See information from Healthy Suffolk regarding the recommended nursery room temperature........

Did you know that the recommended nursery room temperature for babies is 16°C to 20°C? A room that is too hot or too cold can increase risks during sleep. Using a room thermometer can help you monitor the temperature and keep your baby comfortable.

For safer sleep, always:

Place your baby on their back to sleep
Keep their sleep space clear of toys, pillows and loose bedding
Keep your baby smoke-free during pregnancy and after birth
Share a room with your baby for at least the first six months

⚠Some parents and carers may have recently received a free nursery room thermometer leaflet that contained incorrect information about the recommended nursery room temperature. These leaflets are no longer available. The correct nursery room temperature is between 16°C and 20°C.

SENDIASS have some useful information for children with special educational needs who are preparing to transition to High School........

Moving up to secondary school can be an anxious time for both children and parents.
