It’s National Picnic Week and what a perfect excuse to take your lunch outside.

In all the excitement, children may want to explore but it’s important to encourage them to sit down when eating to reduce the risk of choking.

Plus, don’t forget choking is silent, so be sure to watch them whilst they’re eating so you can react quickly if they get into trouble.

What’s your favourite picnic snack for your children? Let us know in the comments.

🐶💛 Child Safety Week: Staying Safe Around Dogs 💛🐶

Dogs can be loving family pets, but it’s important to teach little ones how to stay safe around them.
Here are some simple tips to help keep children safe:
✅ Never leave young children alone with a dog
✅ Teach gentle behaviour – no pulling tails, ears, or fur
✅ Avoid disturbing dogs while they’re eating, sleeping, or caring for puppies
✅ Show children how to approach calmly – let the dog sniff first
✅ Watch for warning signs like growling, stiff body, or backing away
🚨 Even the friendliest dog can react if they feel scared or uncomfortable.

🛁💙 Child Safety Week: Stay Safe at Bath Time 💙🛁
Bath time is a lovely way to bond with your baby – but it’s also a time when extra care is needed.
Here are some simple tips to keep your little one safe:
✅ Never leave your baby unattended – even for a second
✅ Check water temperature – aim for around 37°C (warm, not hot)
✅ Keep everything you need within reach before you start
✅ Use shallow water – a few centimetres is enough
✅ Support your baby at all times – they can’t sit up safely on their own
🚨 Remember: babies can drown in just a small amount of water, quickly and silently.
