The Importance of Tummy Time for Babies

Babies need time spent on their tummies it helps them to develop their back and neck muscles needed for future movement. Babies who are laid on their backs all day do not get a chance to develop these crucial muscles in the same way. Regular tummy time works to increase babies' movement skills and confidence needed for crawling and also helps to develop their coordination and balance and babies that engage in regular time on their front each day are generally able to roll, crawl, sit, stand and walk earlier than babies that do not.

A Guide to Starting School 2019

At Little People Nurseries we love to be that helping hand, we are happy to advise you. Choosing a primary school for your child is a big decision and this guide is here to assist you with making your application for a primary school place. London has 33 boroughs and every year around 100,000 applications are made for primary school reception places. Schools have open days and we advise that you look at as many schools as possible, look at their Ofsted report, make a list of questions and take your child with you to see what they think as they are the ones going there.

Benefits of Yoga For Babies

Babies are naturally very limber and flexible and physical development actually happens largely through natural yoga poses which they perform with ease and aid in both their gross and fine motor skills. Encouraging these poses and the tactile stimulation involved has been found to have significant benefits to baby development and physiological processes.

Benefits of music in child development

Music plays a big part in our culture and cultures across the world, we instinctively use music to soothe babies, in play and to express love, however, there is more to this than meets the eye. Music plays a big part in the natural development of children in all areas from developing motor skills through dance and movement, to improving linguistic skills and social development. There are few things that can have as much of an impact on a child's development as music.

The children had a wonderful time preparing for the event last week by making bunting, creating crowns and King and Queen statues and dressing up as Princes and Princesses.
