HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION – Button Batteries

Our top priority at Buttercups Childcare is your child’s safety and well-being. We would like to raise awareness about the dangers of button batteries and how to ensure a safe environment for your child.

Button batteries easily catch children’s attention because they are shiny and smooth to touch – they are also easy to swallow and unfortunately about 20 children need to be rushed to hospital emergency departments each week as they can cause severe localised burning to internal organs and in some cases can be fatal.
