Home learning

Home learning

To support your child's learning at home you should:

Share stories every day, ask questions about the pictures
Involve your child with day to day tasks such as cooking and tidying up
Draw pictures together, practise name writing
Encourage independence with self-help tasks such as toileting, dressing and feeding
Encourage positive behaviour, have clear boundaries
Limit screen time

Check 'Evidence Me' regularly so that you can see what your child has been learning about at Nursery. Don't forget to send us some photos of their learning at home too!
