Non-Smoking Policy

At Whizz Kids Nursery, we believe that smoking is harmful to health, and so we strongly discourage our children from smoking. Consequently, the school is a non-smoking establishment. 

Research shows that almost a quarter of all young people are regular smokers by the age of 15. Almost all adult smokers took up the habit when they were children. About 450 children a day take up the habit. Smoking is regarded by the medical profession as the major cause of many illnesses. It is estimated that approximately 120,000 smokers a year die in the UK because of their smoking habit.

Children can be harmed by passive smoking, i.e. by inhaling smoke from other people. It is known that smoking is harmful to the unborn babies of mothers who smoke. For all these reasons, our school does all it can to discourage children from smoking and to educate them, so that they grow up to lead a healthy lifestyle.
