We are a health promoting school. This means that on a daily basis the children are encouraged to try a range of healthy snacks and to have a drink of milk or water. The children help to  prepare the snack. Through this they learn some life skills such as the importance of hygiene. They also learn about numeracy and science in a real life setting. The children also have the opportunity to bake. We bake regularly for snack and preparation for special events such as the Christmas party.

The children clean their teeth daily after snack. We work closely with the Dental Support Worker who comes in and talks to the children about how to care for their teeth. As part of this programme the children learn what food and drink is good for their teeth and what is not.

Physical activity is available throughout the nursery both indoors and out. We have a range of physical equipment to try and encourage the most timid to take part and to challenge the more daring! Outdoor play is a very important part of our curriculum and is regularly available to the children.  The children can easily access our nursery garden  from the main play area. All children are encouraged to use the outside area as it is important for them to be as comfortable outside as they are inside. Fresh air is good for you!!!
