Apps for Under 5’s
There are lots of things you can do to support your child:
Explore together
This can be a fantastic way to find out what your
child enjoys doing online, as well as having fun and learning together.
Talk to your child about their online experiences Start and continue regular conversations about what
they enjoy doing online, introducing online safety messages so that if your child sees anything online which makes them feel
worried, they can tell you or another adult they trust.
Supervise your child while they’re online: Keep the devices your child uses in communal areas. Children under 5 should not access the internet unsupervised in private spaces, such as alone
in their bedroom
Parental controls:
Make use of the parental controls available on your
home broadband and any internet enabled device in your home. Ref: internet matters site If you need any help setting up parental controls, you
can also call up the NSPCC/O2 Helpline or visit an O2 store.
SafeSearch: The use of ‘SafeSearch’ is recommended for use with young
children. Look out for the ‘Settings’ button on your web browser homepage,
which is often shaped like a small cog.
Set boundaries:
As a family you can agree a set of rules, such as
locations in the house where devices can be used, times of day your child can
use devices, or which age appropriate apps or websites they can access. Use
passwords. Switch off at least an hour before bedtime.
Lead by example:
Get into good habits - model the digital habits you
expect from your child (for example, no tablets during meal-times)
Look out for quality marks that an independent educational panel
believe have good educational value.
