Hello! Bonjour! Guten tag! Do you speak another language in your home?

Singing is something that every family can enjoy, whatever language they speak.

Songs and lullabies are part of cultures all over the world, making singing a wonderful way for multilingual families to support their child's language development while celebrating their home language and cultural heritage.

Whether you sing in English, another language, or both, every song helps build your child's listening skills, vocabulary and confidence.

Come and join ‘The power of singing – building brains across languages' as part of our Family Festival on Thursday 8 October, 1pm - 2pm.

Early writing begins with small, meaningful moments like holding a pencil, making marks and concentrating on a chosen idea. ✏️ These experiences help children strengthen fine motor skills, build early literacy confidence and develop the focus needed for future learning. At our Southsea setting, your child is supported through age-appropriate activities that encourage independence, creativity and pride in their progress.

We currently have spaces available for families looking for a caring nursery place where children can build skills for their next stage with confidence.

✨ Saturday Morning Success! ✨
Our wonderful nursery team spent their Saturday morning diving into the world of Makaton training, and we had an absolutely fantastic time!
We learned so many brilliant signs and symbols to help enhance our communication with your little ones. Makaton is an incredible tool that helps children express themselves, builds confidence, and ensures our nursery remains an inclusive, welcoming place for every child to thrive.
We had so much fun practicing together, and we honestly cannot wait to get started using our new skills in the rooms this week! Keep an eye out for some new signs coming home with your children soon.

Every climb, step and balancing moment helps children learn what their bodies can do. 🌿 Outdoor physical play supports coordination, confidence and problem solving, while giving children the freedom to take safe little risks at their own pace. At our Southsea setting, your child is encouraged to be active, curious and independent in a caring environment where everyday play supports important early development.

We currently have spaces available for families looking for a nursery place where children can move, explore and build confidence each day.
