At Horden Nursery School in County Durham, the development of the whole child is seen as the basis of learning, so real effort is made to help children gain an awareness of healthy physical lifestyles.
Staff encourage children to adopt healthy lifestyles within the overall promotion of their personal development and well-being. The daily snack time supports this.
Headteacher Barbara Wilkin believes that excellent teamwork underpins a successful setting. The staff team ensure that children share healthy snacks daily and are also involved in making healthy snacks. Attention is paid to healthy foods and lifestyles throughout the curriculum, and good foods and keeping healthy are part of regular discussions. Children are also encouraged to know the benefits of drinking water.
