The Weather
These three weeks have been a little stranger than normal weatherwise and so we’ve adapted and prepared in the following ways.
All our team have been reminded of summer first aid, looking out for sun and heat stroke.
During generally warm/hot weather we have continued to remind children to drink fluids, each snack and meal time filling bottles and offering other choices. We have applied sun cream and worn hats. We’ve bought more paracels for the garden to create shade, and enjoyed water play responsibly.
When there has been an amber warning regarding heat we have covered the windows, reduced the time outside/visits to parks, had an hourly reminder to drink more and increased ventilation as much as possible. We’ve also had ‘quiet times’ with movies and tablets to break up the running about.
If there was to be another red warning we would offer parents the ability to cancel on the same day to reduce numbers and staff not required could stay home and complete some training.
If you’ve got any questions about MASKK’s extreme weather procedures please contact Craig.
Reminders for Parent/Carers
The majority of our sessions have been fully booked, with a waiting list. Please do let us know if your child will not be attending a session so the place can be offered to another child.
Please also let us know if you are running late to collect your child, the easiest way is to text us on 07784838169.
For children & young people attending our Playcare and SNIPS clubs please also remember the following:
- A packed lunch
- A re-usable water bottle (if possible)
- A change of clothes
- Short Breaks end at 3pm, Playcare ends at 3:30pm or 6pm
