Would love to know some thoughts because I’m torn on it. Don’t want my little one put at risk in an unsafe environment but also why aren’t we better equipped within the nursery settings? We’ve had enough heatwaves in the UK now to know. Thoughts?

So mine have said they will swap it for a day in the 6 weeks holidays.

Ours isnt closing, they have air con in all of the rooms. It was absolute bliss when I dropped her off this morning.

Im so lucky our nursery has proper AC, hes safer there than at home and im so greatful
Oh that’s amazing for all the AC nurseries!! That’s how it should be 👏🏼👏🏼 and 100% of my LOs nursery had aircon I’d feel much more comfortable with sending them in

You’ll probably find the weather is classed as an act of god and therefore they’re more than welcome to close without any compensation. If it was something they could control I’d be pissed, but this is outside of that.
That being said my nursery has air con, but my son’s school doesn’t and is still open.

We have AC units in the nursery work in! When I left at 3pm with both aircon units
on it was still 34 degrees in our room!
15 babies, all crying, management saying “we don’t need to close or send home early, they are all fine” whilst we all feel sick and trying desperately to keep the babies cool and failing!

I haven't really looked for air con when I've went in but speaking about this, I think it's bull shit that teachers have training days, the kids can't come in if the snow has been bad or the weather is too hot. But as soon as we take our kids out of school (just as an example) we get threatened with fines... Like I know it's the governments fault but the schools are the ones implementing these rules and yeah I think it's stupid....
