What do sprouts and grapes have in common? They’re the perfect size and shape to completely block a child’s airway. And, they can be difficult to dislodge with standard first aid.

Chop them in half lengthways and ideally in quarters.

Sparklers, often seen as relatively harmless, can reach temperatures of 20 times the boiling point of water. Never give sparklers to children under the age of five and always have a bucket of water to put the hot ends in.

Flu can pose a serious threat to children. To get your child aged 2-3 vaccinated, parents will be contacted to offer an appointment when these are due. If you have any concerns, you can call your GP.

In some areas your child will receive their nasal spray in a nursery setting.

We recycle with the children every day at Little Explorers, whether it’s plastic, cardboard, paper, tin or left over food for the birds & ‘food bin.’ During recycling we had lots of great questions from the children. “Where do we recycle rusty old cars?” @MonHSPSS

Repost to share the reminder this #WorldSuicidePreventionDay 👇

Sometimes the hardest words to say are the most important. By having more open conversations, we give people the chance to express how they feel and get the support they need. It could even save a life. 💚
