In advance of next week’s Amber weather warning, please be aware of our ‘Sun Safe policy’:
Sun Safe policy
Blue Windmill Nursery aims to protect all children in their care, during extreme heat we will endeavour to:
- Reduce vigorous physical activities and games
- Encourage children to play in shady areas of the garden
- Outdoor play will be restricted – remaining indoors between 10.45am-4.00pm
- Provide children with plenty of water to drink throughout the session
- Open windows to allow ventilation of playrooms
- Limit direct sunshine through windows where possible
- Make effective use of the air conditioning in the building
- Use the fixed oscillating fans to create movement of air
- Follow any specific advice given by local authority/government
We ask that parents/carers
- Ensure children have sun screen applied before they arrive at Nursery
- Provide sunscreen for staff to re-apply when necessary during the session
- Dress children in lightweight, loose clothing – preferably covering shoulders, arms and legs
- Provide a sun hat
