Turn the question around and you will see the answer clearly:
If you didn't pick up toys, think about how you set up a room - perhaps blocking off fire exits etc, if you didn't wash your hands after visiting the toilet, before you prepared food, if you chopped raw meat up on a board then placed cooked ham on it...
If you didn't unlock your fire doors, if you didn't have procedures set in place to make sure you didn't 'lose' children when they arrived in the morning, if you didn't think it was important to have an adult/child ratio and had an adult to 12 under threes? if you decided to take 26 children for a walk with two of you?
If a child was sick and you didn't arrange for them to go home or arrived with 'fresh' chicken pox and you weren't worried as you'd had it...
You notice that the swing/climbing frame is broken but you leave it unchecked because it doesn't look too bad...
Your answer is the opposite of all this. Look at your policies and procedures to see what's been established at your setting to see how you provide a safe environment and read up on what you are expected to do/follow at your setting.
