    Default Fridge and smoke detector checks

    Hi everyone again. I was just wondering how often do you record fridge temperature and also how often do you do smoke detector checks.
    Thanks for your help. Xx

    I follow the guidance in the booklet 'Safer Food Better Business for Childminders'.

    I check my fridge and freezer temps daily and record it if something goes wrong.
