& Sunshine Clubs Closures

Procedures for closure due to snow.

We normally let the Primary School take the lead on whether we are open or not, however that isn’t always the case as our circumstances are slightly different;

We are in an outside classroom which has an impact on the building maintaining its temperature; we have two year olds on the premises which because of their age cannot regulate their temperature yet. And in addition we have staff that travel in from different areas of the county. If we do not have enough staff in to meet Ofsted regulations we are not legally allowed to open. So for these reasons we will have to close even if the Primary school was open.

If the preschool & clubs needs to close because of snow these are our procedures;

When children are on the premises, parents will be contacted by telephone, and if necessary, a bulletin will be put on SPIRE FM
Notices will be put up at the Preschool, and two senior members of staff will be on site to explain the circumstances.
At least two members of staff will remain on the premises until all the children have been collected.

In the event of the Preschool & Clubs being unable to open in the morning, i.e. severe weather conditions or breakdown of services; a bulletin will be put on SPIRE FM before 8.00am.

Plus a notice will be posted on our Facebook page and our website- stosmundspreschoolandsunshineclubs.co.uk

If possible notices will be put up at the preschool, and a text will be sent out to all parents by mobile telephone. If you are unsure please text Mobile - 07484087287

Koala Protectors

St Osmund’s Preschool have become Koala Protectors with a donation of £25. We will track our Koala Bear and receive updates from the Veterinary clinic on how he is doing.

It is so important that our children understand at an early age the responsibility they have in being ‘Good Stewards’ of our world.

Even without these fires, trees are being bulldozed and land cleared at an unprecedented rate. Koala populations have declined by a staggering 42% over 20 years alone and the koala is at serious risk of becoming extinct in both NSW and Queensland.
