At Wellies Day Nursery, the safety and wellbeing of every child is at the centre of our care. Children’s Safety Week offers an important moment to reflect on how we protect children in our everyday routines, and one area that deserves particular attention is safer sleep. 

 

Sleep plays a vital role in a child’s growth and development. It supports brain development, emotional regulation, and physical health. However, for babies and young children, sleep must always be approached with careful thought and consistent practice. National guidance highlights that safe sleep routines can significantly reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, making it essential that early years settings follow clear and up to date advice.
