Today has been spent refreshing ourselves on pediatric first aid. It covers everything including CPR, head injuries, choking, burns, anaphylaxis, use of defibrillator and more. We ensure every member of our staff is pediatric first aid trained rather than the legal requirement which is 1 member of staff for the whole setting.

We have had a busy few days at Playaway! On Friday we had our first Boogie Beats session with the lovely Naomi. This class combines music and dance with carefully structured learning. It helps to develop confidence, coordination and social skills whilst children learn to express themselves in a friendly and relaxed environment!

Today we had the Dentist come to look at the 3 year olds teeth. She did this in small groups, firstly explaining the importance of our teeth and getting the children to look at their teeth with their own mirror. The dentist cleaned their teeth and applied Flouride. She will return every 3-4 months to re-apply the flouride and to check other childrens teeth!

Large scale water play in our Pre-School suite. The children loved moving the tubes around the room to make it as big as possible, experimenting pouring water from different heights!
