Smoke detectors are fitted and are regularly tested and maintained. I have access to a mobile telephone and a fire blanket located in the kitchen. This would only be used if a fire were preventing escape from the building.
If a smoke detector sounds, or a fire is detected, the priority is to evacuate the children from the building.
I have a FIRE ESCAPE PLAN in place, and all children are all trained and we practice our fire drill regularly.
We would assemble at the front of the house, at a safe distance and check that everyone is accounted for. We will then notify the fire brigade.
In addition to this I have had the fire brigade come out and perform a fire safety check and give me advice on my home.
I also have a carbon monoxide detector which is regularly tested and maintained.
Parents or their emergency contacts would be called as soon as practical to arrange collection of the children and if necessary we would take refuge in a close by family or friend’s home until collection is possible.
