On Monday 4th March, it's time to get talking...

Monday 4th - Friday 8th March 2024 is 'Communication Week'.

For the fifth year, Buckinghamshire Council’s Early Years Service will be launching a week-long campaign to highlight the importance of speech, language and communication in the development of children in their youngest years. 

Children's language skills are connected to their overall development and plays an integral part in developing their educational success. The children in nursery will be exploring a range of activities throughout the week to promote the importance of speaking and listening.

Further information on the activities and experiences in Nursery can be found at the bottom of this page.
