Supporting Home Learning

Supporting families to support their child's learning both at your setting and at home is important. Since the introduction of the Early Years Foundation Stage framework there has been a huge emphasis upon encouraging parents to become engaged in their children’s learning.

We have developed some practical ideas based around seasonal themes to help you to support home learning with your families.

  • Spring
  • Summer 
  • Autumn
  • Winter

Additional Activities

Tiny Talkers - Supporting Children's Communication

It is important that children learn to talk and listen, so that they can communicate, make friends, have fun, and learn about the world. Helping children to learn can be as easy as talking, listening, and playing with them whenever you can.

Learn more about what you can expect at different ages, and the activities you could try to support children with their development by visiting:

Hungry Little Minds

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.
