Testimonial

I would like to say a very big thank you for all your guidance, help and support during my time at Rathlee. I have learnt so much and really do not want to leave but I am a big girl now and will soon be going to big school. I have made a lot of lovely friends here and hope my new friends will be as nice as you all are.

 

All Weather Policy

Part of Rathlee Nursery early year's curriculum is to ensure all children have opportunities to access outdoor play throughout the whole year. In order to do this it is important to ensure your children have the appropriate clothing/protection.

The following guidance is to help you as parents understand our policy on outdoor play.

Spring/Summer

Children will not be allowed to access outdoor play in hot weather unless they have the appropriate protection.

  • Sun hats.
  • Clothing that covers sensitive areas i.e. neck shoulders & backs (no strappy tops please).
  • Sun cream - You must provide your own sun cream but this must be of an appropriate factor and quality. Factor 25 or above.

In very hot weather children will have limited access to outdoor play at peak times of the day; shaded areas will be provided to give further protection. Children will have free access to drinks at all times.

Autumn/Winter

During the winter months we would ensure the children have the opportunity to experience a range of weather i.e. snow, wind, ice, to do this we need to ensure that children have appropriate clothing.

Clothing: Hats / gloves / warm coats / wellies - please ensure that all clothing is named.

When the weather is very cold we would ensure that children are out for limited periods only.

Health & Safety

Staff will ensure that in the wet/icy weather the equipment in the outdoor area is appropriate and safe for children. Children will also be encouraged to participate in more physical activities.
