One of the things that our nursery families mention to us very regularly is ‘my child really won’t brush their teeth’ or ‘my child doesn’t like toothbrushing at all’ so we have been thinking about lots of different ways we can help you with this at nursery.

We do a number of activities across our seven settings related to promoting oral health and trying to encourage children and their families to make it a habit as part of their daily routine to brush their teeth twice a day but also to help educate our children and families about health eating and drinking and the impact this can have on a child’s growing teeth too.

Here are two visual aids we use at nursery for our families which we have found a help to promote daily brushing, twice a day for two minutes each time!
