Songs and Rhymes Singing songs and rhymes with your baby is really good for them, as the rhythms and repetitive language make it easier for babies to learn language skills. Your baby will love hearing the same rhymes over and over again and will soon learn to join in with the actions. Singing and reciting with your child is also a great way of bonding with them. Here are the words and actions to some popular songs and nursery rhymes, with some mp3s to listen and sing along to as well.

Tax Free Childcare

Do you know about Tax-Free Childcare? 

https://www.gov.uk/tax-free-childcare

You can get up to £500 every 3 months (£2,000 a year) for each of your children to help with the costs of childcare.

If you get Tax-Free Childcare, the government will pay £2 for every £8 you pay your childcare provider. This is paid via an online childcare account that you set up for your child.

You can get Tax-Free Childcare at the same time as 30 hours free childcare if you’re eligible for both.

Another good link is Childcare choices... to see if you may be entitled to any other help;

Or pop into the office or give us a call and we will help you in anyway we can...
