Sleeping and bed times
Sleep is really important in keeping us physically and mentally healthy. When we sleep, our bodies and minds have the time to rest, recover and process all the things which have happened to us during the day.
When we’re young, our bodies are growing and changing quickly, so we need even more sleep than adults to be able to cope with everything that’s happening.
Everybody is different, but it’s generally recommended that children and young people get between 9 and 11 hours of sleep every night.
While we understand children will want to play outside later as the summer nights are here, your children should be at home and settled by 7pm so that you can ensure your children have a decent night’s rest.
