Herefordshire Healthy Tots Programme
About the Herefordshire Healthy Tots Programme
The Herefordshire Healthy Tots Programme provides a template for teaching, planning, tracking and monitoring the health and wellbeing of children and young people in early years settings.
The programme aims to help support and celebrate the good work in schools around the following three themes:
- Emotional health and wellbeing/lifestyle influence
- Physical activity
- Healthy food, drink and oral health
Accreditation scheme
The programme includes a free accreditation scheme where schools can be awarded 'Healthy Tots Status' after demonstrating that they can meet criteria set out in the above three themes.
A dedicated team from Herefordshire Council's Public Health Team will provide advice and support to teachers and professionals to help you achieve the award.
By working towards the award, education settings will be able to not only improve the health and wellbeing of children and their families, but will also be meeting a range of local and national priorities.
How to sign up
All Herefordshire education settings can now sign up to the new scheme.
Once you've registered you will be provided with access to our easy to use, interactive assessment tool 'the Wheel' that will support you to evidence your settings approach to health and wellbeing.
