đź’‰ MMRV is now part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination programme, replacing the MMR vaccine.

Vaccination is the best way to reduce the risk of serious illness and protect children as they grow.

It’s also important that vaccines are given on time for the best protection.

We will be in touch when your child is due, but if they have missed a vaccine, please contact us to catch up.

Absolutely!

Pancake Day has crĂŞped up on us again!

But pancakes aren’t usually the issue when it comes to tossing away healthy eating habits… more often it’s the toppings👀

For those of us without any dietary conditions, a few simple swaps can keep your pancake stack delicious and healthy. And remember — everything in moderation. Enjoying a treat now and then is fine as part of a balanced diet.

✨ Go fruity – Fresh berries (especially raspberries) add fibre and vitamin C.
✨ Keep the sugar small – Syrups and spreads are tasty but best used lightly.
✨ Nut butters = good fats – Look for ones close to 100% nuts with no added sugar or oils.
✨ Try dark chocolate – Strong flavour means you won’t need much!
✨ Greek yoghurt – Great for calcium and protein.
✨ Savoury options – Spinach, mushrooms or tomatoes make brilliant fillings too.

Oesophageal Cancer Awareness Month is a time to raise awareness of risk factors, symptoms and the importance of looking after your long-term health.

A family history of cancer, smoking, va**ng, poor diet and long-term acid reflux can all increase risk. Making positive lifestyle changes, such as stopping smoking or va**ng, can help reduce the risk of many cancers and improve overall health.

Children’s Mental Health Week is a great opportunity to think about how we can support children’s wellbeing in everyday life. 🧠💙📱✨

Creating healthy habits around screen time and internet use, having open conversations about what children see online, and knowing where to find support can all make a positive difference.

For families waiting for neurodiversity or mental health assessments, trusted guidance and early support can help while you’re on the journey. Small, consistent actions at home can help children feel safer, more confident and better supported.
