Please remember to apply sun cream, before bringing your child to nursery. Always read the instruction on your sun cream bottle, as some sun creams need to be absorbed into the skin a required length of time, before they are effective.  It’s important to cover exposed parts of your child’s skin with sun cream, even on cloudy or overcast days.

For some useful information regarding protecting your child’s skin during sun exposure, including a short, informative video on how to apply sun cream. Please click on this useful link: Child Safety In The Sun

During wraparound we offer many opportunities centering the needs of the children.  Providing children opportunities to rest, play and learn together. At present, we have been talking and learning about Spring. We have recently created, Spring flowers, using hand prints and collage materials. Moving forward and taking lead from the children, we will be learning more about Easter. Recently we have been on local walks and enjoyed the local park. As the lighter evenings and warmer air develops, we will be taking advantage and spend longer periods of play outdoors.  We aim to carry out lots of woodland walks too!
