• Physical Development
Specific areas
• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the World

As Early years practitioners it is our responsibility to ensure every child is making good progress, identifying any barriers to learning and supporting them where needed. Little Giants Nursery uses an online platform called baby’s days to record your child’s development using observations, photos, and next steps which will be shared with you. You can also add to these observations and photos to help us monitor your child’s development. For more information on how to use Baby’s days please see the link below.
