Wellbeing
At Rand Farm Park Day Nursery & Pre-School, we believe wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do—for our children, families, and team. That’s why we are proud to have Holly E as our Wellbeing Ambassador, championing emotional development and mental health across our setting.
Holly’s role is all about asking “How?” at every turn:
How does this support a child’s emotional development?
How does it promote staff wellbeing?
How can we align with the best modern practices in early years education?
How can we build stronger connections with our families?
How do we embed a culture of positive mental health?

September
Keeping our bodies fuelled
As we step into the cooler months, our September wellbeing theme is all about keeping our bodies fuelled with the right things. We’ll be encouraging children to explore the benefits of eating colourful, nutritious foods and staying hydrated helping them understand how these healthy choices keep us energised, strong and ready to play.
Our younger children can enjoy a Hungry Caterpillar tasting table, inspired by the much-loved story. Just like the caterpillar, they’ll explore different foods, discovering which ones help our bodies grow and why too many sweet treats can sometimes lead to tummy aches!
For our older children, the idea of hydration will come to life through caring for a plant indoors. By watching how it perks up with water and sunlight, they’ll begin to make simple connections between the needs of the plant and their own. Learning that we too need water, sunlight and food to feel our very best!
Through these playful, hands-on experiences, we’re supporting children to make positive connections with healthy habits from an early age. Most importantly, we’re showing them that looking after ourselves can be exciting, enjoyable, and part of everyday life.
