Hi, what is the correct way to store toothbrush's for children do you buy your own or does parent supply them also should each child have their own toothpaste too?
I was looking at a toothbrush bus but it's so expensive when you add on vat and postage. Ideas welcome xx

Why do you need toothbrushes for the children at your house, parents should be doing this at home. The only time it might be needed is if they stay overnight.

I store mine in a normal toothbrush holder that you'd have for a bathroom, the kids like to put them in head first.

Parents give me toothbrushes at the start of the summer term if they want their kids to do their teeth here and replace them when needed, same with toothpaste.

We've never brushed teeth here so something I've not thought about. :)

Do they come early in a morning?

Mine don't come that early tbh, I think they just run out of time in the morning!

Doesn't bother me having kids brush their teeth here

Each family have their own wash bags, toothbrushes, toothbrush covers and paste x

None here.

I have read it's something we could do ... After lunch/snack. But I don't.

You shouldn't brush your teeth for at least an hour after eating as it weakens the enamel.

Mmmm when I got my pre starting inspection the inspector said it was something I should be doing for pre schoolers so I do it after lunch. Mmm might contact my new inspector and see what she says . Thanks guys xx

Brushing teeth after a meal causes more harm than good. Brushing morning and evening is all children need to do so no idea where you Inspector got that from :thumbsup::D

It's not something I do but if a parent asked me to then that's fine. I leave it up to them to tell me though
