GDC’s nursery is closed on Monday due- reason being the heat. They will be open on Tuesday til 12 (instead of 3).
This was emailed to parents on Friday.
My AIBU is - the nursery is in a hall (trees all around and in a park so outside space and shady outside areas if needed. So why does it need to close!

That is totally ridiculous. They just need guidelines in place to keep the children. Cool.

That's awful. I get its going to be warm but come on. I'd be furious if I had to take a day/2 days off work because my nursery closed because it was a bit warm. They do realise these children will still be in the heat anyway...just at home 🤣 smacks more of a "the staff want a day off to enjoy the weather".
I assume they at least won't charge for the day/offer an alternative day in the week if not attending 5 days?

This should have been optional rather than just outright closed.
They do have to think of the staff too but all those other kids will be in school all day.

How strange! Never heard of this and there isn’t an upper heat limit for employees in the UK (there is a lower one though). I’d suggest they need to learn to cope with the heat better, and bring in aircon.
