In a recent study, 70% of obese children grow up to have adult obese issues and the process of educating people to make healthy eating choices starts at a very early age and at Fitzsimmons Place Nursery we take very special care in producing menu�s that are healthy, nutritious as well as being delicious. Today it is estimated 1 in 5 children of a pre-school age are already obese. As childcare specialists / educators we have the opportunity and the responsibility to work with families to help preschoolers learn about food and to separate good foods from not so good foods. In this process it is important to also educate that generally all foods are ok in moderation and excessive eating of any foods is not good for the body or mind. Treats are good as is fitness and exercise which also play a very important role in healthy living both physically and mentally.

Teachers at all levels understand that humour is inherently social and the contagious nature of humour naturally builds a sense of social community by lowering defences and bringing individuals together. By making the classroom a �fun� place, children are receptive to learning quicker, enjoying their learning time more and also find it easier to communicate with their classroom buddies in a much better way. Essentially humour and fun activate our sense of wonder, which is where learning begins so it seems rather logical that humour and fun enhance retention and improves learning.

Fitzsimmons Place Nursery offers facilities include a large indoor soft-play hall, a generous playground and gardens, with our very own Forest School set ½ acre at the top of the garden.
