Technology plays an important part in our everyday lives. From having a smart speaker that can help with shopping lists to robot vacuums in our homes...there's tech for every eventuality!
This is no different for the childcare sphere, where embracing technology can enhance security, improve nursery-parent communication and can also be used in early years learning. But it can be a controversial topic, with some parents fearing that increased screen time will eclipse traditional learning tools and activities.
So, how can nurseries strike the perfect balance? We delve deeper into this topic in our latest whitepaper – download your free copy here: https://bit.ly/4ehWFWV

With our ‘Little hearts, bright futures’ initiative being such an important one to all of us here at Banana Moon, Claire was more than happy to take the reins from Emma in delivering the next lifesaving defibrillator to the network.
Here she is at Banana Moon Day Nursery in Harlow with Sian Burton and Helen Essery ❤
Earlier this month, we headed to Sunderland to celebrate them opening their doors to the community to help ensure the local children get the best start to their education journey!
Here are a few highlights from our visit…

Many people dream about starting their own business, but when it comes to going it alone, these are some of the common fears that people have that will stop them in their tracks…

📚 Our Mini Moons LOVE stories!! 📚
❓Why is story telling and literacy so important in early years? ❓
✅ Story telling is so important in early years as it develops children’s listening skills, social development and helps them focus!
✅ It massively enhances children’s communication skills, and language development, even from babies!
✅ Enables the children to experience different worlds through cultural explorations.
✅ It is a proven fact that story telling improves children’s memory and recall.
🧠 Who remembers their favourite book from
Childhood???? ⭐️📚🩷
❓📚🩷 Did you know we have a lending library at nursery?
Simply borrow a book, sign it out and enjoy!!!! Then sign it back in and borrow another! 📚
We would love to see pictures of you enjoying stories at home! Please share in the comments 📚🩷🥰✅🧠❓😊
