A practical reflection tool designed to help early years leaders review, monitor and strengthen safer sleep practice within their setting.
 
Creating a safe sleep environment is an essential part of safeguarding and promoting children's welfare. This resource supports leaders and practitioners in reflecting on current practice, identifying strengths and recognising any areas that may require further review.
 
The Safer Sleep Practice Review encourages meaningful discussion around sleep arrangements, staff knowledge, parental partnerships and leadership oversight, helping settings to maintain safe, consistent and child-centred practice.
 
Inside you'll find:
✔ Safe sleep environment checks
✔ Staff knowledge and practice review
✔ Parent partnership considerations
✔ Leadership and monitoring prompts
✔ Reflection questions and action planning opportunities
✔ Space to record strengths and next steps
 
Designed for Nursery Managers, Deputy Managers, DSLs, Room Leaders and Early Years Practitioners, this resource can be used as part of routine quality assurance, supervision discussions, safeguarding reviews and continuous improvement planning.
 
Rather than focusing on paperwork, this review supports settings to reflect on how safer sleep guidance is understood, implemented and embedded into everyday practice.
 
Because safe sleep is not just about following guidance. It's about creating a culture where every child is cared for safely, consistently and with confidence.
