Childsmile Toothbrushing

The children have the opportunity to brush their teeth daily at nursery, supervised by a member of staff. Childsmile work with the nursery to ensure good oral health is promoted and maintained. We have regular visits from members of their team who deliver lovely informal chats with the children to emphasise the importance of toothbrushing.

This programme runs with the option to ‘opt out’ for those parent/carers who do not wish for their child to take part.

We work closely in partnership with Childsmile to ensure we support the children to brush their teeth, but also to promote and encourage healthy eating and drinking habits. We actively discourage juice from being brought into nursery as children have regular access throughout the day to milk and water. Please contact us if you have any questions about this.
