Promoting and celebrating the importance of nursery rhymes for the under 7′s
Nursery rhymes play an important role in early childhood development by helping children to master key skills such as language and communication as well as social, physical and emotional skills. You might have already guessed that we are passionate about nursery rhymes (and the sillier, the better!). Every day in our classes we see first-hand how children benefit from singing and playing along to the simplest of rhymes. We don’t think they should ever be forgotten or overlooked. That’s why we will once again be inviting you to join us for World Nursery Rhyme Week - the world’s first and only global celebration of nursery rhymes. Let’s dust off some of those long forgotten rhymes and get them back into everyday use. In our homes, our classrooms and nurseries.

Our ‘Rhyme A Day’ challenge

2014 will see the return of our ‘Rhyme A Day’ challenge. We will pick 5 well-known rhymes and together we’ll sing them, recite them, play them, watch them, colour them in and dance to them. For further details on our Rhyme A Day challenge please see our FAQ section.
