In Finland, kindergartens are exposing children to more mud, wild plants and moss - and finding changes to their health that show how crucial biodiversity is to wellbeing

It was a great pleasure to provide the first of many outdoor first aid CPD sessions for the team(s) at Kids Planet Day Nurseries in support of their Udeskole outdoor learning approach across all their nurseries.

Are you set up to text 999 in an emergency?

It's a simple process and well worth doing - imagine trying to call 999 Police to get MR if you're stuck in a storm and can't hear anything or there's hardly any signal.

There's a link on our website (see graphic for link) but here are the steps. Please to sort this now as you MUST REGISTER YOUR MOBILE NUMBER before you can use it.

1. Register your mobile - Text the word 'register' to 999.
You'll need to register again if you change your mobile number.
2. Read the message - You’ll get an automatic text reply. Please read it all.
3. Reply to the message - Read the message and then reply by texting ‘yes’.
4. Get a 'success' text - You'll then get a text telling you that your mobile is now registered - or if there's been a problem …

If you're not sure and need to check if you're registered - Text 'register' to 999 and you'll get a message telling you if it's registered or not. Don't text anything else - there's no need to make a test call.
