Healthy Active Little Ones (HALO)

Latest

From 09 October 2023 we will be launching a new Czone website. The new site has been redesigned and restructured, based on feedback from Schools, Colleges and Settings. We hope the new site will help all education providers to easily access useful information and resources. You will still be able to access the site using the link czone.eastsussex.gov.uk.

This free programme helps early years settings to:

  • reflect upon their practice in a range of health and wellbeing areas
  • celebrate and strengthen what they already do
  • identify (and action) areas for further development.

Alongside dedicated coordinator support, settings can access:

  • training on a range of health and wellbeing topics
  • in-house training and practical support (such as modelling or menu planning)
  • downloadable resources.

Settings can also apply for one of two new awards: the HALO Award or the HALO Excellence Award. These recognise:

  • commitment to support the health and wellbeing of children, staff and families as part of a whole-setting approach
  • continued improvement and the embedding of best health and wellbeing practice.

The content and resources in this section relate to the HALO programme. They are for early years settings, including school nurseries and childminders. To find out more or sign up, please email us: HealthyActiveLittleOnes@eastsussex.gov.uk
