Why is it important to sing nursery rhymes?

Research shows that singing nursery rhymes helps develop children’s language, communication and social skills from an early age.  Introducing children to a variety of nursery rhymes can help them to understand initial sounds.  It also helps them to learn new beats, words and rhythms.

Each month your child will learn a new nursery rhyme within the centre.  This rhyme will also be on our twitter page with a link for you to click on so that you are able to share this with your child and join in together at home.  Also look out on the twitter page for a video of you child’s group taking part in singing our rhyme of the month.
