Supporting Manchester’s Early Years Healthy Eating, Healthy Smile Award
At WMB Childcare, we’re committed to the health and well-being of the children in our care. That’s why we’re excited to be working towards the Manchester Early Years Healthy Eating, Healthy Smile Award, a programme that promotes healthy eating and good oral health practices for young children.
Why It Matters
Healthy eating supports growth and development, while good oral care helps prevent dental problems in the future. These habits are crucial during early childhood, as they set the foundation for a lifetime of health. Through this award, we aim to integrate these important practices into our daily routines, teaching children about balanced diets, the value of brushing their teeth, and the importance of regular dentist visits.
Our Journey to the Award
We are dedicated to meeting the award’s standards by providing balanced meals, promoting water as the drink of choice, and reducing sugary snacks. We also offer engaging activities focused on oral hygiene and healthy eating, helping children form lasting, healthy habits. This journey is supported by strong partnerships with parents and carers and the oral health team, ensuring we create the best possible environment for every child’s well-being.
Looking Ahead
Earning the Manchester Early Years Healthy Eating, Healthy Smile Award will be a significant achievement, but more importantly, it reflects our continued commitment to the health and happiness of every child at WMB Childcare. We are excited to share our progress and to keep supporting the growth of healthy, happy children!
