twinthinguk Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I hear on the radio that we are due a heat wave, peaking on Wednesday, do you have a set policy to protect children? I think ours will probably be to stay indoors after a set time of day...which is common sense, and I imagine it depends where you are in the country.

Fredbear Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 No set policy, but a huge folder of common sense. Too hot stay indoors and have plenty of water available. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueJ Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Lots of common sense, a pop up gazebo for added shade and the paddling pools are coming out this week :1b 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinthinguk Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 cool x we have gazebo's and paddling pools, I have already forewarned parents, we only have a set number of spare hats! its amazing how many blonde and red headed children do not have hats with them! x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narnia Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 we went to poundland and bought a dozen spare hats. We will have paddling pools and the pop up gazebo is always up, even for the barest hint of sunshine. We bought sun screen as well............but indoors over the hottest part of the day and our children will be getting 'watered' very half an hour. I can guarantee that almost none of our children will arrive with hats/cream/water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
