Water?

[Dare4Distance]

While on my childminding course I'm pretty sure they said children have to have constant access to fresh water. How do you guys go about doing this?

Thanks.

my fridge has a water dispensor other than that by filling the beakers constantly and leaving them out

I am sorry that was a really unhelpful post of mine! I have that Friday feeling.

No what i do is make sure they know how to flush the loo!!!

Ok Ok - jokes aside, children are reguarly served water/milk but I would not be leaving a jug or dispenser out for very young children. I like my house dry!
Children know they are welcome to ask or indicate that they want a drink. In the summer or hotter periods, I do have a dispenser that I leave out (in the garden in the shade).
Only children are welcome to help themselves.

I make sure that all the children have either a beaker or sports bottle including older children then i make sure they are all refilled reguarly.

Mine all have their own drinks bottle with a lid on it. I fill it with water, ice included if it is hot, and they are left on the table.

Thanks for your input. I've been out today and bought a couple of sports bottles. I was thinking there was going to be water everywhere :laughing:
