Course content - What you will learn
Each week we focus on a different area of the Early Years and Foundation Stage Curriculum to support the development of pre-schoolers through nature based ideas and activities. Unlike our Baby loves nature courses, we also focus on Maths and English skills to help your little one prepare for nursery, school or home-education. Adults are supported to adapt the activities each week to suit their toddler.
Who is the course aimed at?
Staffordshire parents or carers of children aged 2 to 5 years old.
