Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Open House last weekend!
On Saturday 12th we opened our doors to all who wanted to experience what Farnham has to offer. Each corner of the nursery was set up with activities themed around our curriculum. We were also running free Let’s Grow and Sing and Sign tasters too.
The aim of our Let’s Grow! Programme is to foster children’s understanding, curiosity and appreciation of their natural world, developing their awareness of the importance of environmental issues and sustainability. When engaged in gardening activities children have the opportunity to develop their understanding of the natural world, begin to appreciate its beauty and learn to take care of it. Throughout the year the children will have the opportunity to sow seeds, tend to the plants and harvest the produce developing their understanding of where food comes from. This produce will then be used in cooking activities and our Nursery menus supporting children’s understanding of healthier lifestyles.
The Sing and Sign programme was developed by Speech and Language Therapist in 2001, it provides the benefits of both music and baby signing to support early communication skills. Staff at Toddletown have been specifically trained to deliver the Sing and Sign Programme. It promotes the use of early keyword signing alongside normal speech at the single word level to enhance communication between babies, toddlers and adults. The mutual understanding of these signs can also reduce frustration when babies and toddlers communication is at the pre verbal stage.
