Nursery Staff, are you suncreaming this week?

[Justjoinedforthis]

It’s divided opinion at my work (if in doubt we put it on so are doing so). Just seeing what others are doing?
I wouldn’t have considered it in march, but checked the UV rating and it’s Medium, so now feeling sheepish!

I'm a childminder and no I wouldn't usually at this time of year. UV is also only 2 all day today. But obv if I was outside and it was so so hot I defo would.

UV level 3 and over at my DDs nursery, it's been 3 this week so had to get some for her bag

Thanks, sorry should have mentioned we are in London. That’s interesting they have a rule for UV 3 and over, I am going to pass that on to my manager.

My London nursery has asked us to bring sun cream in so assume they are going to.

I took some in with DD and DS this morning so we’ll see if they put it on when I pick them up but I burned a little yesterday whilst doing gardening so the UV is definitely strong enough

Our nursery has been as they try and keep the children outside for quite a bit of the time if the weather is good.

Nearly. We put it on at 4 and above. It was 3 today.

No, but I’m in the north west

My kids nursery have sun creamed then this week, personally I wouldn’t have my own kids. But maybe someone else’s

Yes because my husband works outside and got sunburned on Tuesday

I haven't done, but wish I did. My 4 year old DS came home with one sunburnt and blistered ear today!
I'll be putting sun cream on him in future and just let the teachers know.

I'm very fair skinned and sun creamed both me and my DC today - I'd definitely have burned without. It might not be necessary for all the DC, but it definitely has been for the fairer ones.

20 years ago, on the day I got together with dh, at the end of March, I was properly sunburnt. I’ve started putting my face cream with spf on again this week. I’ve been using a different moisturiser through the winter, but it’s been so sunny, I thought I needed to change back.

Yes, if parents have brought any. We don't provide it. We asked for suncreams at the beginning of last week - a few have brought them in, not many....
