Childproofing
Childproofing is taking practical measures to ensure that your home is safer for your baby or toddler. It does not take the place of responsible parenting but does help avoid unnecessary accidents.
Childalert offer this service in the home, at nurseries / crèches, playgroups as well as in hotels and leisure facilities.
Childalert have a network of specialists who will visit you and conduct a safety survey, inside and out, and identify the risks. Some adults have no idea how inquisitive a toddler can be - those looking after them need eyes at the back of their head. By six months a baby will want to touch and taste everything within reach and adults can be unaware of the dangers that lurk.
Either book your home survey direct with your local Childalert or buy the self help CDROM on how to avoid accidents in the home
CDROM : £12.99 with FREE membership to the www.childalert.co.uk website.
As well as being useful for parents with babies and toddlers the CDROM can be used in an educational fun way to help older children and adult groups understand home safety.
