Throughout the year, we run a
programme designed by I Can, a
charity who help children
communicate.
It is delivered by our Early Talk Boost trained staff who work with the children by reading stories, singing songs and doing activities based on the story. The sessions are designed to develop skills in speech, language and communication which children require to learn and
understand new words and join
in with conversations.

LEGO®- Based
Therapy
LEGO®-Based Therapy is used at
The Village Pre-School, Upham to
help develop social competence through
the development of social skills.
Collaborative play with LEGO® provides
children with the opportunity to practice skills such as turn-taking, listening, sharing ideas, communication, compromise, problem solving and shared attention. LEGO®-based therapy encourages children to interact with each other whilst they work together to build models.
Teeth Brushing
Farm Visits
We have a link with a local dairy farm and the children visit the farm regularly to see the cows. They enjoy meeting the farmers, and sitting on the tractors and other farm vehicles. The children feed the cows and have watched the cows being milked.
We are proud to have been awarded a 'Saving Smiles award' by Solent NHS Trust. We encourage the children to clean their teeth every day after lunch. We provide tooth brushes for each child, and tooth
paste. Our staff are trained by Solent NHS Trust to ensure the children clean their teeth safely, and effectively.
