Hi

Im due my first inspection tomorrow & have just realised that I dont have a fire blanket yet!!! :eek:

Is this a requirement or just good practice to have?

I wont get shut down or anything will I if I dont have one????

Thanks!

can you borrow one until you get one from anyone. ?

I would explain that you are going to buy one I am sure she will understand, well you hope. x

You can get them at B & Q - reserve and collect service available

at my pre-reg, the inspector saw I had a fire blanket, but said it wasn't good enough that I had one, it also had to be wall-mounted.
I seem to remember it being in the EYFS requirements.

Should they be renewed, had mine for about 7 years, can't see an expiry date on it?

i dont see the point in them as the fire brigade tate we should NEVER tackle a fire no matter how small, they even questioned why ofsted state it is a requirement :rolleyes:

I was told that I have to have one as a EYFS requirement and that it has to be wall mounted.

You need one in case a child (or adult) is set alight, to smother the flames.

I think you may get marked down if you do not have one. As the others have said try and borrow one or get down to B&Q:thumbsup:

You def need one my love.

Thanks for all your replies!

As we speak one is reserved at B&Q (with 20% off as well) & my partner is on his way to get it!! :)

Phew!!!

Hopefully thats the only thing I have forgotten.
