Hi Hetalpatel, next time you should try to answer the questions first, when people see that you make effort to answer, they will help.

Question 1: store out of children's reach, in adult's reach, in locked cabinet but still easy to access by educators, label clearly, follow the service's policies and procedures for storing poisonous products and medications.

Medications: in my service, we store them in fridge.

Question 2: You should check: broken parts, loose parts, conditions, suitability of the toys and equipment ( should be suitable for the child's age, ability)

Cheers.
