Playground Safety Inspection Form for Child Care

Use this printable form to check the outdoor play area before children head outside. Staff can record the date, inspector, area, and weather, then check hazards, equipment condition, play surfaces, gates, weather, clothing, shade, water, and the supervision plan. The form also prompts teachers to note hazards and corrective actions and sign off only when the area is ready. Keep it on hand for daily pre-use inspections and repeat the check when conditions change or repairs are made.
