At Nursery, we are proud to take part in the Supervised Toothbrushing Programme, helping children to develop healthy oral hygiene habits from an early age. Children who attend full-day sessions take part in the programme each day as part of their nursery routine. 

Each child is provided with their own labelled toothbrush and uses fluoride toothpaste to brush their teeth under the supervision of trained staff. Toothbrushes are stored hygienically and replaced regularly to ensure high standards of cleanliness.

The programme supports children in learning the importance of brushing their teeth correctly and helps to strengthen teeth and reduce the risk of tooth decay. Good oral health is essential for a child's overall wellbeing and can positively impact their ability to eat, sleep, speak, play and socialise with others. 

Please note that participation in the programme at nursery does not replace brushing at home. Children should continue to brush their teeth twice a day, including before bedtime, and attend regular dental check-ups.
