Hi
I am currently on the OFSTED training course to become a childminder and wanted to know if any other childminder has a copy of their exit plan in case of a fire they could send to me?
please?
my email address is [email protected]

Thank you
greta

How can you use someone else's fire exit plan? We all have different houses and exit routes, different amounts of children with varying ages, so totally different plans...

I actually don't see the problem - may just help with how to put it all together?!

Am sure many of us on here would be interested in an answer to 'that' exit plan - me included!!!

I was told I had to have a floor plan of my cm areas, showing where smoke detectors, fire blankets, stairgates etc were- forgot to put it in file and inspector never asked about it!! I bought a book off ebay to record fire drills in - inspector never looked at it!. Have a look on ebay for posters etc covering Fire Safety etc - I've bought loads of resources - other people do the work and we get to use them!!! . I also bought some resources of Kidpremierships's online store - posters and books - and they can be used with children of all ages.

HSMM - can you please email me too as after reading the thing about floor plan and alarms etc, I'm wondering if mine is good enough now?

you don't need to buy a book to record fire drills in!!! just jot down in a notebook when it was done, who was there, what happened, what the outcome was and do a little evaluation of the exercise.

My CM failed to get an outstanding and got a good in her inspection because her register wasn't up to scratch as far as the inspector was concerned (although I'd be far more worried if I thought she needed her list to know which kids she had on a given day!) So I think you need to make sure your paperwork is absolutely perfect.
