St Nicholas and St Faith Preschool

Today the children were very excited to welcome our visitor for our music session. We went down to the jungle visiting the animals and had a swim in the river finishing with the animal bop.

Thank you to our lovely committee member who made this for our children. They had great fun practising throwing and developing their gross motor skills.

Tragically, a child dies in the UK every month from choking and hundreds more require hospital treatment. It can happen quickly and it can happen to anyone.

The Food Standards Agency have issued some useful resources in the form of two posters which can be displayed in your setting where food is prepared and served to children, as a helpful reminder of how to minimise the risk of choking.
