Healthy Living 

A healthy, balanced diet and regular exercise is essential for young children's health and wellbeing.  We are committed to implementing within preschool and supporting our families to do this at home too. 
How we promote healthy living at preschool:
  • we provide a varied and nutritious mid session snack to all children
  • encourage children to drink milk or water
  • support families to provide healthy lunchboxes for children attending all day
  • introduce new foods from a variety of cultures
  • plan activities and experiences that encourage our children to be active, this includes yoga, healthy movers, music and movement, walks in the local area, sport sessions as well as regular access to our outside areas where children can climb, run, ride bikes and move freely
Keeping Active

The NHS recommends that pre-schoolers should spend at least 180 minutes (3 hours) a day doing a variety of physical activities spread throughout the day, including active and outdoor play.  The 180 minutes should include at least 60 minutes (1 hour) of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity.  Here are some links to pages with lots of ideas to keep all the family active:
