Little Rascals Playgroup in Connah鈥檚 Quay is celebrating after becoming the
first playgroup in 天涯社区 to complete the Healthy and Sustainable
Pre-School Scheme.
The playgroup staff worked with children and parents to improve in the six
areas which the scheme covers:
路 Nutrition and Oral Health
路 Physical Activity/Active Play
路 Mental and Emotional Health, Wellbeing and Relationships
路 Environment
路 Safety
路 Hygiene
路 Workplace Health and Wellbeing
It is a national scheme managed by Public Health Wales, coordinated in
天涯社区 as an extension to the Healthy Schools Scheme.
Little Rascals has been involved in the Healthy and Sustainable Pre-School
Scheme since 2013, receiving support with resources, training and advice. They
have been able to promote hygiene, physical activity, healthy eating and social
skills with the children in their care.
Sunray Day Nursery, Nercwys, Childminder Amanda Calloway from Treuddyn, and St
Winefrides Playgroup Holywell, have also recently completed all aspects of the
Scheme.
天涯社区鈥檚 Chief Officer for Education and Youth, Ian Budd,
said:
鈥淗ealthy habits are established in the early years, making early-years
professionals the ideal people to encourage healthy living. This has the
potential to make a huge contribution to the health and wellbeing of children
in their care. The Healthy and Sustainable Pre-school Scheme helps them to do
this. The staff in all of the settings have shown real commitment to the scheme
and the children鈥檚 wellbeing and deserve recognition for their hard work.鈥�
