𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁. Good mates. Good chats. Better wellbeing. Life gets busy with work, family and the school run, so staying in touch slips. This week, reconnect—text a friend, call family, or plan a catch-up. A simple chat can make a big difference

Recently, the Best Start in Life play and learn sessions have been focusing on woodland animals 🦊🐭🐿️and insects 🪱🐞🐜.
Tomorrow we will be moving on to sea creatures 🐠🐳🐧
There will also be an optional Father's Day card making activity.

Build Healthy Bedtime Routines 🌙

It’s the final week of Smile Month - and we’re focusing on bedtime routines.

Brushing before bed is especially important because teeth are more at risk overnight.
✔️ Brush last thing at night and one other time each day
✔️ Avoid snacks and sugary drinks after brushing
✔️ Make brushing fun- songs, timers, or brushing together can help! Brush DJ

💡 Top tip: Spit, don’t rinse to protect those teeth overnight.

What helps your child stick to their bedtime routine?
