An Important Health and Safety Matter 17.11.25



A national recall has been issued for some brands of kinetic sand and we have identified this product in our kindergarten. As a precaution under advice from the Ministry of Education we have been instructed to close the kindergarten as soon as possible, to undertake testing.

As a consequence, the kindergarten will be CLOSED until further notice. Please come and collect your children as soon as possible.

The MOE advise that people are not required to take any immediate steps to manage their health if they, or their children, have been exposed to this product, however you can contact Healthline if concerned 0800 611 116.

We will keep you updated as soon as we have further information, and we thank you for your understanding and support as we work through this unexpected situation.
