Guest Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 we're having waterplay days 2 days a week at the moment - paddling pools, water pistols, baby baths, bubbles, boats - all the children (and staff)come to preschool in swimming costumes and bring towels and change of clothes. We are having a ball and keeping cool in the process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19920 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 well the weather has changed so much cooler and a drop of rain so you might not have to think of any more ideas which is a shame - only just broken up for the holidays too :0( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 We're still bathed in sunshine so more waterplay days planned for tomorrow and friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19920 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 the few drops of rain have passed and the sun is out in force so it would be waterplay for us if we were still open. what about some drain pipes and guttering - we did that - was fun as children often didn't join together properly with water going everywhere lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_7120 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 We've just been sent some information about 'heat wave safety' from our county.....now it's 10 degrees cooler and we're closed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_39602 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 broke up now but put paddling pool in sand pit and created a beach - children brought in costumes and towels, ice lollys for snack and only spent morning outside and in hall where it was cooler during hottest part of day , also relaxed staff uniform rules - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Thanks all, yes much cooler today. we also sent out heatwave info lol!! We did water play, paddling pools, ice lollies etc, biggest problem we have (i'm going to sound awful here) we have a purpose built nursery where the windows won't open far due to child safety, they have soft matting on the floor which is black temps the other day on the floor were 50 degrees - must have been designed by a man with no experience in childcare lol! so we have a couple of fans- but it is much nicer today :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
