Fire Alarm Servicing for Childcare and Creche Premises
Childcare premises are closely regulated and record keeping matters. FirePulse provides the monitored fire alarm, servicing and the relevant servicing certification under one monthly contract, specified from a survey of the premises. Requirements that apply to your service are a matter for the relevant authority.
What makes a childcare premises different
Documentation is already central to running a childcare service, so fire alarm records that cannot be produced are conspicuous.
The premises is occupied by young children, so how an alarm is heard and how the setting responds is planned by the service rather than assumed by a supplier.
Rooms are used in distinct ways, from sleep rooms to play areas and a kitchen, which is why detection is specified from a survey.
Areas the survey looks at
Play rooms
Occupied rooms where audibility is a survey consideration.
Sleep rooms
Quiet rooms used at set times of day.
Kitchen
A working area where detection type and placement matter.
Records
Servicing records and certification kept together and easy to produce.
Records and inspections
We do not state what a childcare service is required to do in relation to fire safety. Those requirements are set by the relevant authorities and depend on the service and premises.
What we can say is practical: know when the alarm was last serviced and where the certification is. If you cannot, have the system looked at.

Common questions
Does FirePulse meet childcare fire safety requirements?
FirePulse covers the monitored fire alarm, its servicing and the relevant servicing certification. Whether your service meets its fire safety requirements overall is a matter for the relevant authority, not something a supplier can state for you.
How is the system specified for a creche?
From a survey of the premises, room by room, rather than from a standard layout.
Will installation disrupt the setting?
Where the approved FirePulse installation applies, the work is completed in one working day, and we agree timing with you in advance.
What documentation do we receive?
The relevant FirePulse servicing certification, with the servicing records held by ADS Group. Ask us exactly what is issued before you sign anything.
