Welcome to the latest special edition of Little


Learners In this issue, we’ve teamed up with some of our favourite early years suppliers to bring you the best ideas and inspiration to support you and your little learners – expect creativity, curiosity, mess and most of all FUN!


Make maths magical with Learn Well. Get messy and creative all in the name of numbers – there’s even something for the older children in your nursery.


Help children express how they feel through music and stories with some unique ideas from Yellow Door.


Enable them to learn through their interests and investigations, with fun activities from Designs for Education that use open-ended resources to encourage imagination.


Check out some interesting and inspiring play tray ideas from our friends at Cosy to help with mark making, literacy and more.


You can also get a real-life insight into how other nurseries are adapting to the new normal and not forgetting something extra special from our partner Roald Dahl!


A special thanks to Cosy, Yellow Door, Learn Well, Designs for Education, Roald Dahl, and Creative Child Nursery in Bradford.


We hope you enjoy our special edition magazine!
