Choosing the right health and wellbeing course
These courses cover the daily care routines that shape a child’s health, and the harder moments when a child, or a colleague, needs more support.
Why this training matters
Several of these routines are EYFS duties. Since 2021 the EYFS has required providers to promote the good oral health of the children in their care. The revised EYFS in force from September 2025 requires providers to make sure children’s privacy is considered and respected during nappy changing and toileting, and makes safer eating an explicit requirement. The key person relationship and staff supervision are both statutory, and staff wellbeing matters too: tired, preoccupied adults are more likely to miss a change in a child.
Training your whole team
Every course in this category is included in the Training Portal for £5 per learner per month, so you can give cooks, key persons and managers the courses that fit their role. You can also buy individual places, with group rates from 3 learners.
Frequently asked questions
Which course helps us meet the EYFS oral health requirement?
Oral Health Promotion in Early Years. The EYFS requires you to promote children’s oral health but does not say how, and Ofsted may ask how you meet the duty, so the course helps you describe what you do and why.
Do our cooks need a food hygiene certificate?
Food handlers do not have to hold a food hygiene certificate, but food business operators must make sure they are supervised and trained in food hygiene in line with their work. Food Hygiene (Level 2) is written for nursery cooks and practitioners who serve food.
Are the courses online?
Yes. Every course in this category is online and self-paced, so learners can work through it on any device at a time that suits the rota.
Do learners get a certificate?
Yes. Learners receive a certificate when they pass the end-of-course assessment, and they can resit the assessment as many times as they need.
