I just had to put this up in praise of the first aid staff at the Blue Planet aquarium in Ellesmere Port.
I managed to spill a cup of hot tea all over ds2 in the restaurant. I took his top off while my mum alerted the counter staff, who immediately gave her a bag of ice and called a first aider. The first aider arrived within a minute, but in the meantime I had realised that ds2 had also got tea on his legs, which left a big red sore patch on his thigh.
The First Aider was hotly followed by two other staff, who I think were security, and they took us straight to the kitchens and put ds2 into a sink with cold running water. Ds2 was understandably not happy, but the staff checked the scald and told me that they didn't think it was serious but to keep him under the water to reduce the heat. After a couple of minutes the redness had gone, and the staff brought towels to dry him off and gave him a big cup of sweets and a lolly to keep him busy while they did the paperwork.
He made a full recovery within 30 mins, but the staff were just fabulous as I was a bit shocked and was a wreck. I really can't thank them enough, and although I've written them a thank you letter I just thought I'd put this up here too in total and utter praise of the Blue Planet staff.
It may not be a cheap place to visit, but if you're at all accident prone then you'll be well looked after here!
I just can't believe I was stupid enough to leave my hot tea lying around without the lid on.
