Childhood illnesses & wellbeing
Childhood illnesses
At New Beginnings we value every child's health, and we do everything we can to prevent infection when children are at nursery.
Children are encouraged to wash their hands regularly and practice good hygiene, toys and equipment are regularly sterilised and cleaned by members of the team.
Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, some children will pick up illnesses, many of which are contagious even before they display symptoms. Because of this we enforce strict exclusion periods for children suffering from certain illnesses or symptoms to reduce risk of cross-infection within the nursery, both towards other children and our parents and employees.

HEALTH AND WELL BEING
Children's health and well being is of the upmost importance to us at New Beginnings. In 2019 we joined the healthy early years London programme which supports and recognises achievements in children's health and well being. We completed our awards and received the first steps, bronze, silver and gold accolades.
