Hi All
Please see poster for the family fun day taking place over the summer.

☀️ As another school year comes to a close...

Whether today marks the start of a well-earned summer break, or you're continuing to support children and families throughout the holidays, we'd like to say thank you.

Thank you to everyone working across the early years sector for the care, dedication and difference you make every single day.

💚 If you're taking some time to recharge, we hope you have a restful and enjoyable summer.
🌻 If you're working in nurseries, holiday clubs, wraparound care or other early years settings over the coming weeks, we hope you have a happy, successful summer and find moments to look after yourself too.

Whatever your plans, thank you for everything you've done this year.

🫶We'll still be here throughout the holidays, sharing resources, updates and opportunities to connect with colleagues from across the early years sector.

👇 We'd love to hear what your summer looks like...
☀️ = I'm enjoying a summer break
💚 = I'll be supporting children and families throughout the summer

Have a wonderful summer from all of us at HEART! ☀️

We are delighted and incredibly proud to share that Bloomsbury Nursery has been awarded the Gold Award in recognition of our commitment to Trauma Informed, Attachment Aware Practice (TIAAS).
The principles of TIAAS underpin everything we are passionate about at Bloomsbury Nursery. They guide the strong relationships we build with our families, the secure and nurturing attachments we foster with our wonderful children, and our commitment to enabling and empowering every child to recognise, understand, and talk about their emotions.
Achieving this award reflects the dedication of our team to creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where every child feels valued, understood, and able to thrive. We are honoured to receive this recognition and remain committed to embedding these principles in all that we do.
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to our families and the many external agencies we work alongside. Your continued support, collaboration, and shared commitment to the wellbeing of our children have played an invaluable role in helping us achieve this award.
Congratulations to the whole Bloomsbury Nursery team on this fantastic achievement. 🌟

Extreme Weather Update;
There is currently an Amber Heat Warning in place, with
a Red Weather Warning in place for Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures are expected to reach 36- 37°C this week.
Early years children are highly vulnerable to extreme weather, because they cannot regulate their body temperature as efficiently as adults. The children’s safety, along with staff safety and wellbeing , will be our top priority.

At nursery school we will be;
💧 Offering regular drinks of water throughout the day to keep everyone well hydrated.
🏡 Adapting our routine by limiting outdoor play during the hottest parts of the day
❤️ Monitoring every child closely for any signs of overheating or discomfor
A little reminder for parents;
👕 Please send your child in lightweight, loose-fitting clothing.
🧢 Ensure they wear a sun hat every day.
🧴 Please apply sun cream before arriving and send a named bottle of sun cream so we can reapply it throughout the day

We will be monitoring the weather throughout each day to make decisions based on the latest conditions. Please continue to check emails and text messages for any updates.If you would prefer to collect your child at midday, or keep your child at home during extreme weather, we understand.

Thank you for your support – let’s all stay cool this week!
