If you’re travelling in a car, a second adult should travel in the back with your baby whenever possible. When you’re the only adult in the car, use a mirror to keep an eye on them instead.
-
If your baby slumps forward, carefully stop the car, take them out of their car seat and sit them upright before carrying on.

Just a few of the many activities we explored last term 😊🎨🪴🌷
There will be many more activities to explore next term 😊🤗

See you all soon ⏰⏳⏱️

It’s that time of year again when mini eggs are lining the supermarket shelves. But, did you know that they are the perfect size to block a small child’s airway and choke them? And, their hard shell can make it difficult to dislodge with standard first aid techniques.

That’s why they aren’t recommended for children under 4.

So, when you’re stocking up for the Easter Bunny please stay safe and choose another treat for your little one.

Visit our choking hub to learn more about common choking hazards and what you should do in an emergency: https://capt.org.uk/choking-prevention/

Children can wear pyjamas at nursery tomorrow, if the want to. (No onesies/all in ones please)

They can also bring in a favourite story book to share.

We will be doing activities involving stories and characters. 📖📕🧸🐷🐐🏴‍☠️
