Healthy Schools Award

The Healthy Schools Award recognises schools that take a comprehensive approach to promoting health and well-being. By encouraging healthy eating, physical activity, and dental care, we’re creating a supportive environment that nurtures every child's health. Research shows that children who adopt healthy behaviours at an early age are more likely to carry them into adulthood, improving their long-term physical and mental health.

At Ashfield, we believe that fostering a healthy start in life is essential. By integrating healthy habits into our everyday routines, we help our children build a strong foundation for a happy, active, and healthy future.

 

At Ashfield, we are proud to have achieved the Healthy Schools Award, a recognition that highlights our commitment to fostering a healthy lifestyle for our children. Our approach focuses on promoting overall well-being, from healthy eating to physical activity and dental care.

Healthy Eating

We prioritise the importance of a balanced diet by offering a wide range of nutritious snacks that help fuel our children's growth and development. Teaching the importance of good nutrition from an early age sets the foundation for lifelong healthy habits.

Daily Exercise

Physical activity is a key part of our daily routine. Through fun, engaging exercises, we make movement enjoyable and ensure that our little ones develop strong, healthy bodies. By encouraging daily exercise, we help children develop motor skills, coordination, and a positive attitude toward staying active throughout their lives.

Dental Health

Good dental hygiene is vital for a healthy start in life. Once children enter our main nursery, they are each given their own toothbrush and take part in daily brushing routines. This daily practice helps to reinforce the importance of looking after their teeth and sets habits that can last a lifetime.
