What else do we do in the heat but lots of waterplay.💦🌞

Hi All
Following on from last Wednesdays email and having monitored the weather forecast up until now we have made the decision to close the nursery at 1.10 on both Monday and Tuesday this week.
Please ensure that you can be contacted at all times as we will monitor the temperature inside the hall throughout the session and if children and staff are struggling and the heat becomes unworkable we may contact you for an earlier collection.
We do not take this decision lightly but our prime concern is for children and staff safety and well being.
Please ensure that children come to nursery wearing sun cream and light weight clothing,with water bottles(which are topped up frequently throughout the session) and a hat.
If you decide not to bring your child in please let us know either via email or on the nursery number ( 07769 555013) by 9.15 tomorrow.
Thankyou for your continued support and we hope to resume as normal Wednesday!
