Brushing teeth twice a day is the recommended government guidance and starting early will enable children to become familiar with brushing teeth as part of their normal routine.
Wolverhampton Council are offering free toothbrushes and toothpaste, so please visit to get yours.

A great way to support oral health.

Thanks to funding from the NHS, the council is able to provide thousands of toothbrushes and toothpaste for families and vulnerable adults across the city, visit one of the eight locations to collect these essential items for FREE!

I am delighted to say that I am breastfeeding peer support volunteer.
After completing my peer support training with the New Cross Hospital Infant Feeding Team, I am excited to be able to help mothers with their breastfeeding journey, or provide support and information for expecting mothers.

Keep a look out for more information as we try to host a breastfeeding support group along with a stay and play session here at Brambles Day Nursery

One of the biggest worries of breastfeeding mothers returning to work is how they will continue to breastfeed their children 🤱

As a mother who has recently been through this herself, Jorja Yates, manager of a local nursery, contacted our Infant Feeding Team for specialist advice.

Being very passionate about her new role, Jorja can support her colleagues when they return to work. She said: “I have thoroughly enjoyed learning more about breastfeeding, and it has been great to be amongst like-minded women who are passionate and ensuring women feel comfortable and empowered whatever their choice.

“At our nursery, we want to ensure we are the heart of the community and are looking into holding our own breastfeeding support group and stay-and-play session for local parents and families,” says Jorja

Poppy Davies, Breastfeeding Peer Support Coordinator, said: “We are delighted to have helped Jorja become a Volunteer Breastfeeding Peer Supporter. Now she is trained, she can pass on this in-depth knowledge to her staff and families.”

If you are an employer and want to know how you can support your staff or would like support with breastfeeding yourself, head over to our dedicated webpage for advice ▶️ bit.ly/3Oeo4ND

Happy Birthday to the NHS! 🎉
Our children have made some cards and cakes to celebrate the NHS which we will pass on to our parents and friends of the nursery to share with the hospitals and ambulance service. 💚

This week in the baby room , we enjoyed singing the rhyme,I'm a little bumblebee. We created a yellow and black bumblebee themed tuff tray to explore. The children really enjoyed feeling the textures of the oats on their hands and making marks using their fingers. We also worked to develop their next steps of transferring objects from one container to another.
Well done, babies!

To all the world’s greatest Dads, Men and Women that stepped up to the role of fatherhood, 💙Happy Father’s Day.💙

Today in the baby room, the children have had so much fun. We have enjoyed exploring a brown and green dinosaur themed tuff tray. Then we enjoyed baking some dinosaur foot print cookies, and we enjoyed some water play.
Well done, babies.

A big well done to our wonderful baby staff, too! ❤️

Our 2-4 year old children focus on a book each week to add new provocations in to the continuous provision, support communication and language and encourage the children to become enthusiastic about their learning based on a topic of interest. This week for half-term, our Caterpillars and Busy Bees have been joined together. They have been supporting each other as they make Gruffalo Crumble, go on a Gruffalo Hunt and much more!

We love this!
It definitely links to our approach perfectly 🥰

What better way to enjoy the 🌞.
Our Hedgehogs loved splashing around this morning.

Today in the Tuff tray, we made some frozen dinosaur eggs and used different objects to see how long it took us to free the dinosaurs. The children were able to speak about the texture of the ice and use language such as big and small. They enjoyed exploring the water once the ice had melted.

Well done, Caterpillars 🐛
