Mu 2.8 contribute tithe support of the positive environments for children and young people 3.1 explain how effectively care for childrens and young peoples skin hair and teeth. It's part of children's learning about self care and personal hygiene.

Nurseries and school should provide road safety lessons. This teaches them all about the road safety and that they have to be careful when crossing the road. James’ mother or father will take him and pick him up from school as he is only little and isn’t expected to travel to and from school by his self.

The staff also need to ensure that they are hygienic as well, this means washing their hands before handling any food. Pollution – This means that companies must maintain a low amount of pollution, this means getting there staff to walk to work or use public transport instead of using their cars.

If children do not like the first choice of food given to them they will have another nutrious alternative to enjoy.

Once a child had finished, they were permitted to play in the room, under instruction not to disturb those still eating. Throughout they were taught the importance of hygiene, starting by washing their hands before the meal and continuing by teaching them not to play with food or eat anything they dropped on the floor.
