Does the nursery have a diverse range of books reflecting ethnicity?
Yes, we have a wide range of books, fiction and non-fiction and rotate these regularly depending on a particular interest or subject area. Do the children enjoy any musical sessions like singing, instruments etc. Singing is an activity initiated by adults at least twice a day. We also have a cd player on regularly and encourage singing at any point in the day. Musical instruments are available to the children at any point in any day. We will incorporate this in to an adult led activity if we wish to teach a skill or if a child shows a particular interest in them. Does the nursery use any methods of teaching/raising awareness of different language skills like computer software, puppetry etc. Makaton, a form of sign language is incorporated into our communication with children daily. Communication is encouraged throughout the day in any form.
