Childcare Safety
In childcare, safety isn’t just important—it’s essential. Parents trust that their children are in a safe and secure environment, and as a childcare organization, you therefore want to do everything in your power to optimize safety in childcare by minimizing risks and being well-prepared for any emergencies.
Whether it’s a fire, an evacuation, or another incident, every second counts in a crisis situation. It is therefore important that all daycare center staff know how to act quickly, in an organized manner, and safely. Having the right evacuation tools can make the difference between chaos and a controlled evacuation.
Child Care Safety Requirements
In childcare, the safety and well-being of children must always come first. Every childcare facility in the Netherlands must also meet strict safety requirements. A link to these requirements can be found below. They cover aspects related to the physical environment as well as the pedagogical practices of the staff. This includes child-friendly and safe play areas, good hygiene, as well as the “four-eyes principle” and other matters. All requirements are outlined in the Child Care Innovation and Quality Act, which is designed to ensure safety in child care. In addition, the 2012 Building Code requires that every childcare facility be equipped with, among other things, smoke detectors and fire extinguishers.
By adhering to childcare safety requirements, children are better protected against risks such as fire, electrocution, as well as fingers getting caught in doors, sharp corners, or open windows. The health and safety policy must comply with a number of legal requirements. Despite these measures, hazards such as fire or flooding can never be 100% prevented, and children must be safely evacuated in such cases. The Baby-Mover® is therefore the ideal solution for further ensuring safety within childcare facilities. Want to work with Baby-Mover to improve fire safety in childcare facilities? Contact us!

When an emergency occurs at a daycare center—such as a fire breaking out—a clear evacuation plan must be in place to ensure safety. After all, adult assistance is vital for children in such situations. Ensure your daycare center’s safety is in order by having the right plan and the right evacuation tools in place. Make sure you have the evacuation apron—also known as a rescue apron —from Baby-Mover B.V. on hand, so that even the youngest children can be brought to safety efficiently and safely.
Childcare Center Evacuation
There are all kinds of evacuation plans available that can enhance the safety of your childcare facility. For example, you can visit the fire department’s website online to find all kinds of tips and checklists to help improve safety at your childcare center. Make sure you have a clear evacuation plan to ensure safety at the childcare center. After all, with a well-organized evacuation plan, everyone knows exactly what to do and when. Provide a clear overview of where emergency equipment is located so that the evacuation of children can proceed as efficiently as possible.
The Baby-Mover® evacuation apron contributes to safety in childcare settings, as it allows one person to transport three children at the same time. No additional support is needed for the apron, so the person wearing it has their hands free to call emergency services, hold onto the banister, or take other children by the hand. Since you pull our apron over your head like a T-shirt, it’s easy to put on. Watch our video on the homepage for a demonstration and preview. Ensure your own safety and that of others at the daycare center with the Baby-Mover® evacuation apron!
Childcare Safety: Baby-Mover®
Using an evacuation apron in an emergency significantly increases the safety of your childcare facility. Evacuate children quickly and safely with our Baby-Mover® apron. The apron features three pockets, each capable of carrying nine kilograms. The aprons are reinforced with sturdy seams, so no additional support is needed from the wearer. In addition, the apron is made of a sturdy, flame-retardant fabric and has been tested multiple times in laboratories for safety and effectiveness. While the wearer is evacuating children using the apron, he or she remains free to take action.
This also contributes to safety in childcare settings: after all, multiple steps of the evacuation plan can be carried out simultaneously, allowing the evacuation to proceed more quickly. For example, the emergency number can be dialed in the meantime, the stair railing can be held onto, or other children can be taken by the hand. Our apron therefore contributes to the safety of your childcare facility! Make sure you have the right evacuation tools on hand in case of an emergency caused by fire or flooding, so you can get children out of harm’s way as quickly as possible.
