diesel10 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Hi Everyone Hope everyone's been enjoying some nice weather. It is lovely to be able to be outside for the whole session, but we are having trouble managing sun hats. Most do bring them in now but most can't keep them on their heads. What do others do? Staff have suggested that we have playgroup hats that anyone can wear. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narnia Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 we have a supply of hats that we can give out when their own are forgotten.We wash them regularly and ( touch wood!), haven't had any problems with nits so far!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calicojo Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Children are asked to bring their own, but if they forget we have our own legionnaire type caps available. The children know they HAVE to wear a hat or they won't be able to play outside and they all accept this and are very good at policing each other and telling us when someone's hat has fallen off! We also set up all activities in shaded areas. Mind you, in this weather it's been too hot to go out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 We too have safari style caps. We just put these on all of the children even if they have brought their own as we just find it easier. And the same as calicojo-no hat you can't go outside! Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Do you make staff wear them too? We have sun hats for staff - can't have 'do as I say, not as I do' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 We do the same... no hat, no outside in this very hot weather. On the whole everyone is really good about it!! But as already said it has been so hot that the children have chosen indoors as the cooler option! We also have a selection of nursery hats to hand!

Guest Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 All the children in our setting supply their own hat which they leave with us but we do have spares for those who forget. All staff have to wear hats as well. Like others, our rule is no hat, no outside. Slightly off topic but I've got to have a moan about all the parents who send their children, especially girls, in tops which dont cover the shoulders and then dont bother to apply sun cream. We do put cream on as a top up during the day but I cant believe that so many parents just presume we'll do it and dont bother. Moan over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseketeer Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 we have a 'sun hat' box and as with wellies we ask that it stays in the box when its not on their heads.....and with us its also no hats no outdoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel10 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Hi Thanks for all your replys. It is the first year for a long time that it has been a problems as we had out trees cut back late last year. Before that we were lucky to see the sun. Only 2 weeks left now, so will muddle through but will buy a few spare and label them next year. Yes, it has been on my mind that staff should wear hats aswell!!!
