Healthy Life Styles

At Laxfield Pre-School we strive to promote healthy eating and an active life style.

Snacks and meals:

The children are provided a morning and afternoon snack during their time within pre-school. They are given choices of fruit and a carbohydrate. At meal times we talk about the foods we eat and how they can make our bodies feel.

The children are encouraged to help prepare their own snack and wash their own crockery.

Physical activities:

Every day the children are encouraged to move their bodies whether it is accessing outdoors or participating in a structured P.E session. Physical activities are essential to support the children’s healthy growth and development.

The children often walk around the village and visit the local park.

Oral hygiene

There is now a huge emphasis on promoting the importance of good oral hygiene with children. This is something we really work hard to do at Pre-school, involving this in our everyday practice as well as providing different resources to parents & carers to support this at home.
