As part of our drive to support parents and primary caregivers at home, please watch this short video for parents on Babies Brain Development by UNICEF.   It's all about PLAY.  Not coincidentally, this is what our Early Learning and Development Programme has at its' foundation.

Our curriculum centers entirely on your child's play in nursery.  Play is such an integral part of a child's early development it is now part of the United Nations Conventions on teh RIghts of the Child.  Article 31 relates to play and cultural and artistic activities, stating:

"Every child has the right to relax, play and take part in cultural and artistic activities."

When we refer to play in our curriculum, it is because we love to hear MUCIC to our ears!

The 7 areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage are built into this programme. 

Play comes in many forms and can be active, passive, independent, assisted, educational, solitary or as part of a group activity.  It can involve getting messy, dressing up, acting out, being physical, being creative or just sitting quietly using a gadget, game or a simple cardboard box.  I can be inside or outside, on a beach or in a forest.  It can be a million different things, but it should always be fun.
