Have you thought about holding a Beep Beep! day?

A Beep Beep! day is a fun, practical way to teach life-saving road safety lessons to children aged 5 and under, run by road safety charity, Brake.

All participating nurseries, playgroups and childminders wanting to take part receive a FREE information pack containing road safety resources including stickers, colour-in sheets, placards, posters and activity sheets.

To sign up and select a date that is convenient to you or just to find out more, please contact Sarah Howe at Brake, the national road safety charity, on 01484 530070/ 01484 559909 or [e-mail]

Could be a good day.

Isabelle's road awareness is diabolical so this could be a very helpful thing to take part in for her.

Think i'll enquire about it.

Has anyone done one of these days in the past?

Haven't done one but certainly sounds interesting - might give it a ring and see

I've called them - im still waiting on someone calling me back, they kept transferring me to different people and in the end just took my details as nobody really seemed very clued up.

So if I dont hear back today i'll call again tomorow

Haven't got round to it yet but would be interested to hear how you got on Lana before I do - let us know what happens

Had a call earlier.

It sounds good.

They give you all the resources you need and access to the website for extra help and resources. You have to decide on a date and then the wil send all the resources to you. You hold it yourself at a location somewhere with a decent open space (good size garden is fine) and make sure you have some ride on toys so that the children can learn about road safety while using these too. Im waiting for my email with more information. You can also do it as a sposored event which raises money for brake, which I agreed to do when I hold mine.

I just need to decide on a date now and get in touch with some childminders near me to generate some interest. I've got 3 that I can ask who I like and know so with their kids I estimated I'd hold it for about 12 children.

I'l let you know more when I do
