A polite reminder to parents to apply sun cream before your child comes to nursery now the weather is getting warmer.
Please see the sunsmart policy below.
Thank You
SUNSMART POLICY
The Every Child Matters Framework
has a ‘be healthy’ outlook. This policy ensures the children attending St Mary’s
Nursery @ The Park are safeguarded from accidental injury caused by the sun.
At St Mary’s Nursery we want staff and children to enjoy the
sun safely. We will work with staff and parents to achieve this through:
Education –These
measures are currently in place:
- All
children will have a sunsmart activity time at the start of the summer
term.
- All
children will paint sunsmart pictures to re-enforce the sun protection
messages and a display will be created for parents.
- Parents
and guardians will be given information explaining what we are doing about
sun protection and how they can help at the beginning of the summer term.
- We
will review the sun protection policy on a yearly basis at staff meetings
to re-enforce the importance of this policy to staff.
Protection – this
is more of an ongoing process.
Shade
- Staff
will aim to provide outdoor activities under the shade of the canopies –
during the hours of 11.00am and 2.00pm on hot days.
- During
visits to the Park activities will be carried out under the shade of the
trees.
Clothing
- Parents
will be encouraged to provide sun hats and staff will actively encourage
children to wear their hat when playing outside from May each year.
- Notices
will be placed around the setting reminding parents to bring in a hat for
their child.
Sunscreen
- Parents
MUST protect their children against the sun by applying sun screen before
they attend their nursery session.
- Water
is available throughout the day outside and inside during summer months.
