Eating, teeth, toileting and home safety workshops

Toileting workshop: 

This is a 45-minute virtual workshop designed to support families throughout their child’s potty-training journey. Through this session, Early Years Practitioners will provide information and guidance on: recognising and understanding the signs that your child may be ready to start potty training, when/how to start, building a toileting routine, potty training on the go, and many other useful tips and factors. Suitable for ages 18 months to 3 years.

Oral Health Workshop:

Virtual Oral Health Workshop for parents with children aged 0-5 years led by a Dental Nurse. The workshop will cover a number of areas to promote good oral health, including tooth brushing, preventing tooth decay and infection, diet and dental visits.  

Starting Solid Food Workshop:

An interactive workshop to provide information to help with understanding when and how to introduce solid foods to your baby. The Starting Solid Food Workshop, currently delivered virtually, is aimed at parents of babies aged 4-6 months. The workshop helps parents decide on a number of key questions, including: When is a baby ready to try solid food? What foods should they start with? When is a baby hungry, and when have they had enough? How can you make meal times an enjoyable experience for both parent & baby?

The workshops are run by early years practitioners and delivered virtually via Teams.  Parents are given useful web links where they can download resources, including Start4Life’s Introducing solid foods (Opens in new tab) and First Steps Nutrition’s Eating well: the first year (Opens in new tab)
