Tooth decay is a non-communicable disease which is preventable through healthy behaviours such as brushing at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, reducing the frequency of sugar consumption throughout the day and regular dental check-ups. Recently, oral health became a mandatory component of the England Early Years Settings\u2019 (EYS) framework. Successful implementation of this public health strategy necessitates involvement from parents and carers, however their views currently remain unexplored. Therefore, we aim to investigate parents\u2019 views about the role of EYS and childcare providers in promoting and discussing children\u2019s oral health behaviours.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Semi-structured interviews were conducted in English and Arabic with 14 parents (11 mothers, 3 fathers) of at least one child under five years who was enrolled in any EYS (nurseries, preschools, Sure Start centres) in England. Participants were recruited through EYS settings and using online social media. Data were analysed using an inductive and latent reflexive thematic analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The analysis was organized into three overarching themes: 1)Opportunities for parent-staff communication in early years settings are lacking. 2)Early years settings not currently considered a place for oral health. 3) Looking forward; early years settings as a partner to support children\u2019s oral health.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Parents have limited awareness of what oral health activities occur in EYS. They acknowledge that EYS staff can influence children\u2019s oral health behaviours, yet also report communication barriers with EYS staff. Early years communication is primarily uni-directional, which shapes parents\u2019 views about EYS staff\u2019s responsibility and credibility to support their children\u2019s oral health. To overcome these barriers, staff need training and support to effectively engage parents.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12903-025-05946-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,24]],"date-time":"2025-05-24T07:55:33Z","timestamp":1748073333000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Caregivers\u2019 views on childcare staff\u2019s role in promoting children\u2019s oral health"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Dalil","family":"Alshammari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nia","family":"Coupe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah","family":"Peters","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joanna","family":"Goldthorpe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"5946_CR1","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
