Here are some suggestions about how you can support your child's learning and development at home.
Encouraging Independence
When children come into Nursery, we encourage them to be independent, for skills such as:
It is important to develop children's self-esteem and co-ordination skills. These skills can be practised at home.
Communication and Language Skills
Developing speaking and listening skills is really important.
Physical (Gross and Fine Motor) Development
Encourage your child to be physically active everyday.
Gross Motor Skills
At-home activities: Balloons, bubbles, bouncing, trampoline, hopscotch, playground play, bikes and scooters and dancing.
Fine Motor Skills
At-home activities: Playdough, painting, playing with sponges and water, water play, threading, gardening and planting.

Simple, fun activities for kids, from newborn to five
Many little things light up hungry little minds. Kids take everything in, and even the smallest things you do with them can make a big difference. They love it when you chat, play and read with them, even when they’re too young to understand everything. Whatever the time and wherever you are, you can turn almost anything into a game. And every little thing you do together will help set them up nicely for the day they start school.
