Nursery in the heat

Quick question to gauge other opinions,as dp and I had different reactions.
4 year old goes to a really lovely nursery who look after her well. We do the heat/suncream/water/ appropriate clothes, obviously. As the temperature is likely over 30 today,would you keep her off? There is a parent at home,but stuff to do,but would only be inconvenient rather than anything else,and obviously four year old comes first.
Any thoughts?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Ours has a trip to the zoo planned tomorrow for all the leavers starting school in September. I think it’s a lovely idea but I’m considering not sending DS as they’ll be outside all day and I’m not sure how realistically 4 grown ups can make sure 30 kids stay hydrated and too up sunscreen. Don’t know what to do!

Send him and let him have a nice day?

Nursery staff will have done this many times before.

Put loads of sun cream on in the morning and put a bottle of water in his bag.

Water. Hat. Suncream. Job done.

I would take your 4 year old to nursery.

For those saying keep them off and let them play in the paddling pool, not all have the luxury of a garden or outdoor space for their children. We live in a first floor flat with no outdoor space. My little one will be much better off in nursery been able to have fun with water play and being with her friends. I will be at work anyway albeit from home but it’s impossible to work with a toddler about.
