Hampshire Healthy Heroes
Are you a Registered Early Years Provider in Hampshire?
Would you like to join us on a journey to help your children aged 3+ become Healthy Heroes?
Hampshire Healthy Heroes works with Early Years Settings supporting healthy starts for young children and increasing Emotional, Physical and Oral Health outcomes. Educating children in a fun and interactive way, so they understand the importance of self-care and have the knowledge to implement healthy habits with the support of their parents, carers and Early Years providers.
Our Hampshire Healthy Heroes worskhop is designed to be delivered to Pre-School children by our Community Health Developement Workers within the Early Years Setting itself, lasting about half an hour.
Alternatively the Early Years Setting can choose to have the workshop delivered to their team of staff as a digital workshop.
Each setting will also be provided with a set of resources and a toolkit for continuing to promote Healthy Heroes after the workshop.
