Register a childminding service
The Chief Fire Officer Association on behalf of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has produced guidance on the fire precautions childminders should take.
It has been developed to ensure a consistent national approach to fire precautions in domestic childminding premises by Scottish Fire and Rescue Services.
We strongly recommend you read the following guidance thoroughly.
We expect all childminders to follow the fire safety procedures described in the guidance.
One of our inspectors will carry out a home visit as part of your registration and you will have the chance to discuss the guidance with us then.
You should complete the following documents and return them to the relevant organisation when you are ready to do so. As the checklist is a declaration that everything is in place you may wish to wait until later in the process to do this.
Fire safety checklist - This should be completed and sent your local fire authority.
Fire safety checklist confirmation - This acts as your confirmation to us that you have sent the checklist to the local fire authority. This should be completed and sent to us.
If you have any questions about the guidance, please contact your local Fire Safety Enforcement Office or alternatively:
