Am I a rubbish childminder?

At the drop in, a CM whispered to me - 'I'm breaking the rules - I've stuck bleach down the loo'

Are we not allowed to use it? I thought it was just not allowed in the presence of the kids for safety reasons.

I don't see why not!...Obviously when the children are there you would have flushed the toilet after squirting with bleach!

Why aren't you allowed to use bleach? I as a parent use it all the time. As long as it's out of reach of the children, what's the problem?

It's not like they'll be licking it off the inside of the bowl is it?

Is It!??

HappyDaddy, my DS loves the inside of the toilet bowl. He would deffo lick it if hi little neck was longer...

no, i don't think you are allowed to use it, i used to work at a pre school and we weren't allowed, though we had a fluid called "preschool cleaing fluid" which was strangely similar to bleach that we used after the children had gone home for the day...not sure why not allowed to use it though.

eleusis that's why they have fingers remember .. so they can lick their fingers

Well as an outstanding childminder I also use bleach - Loads of it

Keep it in a locked cupboard or in an area unaccessable by children & it's fine

No, fingers are for playing with his willy. Must be stretched you know.
