🦷 The Early Years Edit Toothbrushing Scheme

6-Week Routine-Based Programme

Digital Download

A simple, realistic and Ofsted-ready approach to introducing toothbrushing within childminding and small setting environments.

Designed to fit naturally into your day, this 6-week scheme helps you embed toothbrushing as a calm, consistent daily routine that supports independence, self-care and early hygiene awareness through real-life experiences.

What is it?

This resource has been created for practitioners who want to introduce toothbrushing in a way that feels:

  • manageable

  • meaningful

  • inclusive

  • realistic for everyday practice

Rather than treating toothbrushing as a one-off activity, this scheme supports you to build it into your daily rhythm through repetition, modelling and shared routine.

What does it support?

This scheme is designed to support:

  • independence in self-care

  • confidence in familiar routines

  • early hygiene awareness

  • language development through repeated everyday experiences

  • meaningful learning through real-life practice

It also helps practitioners confidently talk about their provision in relation to Curriculum & Teaching, Inclusion and Achievement.

Inclusion at its core

Every child will engage differently, and that is exactly as it should be.

This scheme has been designed to be flexible and accessible for a wide range of ages and stages. Whether a child is observing, joining in briefly, needing adult support or beginning to show independence, all participation is valued.

The focus is not perfection. The focus is familiarity, participation and routine.
