WEATHER
Our holistic learning ethos is all about play outdoors in all weathers. There is no such thing as bad weather as the saying goes... We have plenty of shelters available, as well as a yurt and any that the children choose to build!

However, there are certain weather conditions that will affect the running of the group for safety reasons:

High winds can be dangerous in woodland because of the dangers of falling branches and damage to shelters. We monitor the forecast and our site closely. Our site is fairly sheltered from Southerly and Easterly winds. We may need to close if winds are

Gusting 39mph from North or West
Gusting 45 mph from any direction

Electrical storms

Snow and ice- Our site may also close if snow and ice make the roads too dangerous for travel.

The staff will stay informed of the weather conditions via the Met Office Web Site. We will always try to give 24 hours notice of closure, however we may need to cancel on the day if weather changes suddenly / overnight. We will inform parents by text and email. If cancellation we will reschedule the session, failing this we offer a refund.

POLICIES
We can explain and show you all our policies and many can be found on our website for parents to view, under ‘Policies’.
