Wash your hands

When you arrive, before eating, after the toilet or a diaper, after outside play, after blowing a nose.

1. Wet your hands with clean water.
2. Add soap and rub to make bubbles.
3. Scrub backs, between your fingers and under your nails for 20 seconds (sing 'Happy Birthday' twice).
4. Rinse under the water.
5. Dry with a clean towel or the air.

Changing a diaper

Keep one hand on the child the whole time. Never leave a child on the table.

1. Wash your hands. Have everything ready: diaper, wipes, clean clothes, a bag, gloves if you use them.
2. Lay the child on the clean, covered table.
3. Take off the dirty diaper and clean the child front to back. Put the diaper and wipes in the lined, lidded bin.
4. Take off gloves if you wore them. Put on the clean diaper and dress the child.
5. Wash the child's hands and take the child back to the group.
6. Clean and disinfect the table. Wash your hands. Write it in the daily log.

Safe sleep for babies

For every nap, for every baby under 1:

1. On the back, every time.
2. In their own crib or play yard, on a firm, flat mattress with a fitted sheet.
3. Nothing else in the crib: no blankets, pillows, bumpers or toys.
4. Not too warm: a sleep sack, not a blanket.
5. Never on a couch, an adult bed, a swing or a car seat for sleep.
6. Check on sleeping babies often, by sight and sound.
