Working alongside a qualified Makaton tutor, our educators and parents are taught Makaton signs to help support your child’s communication development. Being able to follow directions is an essential skill that children need for when they start school. Following a recipe is a great way for children to learn how to follow a set of directions to achieve a planned result. In 2019 we launched our Safety with Buzz programme to support the development of children’s understanding of health, safety and wellbeing Dance - created by a qualified dance teacher as well as routines created by former pussycat doll, Kimberly Wyatt.

UP - our exclusive learning programme for families and educators. Full of exciting and inspirational learning activities that are used across our nurseries and at home. Physical activity should be encouraged from birth; babies should be encouraged to move and be active throughout the day. Non mobile babies can be encouraged to get active through floor based experiences such as spending time on their tummy, reaching and grasping for toys, sitting up and naturally exploring moving their arms, legs and head. For mobile babies, this could include crawling, cruising, walking and reaching and grasping toys.

Cooking with Buzz provides you with a variety of different recipes to try with your child. Cooking is a fantastic learning experience, providing so many opportunities for teaching new skills and it's great fun too! Physical experiences encourage children to develop their coordination skills, helping them to control their body movements to perform a task or skill. They support children in being able to use their arms and legs in unison. This is known as bilateral movement. Cross lateral movements are also supported where children are encouraged to cross their midline, for example taking their arm across to the other side of their body. Supported by Amy Fergus-Fuller, a trained yoga instructor and early years specialist, our bespoke yoga programme combines stories and traditional nursery rhymes to encourage your child to have fun whilst they move. Be Active and Healthy Rough, smooth, rough on one side and smooth on the other, smaller than your thumb, bigger than your nose
