As I collected DD from daycare yesterday (she's nearly 4), her keyworker mentioned that they'd been in the garden a lot and as it was hot they had taken the decision to put sun cream on the children. I signed to say this was fine and came home. I noticed later that she had a bit of a t-shirt suntan around her neck and tops of arms and thought nothing of it until this morning when I noticed her face and back of her neck were red raw. Her little face is still bright red and very sore.
I love her nursery and I've never had an issue in 3+ years. I know there are certain rules to follow when it comes to putting sun cream on children and I am grateful that they took it upon themselves to do it (used their common sense over protocol) BUT it was clearly too little too late. Part of me thinks on a day like that, they should have been kept inside. She had no hat in her bag and was only wearing a flimsy little sun dress (although it was cold when I dropped her off at 7:30am so she did have a light jacket).
I cannot let it go unnoticed and I will be reporting it next week when she's in, but wanted to see if anybody else has been in this situation and how it was handled by the nursery.
