There are many power points in the home, in nurseries, play gyms and schools. Obvious ones that spring to mind include the television, DVD player, CD player, musical instruments, toaster, vacuum cleaner, etc... In order to protect your little ones from harm we recommend plug socket covers when the items are not plugged in.
Toddlers and pre-school children in particular are naturally curious about holes in the wall and are unaware of the dangers these may pose. Placing their fingers in a socket may seem like a game to a young child but could lead to a risk of electrocution. As a parent you may have already decided to use plus socket covers in your home, but what about when your child goes to day care...?
Mums will be the first ones to notice the presence of such indispensable safety items on the walls as they take their first tour of a nursery or playgroup. Mums tend to have hawk eyes when it comes to the safety of their children. A facility showing respect for good standards of safety will thrive. Parents will share their positive views and opinions and a positive reputation will follow and ensure the future of this business.
In a nursery, practitioners will do a health and safety check on the premises. It is seen as good practice to involve children in this practice to educate them on the dangers around the setting. Children may be explained why covers are placed over plug sockets as part of a lesson and it would be seen by Ofsted as excellent practice.
Plug sockets covers are life saving items that nurseries cannot afford to dismiss as they provide peace of mind for practitioners and parents.
Children’s safety depends on adult’s good judgement and common sense. Adopting measures of good practice saves lives and educates younger generations on adopting safe habits. Everybody is a winner!
