Breast Feeding
We are advocates for fed babies, whether it’s from a bottle or the breast, formula or breast milk a fed thriving baby is what's most important.
100 Languages Of Children
The metaphor for '100' represents the potential that each child holds. Their drive for learning and knowledge, it is so much more than communication, its how they show us things, sharing their understanding and ideas with us in ways we wouldn't dream of as adults.
Nursery Without Toys
‘Love 2 Learn Nursery’ follows ‘The Curiosity Approach®’,
which adds emphasis to move away from generic toys and resources and becoming 'Nurseries without toys'.
Starting Nursery
There is a feeling you get as you walk through the door of the right setting, a calm, positive aura, that lets you know its 'the one' for you and your family.
Potty Training
We always remind all parents, ‘every child is different’, some may take to potty training super easy and some may need a little more patience, time and encouragement.
How much is Too much?
No matter what your routine is, if you have screen time or you advocate for a screen free childhood, remember balance is key!
Play Cues
Everyday we see play cues amongst the little ones in our lives.
A cup of ‘tea’ freshly brewed in the home corner, is an invitation to imaginary role play.
The look from the child across the room from the mark making area, is encouraging you join and in create art.
The block tower built at your feet, is an inviting you to build and construct.
A text Rich Environment
Not to be confused with placing a book in every corner and play space, it’s introducing literacy into the every day environment, supporting children, from the earliest age, to interact with text, not only independently but with the support of educators, parents and carers.
The Importance of Nap Time!
Studies have shown that a tired child, is neither willing or capable to learn new and exciting things.
Sleep provides much needed down time, to ensure they are physically and mentally ready to learn new skills and fine tune their development.
Lack of sleep and rest time can also make children sad and emotional, affecting a child's emotional health.
The Many Theorists Of Early Years
There are many theorists who have researched and discovered how children change and grow over the course of their childhood. These theories have then formed the way we support, teach and nurture children to achieve their full potential.
Some of these world renowned theorists have had an influential input on our educational system and in particular have helped to form the Early Years Foundation Stage.
Sooner is not better!
Sadly, there is such a push to get children writing their names before they go to school, when in fact their bodies are not physically ready to formally handle a pencil to form recognisable letters, follow dots on a paper or write their name!
