The Health visiting team have asked us to share this website to our families on information about potty/toilet training. Learning how to use the potty independently and stopping wearing nappies is a big milestone for your child. There are lots of new and exciting skills for them to learn with your help.

Potty training: how to start & best age to potty train - ERIC We've broken down potty training into 3 easy to follow steps: preparation, practice and perfecting those skills! Use our step by step guide to help your toddler become toilet trained.

Hippitots is celebrating World Nursery Rhyme Week, this is a world-wide initiative celebrating the importance of nursery rhymes in early childhood development. Nursery rhymes play an important role in early childhood development and education.
�As well as being fun they are excellent teaching tools:

⭐️Nursery rhymes and children’s songs boost vocabulary and language development.

⭐️They help children to develop literacy skills.

⭐️They provide a fun way to support early numeracy skills.

⭐️Nursery rhymes help children to develop social, physical and emotional skills.

If you would like to join in at home see the photo below for daily songs.

‘Children are not things to be molded, but are people to be unfolded’ (Jess Lair).

Come join Hippitots where every day is unique as we follow the children’s lead in their pre-school education driven by their interests, motivations, and fascinations.

We’re here to ensure that you’re confident in the knowledge that your child is getting the best early years experience possible and your parental needs are always met!

Places available for your child’s free 15 or 30 hours funding. Please contact us on 0191 3773759 for more information and to arrange a visit.
