thanks for that, i got a free home safety check last year from the fire brigade, they turned up one day when i only had baby with me at the time, others were not happy when they came home from school and i told them firemen were at the house.
Our local fire station has an open/fun day every year and thats when i gave them my name and address for a home visit.

I had one done last year. I asked another chlidminder to came round to help keep an eye on the children. The Fire Engine parked in my drive (Yes we are lucky we have a big drive, can park 6 cars or a fire engine in it

)

They opened up all the storage and got a hose out, let the children climb in. Would you believe one of the Fire Men was a Registered Childminder

We had a great time. The children keep asking if they are going to come back.

I had mine last year. A lovely fireman

came round and fitted new smoke alarms (free) aslo gave a lot of leaflets, useful for file.
Friend was here at the time and he took her address so he could give her a visit also. Apparantley the more they do the better it looks for their station

I got a phone call asking did I want an updated fire check as it had been 5yrs since the last one.

Fire engine arrived and 3 fireman came in testing the fire alarms loud bleeps and woke the children up as they arrived 8.30pm

BUT they were thrilled to see the fire engine and a load of waving firemen as they drove away

My youngest nearly 3yrs now points out the new fire alarms to everyone who comes in the house, shame I cannot put in an observation at how aware he is!!!!!!

Just to make you smile, my friend has one of these she was minding the twins she looks after. the fire enging pulled up the twins were really excited they did her visit when they left with siren and light flashing how cool is that she thought not every day that happens. Mum came and really excited she said to the twins WHO came today Twins really excited said SUE (i had poped round to see her how cool am I,

I am better than a fire enging with real fire men )at least she enjoyed the firemens visit .

Did any of you guys actually mention you were a childminder? They wouldn't come out and do one for me - as soon as I mentioned I was a childminder they said I wasn't a domestic premises and wouldn't do it

**brillminder** · 18-03-2009, 05:46 PM
