As the weather is starting to get warmer, we are spending more time outside enjoying the sun! Our babies went for a walk to Victoria Park at the beginning of the month, with more trips planned over the coming weeks.

Toddlers have enjoyed sensory play, exploring all things messy. Shaving foam is always a hit, but mix this with paint and it becomes even more exciting. I wonder what else they can create.

Meanwhile, down in our Preschool rooms the children have loved exploring new experiences. Learning all about our fabulous NHS for International Nurses day.

Sun cream Reminder

We would just like to remind you that we are unable to supply nursery sun cream any longer. Each child must bring in their own labelled bottle into nursery to use whilst being here. Unfortunately, if your child does not have sun cream with them on a nursery day, we will not be able to take them outside as there is nothing to prevent them from burning. If you can please send in a bottle to keep with them here for everyday use, we are more than happy to keep it or we can make sure this gets sent home with your child each day.

You may have seen the photo above around the nursery. These sun creams contain almond oil, so we ask that they are not applied to your child before bringing them into nursery. As we are a nut free nursery this brand can also not be supplied for us to use on your child throughout the day. If you have any further questions around our sun cream policy, please send us an email or pop into the office and we would be happy to clarify anything further for you.

Our policy around sun cream states: Applying sun cream

· Children should be sent to nursery with at least factor 30 sun cream.

· Staff should apply sun cream before taking the children outside and then 30 minutes after taking the children outside, but only when they are out long enough to burn. E.g. do not need to re sun cream if you are coming inside after 45 minutes.

· If children are outside for longer than two hours then sun cream should be reapplied.

· This process should be repeated in the afternoon.

· Children should be in the shade when the sun is strongest between 11am-3pm between the months of March and October. If you cannot make sure children stay in the shade, then they should remain indoors.
