Communication and Language
Key skills of learning
Languages are a big focus at Little Jems nursery from an early age. A different language is taught every month. Bilingual children with English as a second language are well engaged in special small groups to enhance their language skills. We consider communication and language important areas of learning and we focus on making sure that all children in our setting achieve the best and gain the most from their experience with us.

Discover Little Jems Reading Corner
“The more you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you will go.”
Dr. Seuss
Welcome to Little Jems Childcare - a place for children to grow, learn and play.
Numerous pieces of research have discovered the profound benefits of reading for a child’s development. Reading benefits later literacy skills, facilitates social interaction between adults and children, and encourages children to engage with the world around them.
