such as in the park if a new piece of equipment is installed you would add that to your RA. Fire drills do once a month unless a new child starts then do one then. smoke alarms I check weekly, I dont have tick lists for daily checks I think its pointless and a waste of paper lol. I do visual checks before children arrive.
