• Toothbrushing Audit

  Fri 06 Mar 2020

  Well done to Mrs Stamp and our Early Years staff. We received excellent feedback following a ‘toothbrushing programme’ audit recently, and we would like to share this with our parents!

  “I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff at Marland Hill for making me feel so welcome and for all their hard work and commitment in implementing the programme. It was evident to see that it is carried out in a very professional manner to the highest standard, with excellent cross infection procedures in place. All the children appeared to be very happy and engaged in their daily brushing, they were encouraged to brush independently and the use of the song on You Tube encouraged them to brush for the correct amount of time. It was wonderful to see how easy the whole process was for everyone involved”.
