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
