Please be aware that the temperatures are due to rise this week again.
If your child struggles with heat please consider reducing their hours this week or keeping them home (especially Wednesday onwards)
If your child attends preschool but finds it difficult to cope with the heat we will contact you to collect your child.
Those children that attend this week will need suncream already applied prior to arriving at preschool.
Please don't forget drinks bottles and hats.
If your child does not drink water please consider providing some squash to ensure that your child's drinks bottle can be refilled with a drink they will like.
Please ensure that children have their shoulders covered and no sliders or flip-flops should be worn.
Thank you for your cooperation.
VERY IMPORTANT WEATHER UPDATE-
The MET office suggests that the temperature and UV levels are going to rise to up to 37 degrees during the upcoming week (correct at the time of writing this)
Children under 5 years of age are more at risk of heat-related illness, and children are more vulnerable to dehydration, heat exhaustion and sunburn.
Given this, and the well-being of our preschool children, families, and staff, please carefully consider your child's attendance at preschool this upcoming week, especially during the predicted hottest weather.
You may wish to reduce your child's attendance hours or keep them at home on the hottest days, especially if they are sensitive to warm weather or have any underlying health concerns.
We will continue to take precautions to keep the children who attend this week safe and comfortable. We will ensure regular drink breaks are taken, we will encourage water play, we will encourage the children to not run around, and we will encourage children to stay in shaded areas.
Due to the type of buildings we have, the temperature rises rapidly inside, which, even with fans, is difficult to maintain at a comfortable temperature. It is due to this and the health and safety associated with the high temperatures predicted for young children that we share this update.
Please be assured that we will closely monitor any child who attends, and if they appear to struggle due to the high temperatures, we may contact you to collect your child.
We would like to Thank you for your cooperation and support.
