Guest Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Does anyone do an induction procedure for new parents about what to do in case of a fire. we are a private nursery and although we give parents a copy of our fire procedure it does not state what to do if you are dropping off or picking up a child during a fire drill, what do other settings do? do you explain to parents what to do and where the assembly point is? (as i wonder how many actually read the policies)
Guest Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I used to do fire drills at these times of day, but only once the children had learnt the drill. The children 'helped' their parents follow the procedure. Peggy
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 we have a parents fire drill on the noticeboard and explain / tell them it is there when they start this gives assembly points etc. Inge
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Our proceedure used to say that parents should follow staff instructions, we had 3 possible exit points and staff wold decide which exit was to be used at random, they should leave personal property behind, and lead the children quietly. Our fire drills were like Peggy's, we trained the children and then did them at arrivals and leaving times. The first time we did it with parents present the evacuation time doubled as parents stopped to put the childrens coats on because it was cold out! We also had a notice on the board with bullet points, when the alarm sounds...
