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
workshop
was originally designed to be delivered to preschool children by our Community Health Development Workers within the Early Years Settings itself, lasting half an hour.
However due to the current Covid-19 situation and limits on physical interaction, our Community Health Development Workers now deliver the workshop digitally directly to Early Years Providers, enabling Providers to then run the workshop themselves for children within their own setting.
Each setting will also be provided with a set of resources and a toolkit for continuing to promote Healthy Heroes after the workshop.
Aim of the Hampshire Healthy Heroes workshop:
To share interactive and creative activities for children to understand each of these health outcomes:
