14.01.2022 Its Dental Hygiene Week this week (3 9 August), so weve created some fun activities you can do with your toddlers to encourage them to brush their teeth on our Goodstart@Home website. These activities are easy to do and a great way to support the development and understanding of dental hygiene and teeth brushing techniques. This years Dental Hygiene Week theme is all about sugar and How much sugar is hiding is your trolley? Wed like to encourage families to be mindful... of hidden sugars in food. Making healthy choices at the supermarket extends to making similar smart food and drink choices at home. Early childhood tooth decay can affect your childs health and cause pain, making it hard for your child to sleep, eat or speak. It can also affect your childs ability to concentrate and learn. Children who develop dental decay at an early age are more likely to suffer from it throughout childhood.

12.01.2022 Grandparents' Day is this Sunday 25th October The bond between a child and their grandparents is such a special one. Celebrate these connections on Grandpare...nts’ Day with activities on Goodstart@Home. What more perfect a way could there be for children to enjoy and celebrate their relationships with their grandparents than embarking on a learning adventure with them? Perhaps they could use the Send a Hug activity card to become pen pals? In these times when it can be hard to connect in person, this is the perfect way to give children’s early literacy and understanding a boost, not to mention making each other’s day when they check the letterbox and find a life-sized cut out of a hug inside!

06.01.2022 How did you go on the first day of school? My baby Alfie started this week tears, nervous rashes, sleepless nights, anxiety through the roof and that was jus...t me not being able to let go! He was absolutely fine! Like a lot of modern day fambams, my husband and I both have our own businesses and have negotiated our way through juggling being parents and working same time. So, from early on our babies both went to Goodstart Early Learning for two days a week. I really feel like this gave my kids the confidence to communicate with people of all ages and to walk into a group of kids theyve never met, and very quickly, find their place.
