Young children are more likely to have a bad accident at home than anywhere else. But, once you know what to look out for, it’s easy to keep your child safe.
That’s why Child Safety Week is so important. Each message shared helps children lead active, healthy lives, safe from serious injury.
So please get involved by sharing our safety messages throughout this week and beyond.
Plus, don’t forget you can download our parent pack with lots of bite-sized safety tips to keep children safe:

“The happiest hearts are those nourished by the sunshine of a carefree childhood.” 💛
Moments like these remind us how important it is to let children explore, create, and simply enjoy being little.
Messy play, imagination, and laughter all help build happy memories that last a lifetime.
What brings sunshine to your little one’s day? We’d love to hear 🌈👇

Celebrating 400 years of Ballymena

We’re proud to be part of such a strong and caring community. Our children wanted to mark the occasion in their own special way—with a joyful rendition of Happy Birthday Ballymena!

Here’s to the past, present and future of the place we call home!

A little reminder for all parents… you are doing better than you think 💛
The small, everyday moments – reading a story, playing on the floor, sharing a cuddle – all help your child feel safe, loved and supported. These moments matter more than we often realise.
If things feel overwhelming at times, you’re not alone. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
