Re: Fire drills and babies
I use upstairs for sleeping babies. I feel it's unfair on toddlers to have to keep it down cos there's a baby asleep in the lounge. OFSTED wouldn't register rooms if they didn't allow you to use them. I've just tried to be sensible when risk assessing the situation, like using a baby monitor to listen constantly as well as physically checking every 15 or 20 minutes; keep the stairs free from clutter; use stair gate at top of steps in case child wakes up; regularly check smoke detectors so there's an early warning system in place; have a working phone upstairs, that sort of thing.
I'm actually looking forward to my fire safety and risk assesment course because I want some solid advice about what to do if ever we, as a family, became trapped upstairs in case of fire. This would obviously impact my escape plan for mindees, too.
Why is "phonics" not spelled the way it sounds?
