Had a look at our policy while at work today, its a sun protection policy
Statement of intent:
to help promote the children's awareness of 'safety in the sun' the staff will follow these guidelines:
1. Promote awareness through discussions, stories and activities on 'safety in the sun'
2. We will provide shaded areas in the garden, tents, gazebo's etc
3. All staff will wear sun hats in the garden.
4. All children will wear sunhats in the garden, there will be spare ones provided by the pre-school incase anyone does not have one.
5. Suitable clothing must be worn, shoulders should be covered.
6. Parents must apply suncream to the children before the start of the session, and sign a form to say they have (form kept in register). If parents have signed the form and the child gets burnt it is not the pre-schools responsibilty.
7. All parents must supply suncream from the spring half-term, in its original container, with written permission to staff to supervise children applying suncream.
8. Whenever possible children will be in the sun for no longer than 30 minutes at a time between the hours of 11am - 3pm when the sun is at its hottest.
9. Freshwater is always available.
Not sure if that will be any help but its what we use. FARLEYS
