Stay Safe In The Sun

STAY SAFE IN THE SUN

Without adequate protection, a child’s delicate skin can burn
within minutes, causing irreparable damage – Children are at risk of sunburn within 10-15 minutes of being exposed to strong sunlight.  This can significantly increase their risk of developing skin cancer in later life.
Isobel Mair Family Centre is an accredited  ‘Safe Sun Nursery’.   Please ensure your child has:

  • A sun hat that protects the head and shades the face, neck and ears
  • A sun cream (Sun Protection Factor of 30+)
  • Suitable clothing: T-Shirts covering shoulders, (preferably long sleeved cotton tops which can be kept in their spare clothes bag).
