Dear Families,
If the children require insect repellent in school, we have Rid repellent that we can apply (for instance, during Forest School sessions). We only use the Rid which is suitable for children and have found this brand to be the most effective; however, this does contain a small amount of Deet.
Information about this repellent can be found here:

If you would prefer that your child does not use Rid, please contact your class teacher and send in an alternative repellent, which we will happily support your child in applying in school.
Best wishes,
The EYFS Team.
