Playdays Pre-School

☀️ Heatwave weather update ☀️

We are getting daily guidance from the government regarding safe working with young children. We will ensure that we take extra precautions to keep children safe, including regular drinks, shaded play areas and quieter activities during the hottest parts of the day.

Please ensure you provide:

Ice packs in their lunch boxes 🍎

A sun hat 👒 🧢

Have sunscreen already applied before arrival

Spare summer clothes - (plenty due to extra water play! Even swim shorts/ suits if preferable for accessing water play!)

Signs of heat exhaustion or heatstroke can include:

• Excessive tiredness or lethargy
• Dizziness or headache
• Feeling sick or vomiting
• Hot, flushed skin
• Confusion or unusual behaviour
• High temperature

If your child shows any of these symptoms at home, please keep them cool, encourage fluids and seek medical advice if needed.

If you are planning to keep your child at home due to the heat, please let us know by phoning or emailing us ☀️

(Please note we are monitoring drink consumption during this heat wave)

Thank you for your support.

The Playdays team ☀️

🐻🌿 We’re going on a bear hunt… and we’re not scared! Today our little explorers are heading off on an exciting adventure inspired by the much-loved story, using their imagination as they swish through grass, splash through rivers and squelch through mud 🐾✨

The children have also been diving into our Ocean topic and have loved exploring all things under the sea! 🌊🐠🐚 Through play and storytelling, they have been learning about ocean animals and their habitats while developing their curiosity and imagination. It has been wonderful to see their excitement and enthusiasm as they discover the wonders of the ocean! 💙

The children have loved exploring ‘The Three Little Pigs’ story this week! 🐷🐷🐷 They have enjoyed retelling the story in different areas of the room, using their imagination, developing their language skills, and bringing the characters to life through play. It has been wonderful to see their creativity and enthusiasm shine! 🌟📚

The tiger who came to tea 🐅

We were delighted to welcome Rachel from Family Hubs to Playdays, where she spoke with our children about the importance of road safety.

The children listened so well, were wonderfully behaved throughout the session, and showed great interest in learning how to stay safe near roads.

It will be lovely to continue these conversations and hear what the children remember and learned from today's visit.

A big thank you to Rachel for taking the time to visit us and share such an important message with our preschoolers! 🚦🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

🐣 Don’t forget — we have 2 Easter hampers up for grabs in our raffle! All money raised will go towards resources for the children 🤍

If you haven’t got your ticket yet, there’s still time 🎟️
Winners will be drawn on Wednesday — good luck everyone! 🍀
