A time to share

The run-up to Christmas is a magical time in an early years setting, says Sue Cowley

The run-up to Christmas is a magical time in an early years setting. Not only is this a very special period for the children, it also offers a fantastic opportunity to share what we do in our settings with our families. At pre-school our children are busy making cards, decorations and other Christmas crafts to take home to surprise their parents. We have invited families in to watch the children perform their ‘Wriggly Nativity’ on the last day of term. Our pre-school children will also visit our local church, to enjoy the nativity play performed by the primary school. One of the very best things about being involved in an early years setting is this sense of being at the heart of a community and sharing what we do with others.
