The time has come to say goodbye! 9 years of Crocodoodle Creative Pre-School has been an absolute roller-coaster! Thank you to every single person who has been a part of our journey. We are truly grateful to have met so many fantastic people and learned so much 💚It’s still a pleasure to see some of our first (not so little any more) Crocs around and see the lovely young people they have become. We couldn’t have asked for a better last day 😢Thank you to all the wonderful parents who joined us in a morning of very big emotions!
With many thanks and very best wishes
Hollie, Maria, Zoe, Jenny, Vicky and Amy ######

What do whole grapes and mini eggs have in common? They’re both the perfect size and shape to completely block a child’s airway. And, due to their texture they can be difficult to dislodge with standard first aid techniques.

With whole grapes we advise cutting them in half lengthways and ideally into quarters to create thin strips. But chopping up mini eggs isn’t as easy. So, what can you do?

1. Hide them from the children and eat them yourself – good luck with that!
2. Put the mini eggs into a sealable plastic bag and smash them into small pieces with a rolling pin. Or, crush them in a pestle and mortar.
3. Opt for a different treat. Larger, hollow eggs are much safer for little ones.

Very important post, the same rule applies to cherry tomatoes, large blueberries etc

Tragically, two young children have died within days of each other after choking on food. One little boy choked on a grape.

The size and shape of whole grapes means they can block a child’s airway and can be difficult to dislodge with standard first aid techniques.

That’s why grapes and other round foods such as cherry tomatoes, blueberries and cherries should be chopped in half lengthways and ideally in quarters before being given to children.
