Health & Hygiene

Preventing the Spread of Viruses

We use hand gel to clean the children’s hands on entry to nursery. We teach them to cough into their arm or a tissue.

What do we teach them?

  • How to wash their hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds – often singing a song as they do!
  • How to catch their sneeze or blow their nose into a tissue – “catch it, bin it, kill it!”
  • To keep their fingers out of their noses, and to wash their hands before eating
  • How to clean themselves after using the toilet, and to wash their hands after
  • To keep kisses for family members
