Nursery Workshops

Manor Primary School warmly invites parents and carers of our nursery children to take part in a series of engaging workshops designed to support your child’s communication, language, and listening skills. These early skills play a vital role in helping children express themselves, understand others, and become confident learners.

The workshops will offer practical ideas, demonstrations, and simple activities that you can use at home to support your child’s development in fun and meaningful ways.

We are running one parent-only workshop and four interactive parent-and-child sessions where you will be able to take part in activities alongside your child.

Important Booking Information

Spaces are limited to 30 places per session.
Parent & child sessions allow one adult per child.
Please book only one session per day (morning or afternoon) as the sessions are repeated.
If you have twins, you are very welcome to bring both children, but please book two places so we can manage numbers safely.
Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.

Listening with Our Bodies

Talking About Stories
