Welcome to Maths in Nursery

Why run a workshop?

• To give you an insight to the activities that your children take part in Nursery

• To emphasise the importance of maths from such a young age – getting it right from the start!

• To allow you the opportunity to take part in the activities along side your child – Maths is fun!

• To give you an idea of expectations as your child develops in age

• To give you a resource pack and suggest ways you can support your child at home
