Sun Cream

 

Please can all children bring a bottle of SPF 30 + sun cream into the Centre. The Centre will keep a stock of SPF 50+, 5 star UVA & UVB sun cream if required.

Sun cream will be stored in an easily accessible basket in the ECC corridor for Parent’s/ Carer’s to access as required.

As we look towards some (hopefully) very sunny weather can you ensure that your child has sun cream applied before coming into the Centre in the mornings. This will allow them direct access to outdoor play.

Staff will reapply sun cream after lunch time, before the children access outdoors again in the afternoon.

Please provide a sun hat for your child to wear as they play outdoors. To help on hot days, loose clothing and wide brimmed sun hats are best to help keep the children protected from the sun.

These hats can be placed in the group boxes which can now be found in Playroom 2.

Additionally, the children will be accessing outdoors lots, they will running climbing and jumping. Please provide your child with closed toed shoes such as trainers to help minimise tripping accidents.

Our sun protection policy can be found in the policy tab on this blog.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask your child’s Key Worker or Joanne.

Thank you for your continued support.

Winter Illnesses

 

We realise that there are lots of winter illnesses around at the moment.

It can be tricky at times knowing when to keep your child off from the ECC.

If your child is unwell and absent from the ECC, please call the main office on 01560 600403. There is also a function on the Safer Schools Scotland App to report an absence.

When informing us of your child’s absence we would really appreciate you giving a reason for their absence, e.g. a high temperature, sickness, an unsettled night or a planned holiday.

This allows us to monitor outbreaks of illness, complete more stringent cleaning processes to minimise the spread of infection and to monitor others if they are feeling unwell.

Thank you for your continued support.

Group Allocations 2023 – 2024

Your child will receive a letter with details of their Key Worker group for the new session starting in August.

Some children may remain the the same group, where others may move to a new group.

We are very lucky here in Fenwick ECC that all team members know all children very well and all children have built up very positive relationships with the staff team over their time in the ECC. These positive relationships make occasions such as staff training and absence an easy to manage transition.

If you have any worries or concerns about group allocations please speak to Joanne or call 01560 600403.

Thank you for your continued support.
