As you may be aware, the UKHSA Red Heat Health Alert has been extended to include Friday. Therefore, we have taken the decision to close our nursery early on Friday 26th June. This decision has been taken in the interest of the health and wellbeing of all children, staff and visitors.
On Friday, Cashmore Early Years Centre will open at 9.00am and close at 12.00 noon (the gate will open at 11.50am). Children will not have lunch during this session. If your child normally attends nursery on Friday mornings, they can join us for this morning session. You can collect your child earlier to avoid travelling in the hotter midday weather, if you choose. Please make sure your child has a sunhat and sun cream.
Unfortunately, we are unable to safely stay open in the afternoon on Friday. We appreciate your continued understanding. We expect to reopen as normal on Monday 29th June.
Children under 5 years of age are particularly vulnerable to heat-related illness. To keep your child safe in this hot weather, please follow the NHS advice here:

Yours faithfully
