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.
