A very beautiful very vocal cat has paid us a visit at Little Dragons this morning. Seems well and okay in herself but if you're missing your cat she does appear to be a little scared.

Closure of Afterschool Club
We regret to inform you that, due to the extreme heat, we have made the difficult decision to close our afterschool club for Wednesday and Thursday. We would also ask that if you could collect earlier today, please do so, and you will be refunded for the sessions.

Our building tends to retain heat more than the outside environment, and with limited airflow, we prioritise the safety of both our children and staff.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, and a refund for the sessions will be credited to your family account. Thank you for your understanding.

We will be contacting all parents individually to confirm this.

⚠️Important - Hot Weather ⚠️
Good Morning, due to the hot weather and the health and safety risks it poses to children and staff, we would like to ask that if you are able to, to please keep your child at home during the amber warning for hot weather days (Today, Wednesday 24th and Thursday 25th). If you are able to facilitate this, please message us to let us know, and we will refund your consumable charges for the days missed.

We will not be fully closing for our day time children at this point, but we are constantly reviewing the situation, if anything changes we will let you know as soon as possible.

We appreciate your support during this time, and hope you can understand we want to do what is best for children and staff.

⚠️ Hot Weather Update – Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday ⚠️

Dear Parents and Carers,

As you will have seen, the forecast for tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday is currently showing temperatures reaching the high 30s. Whilst we will be taking every possible step to keep children comfortable, we would like to make families aware that our nursery building can become extremely warm during periods of hot weather and we do not have aircon.

At present the plan is to stay open, if this changes we will let you know as soon as we know

We will be implementing additional measures throughout the day, including:

💧 Lots of water breaks

🌳 Only using the garden when UV isn't high

🏃 Reducing strenuous physical activities

🧊 Providing cooling activities such as water and ice play

🌬 Using fans and increasing ventilation where possible

👒 Ensuring children wear appropriate clothing for the weather

Please ensure your child arrives with:

A named sun hat and sun cream applied if your child attends the morning sessions
Suitable lightweight clothing and changes of clothes for water play
Please monitor your child closely before attending nursery and keep them at home if they appear unwell.

Signs of heat exhaustion can include:

Excessive tiredness or unusual sleepiness
Headache
Dizziness
Feeling sick or being sick
Pale, clammy or sweaty skin
Fast breathing
Irritability or confusion
Heat exhaustion can develop into heatstroke if not treated quickly.

Heatstroke is a medical emergency. Signs can include:

A very high temperature
Hot skin that may be red and dry
Rapid breathing
Confusion or unusual behaviour
Loss of consciousness
🤒If your child becomes unwell during the day, or if we feel the temperature is affecting their ability to remain comfortable and safe within the setting, we may contact parents to discuss collection.

🥵If you feel uncomfortable bringing your child in to nursery due to the heat, we completely understand your decision. Please inform us via a Famly message or give us a call to let us know.

Thank you for your support and understanding as we work together to keep all children safe during the hot weather.
