Children at Noah’s Ark Nursery in Redditch are loving their new ‘music and move’ sessions thanks to a wellbeing grant from the Worcestershire County Council Public Health Team and West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner.
The funding has allowed the nursery to invest in a qualified music teacher to run weekly sessions and also provide training for staff and parents – making the positive physical, mental and social wellbeing improvements last and last!
Tina Davis a staff member from the nursery said: “The impact has been amazing. It’s been a fantastic opportunity for both children and staff. It’s supporting the children to build relationships and a positive sense of self. We’ve had loads of positive feedback which is brilliant. I can’t thank you enough for giving the children this opportunity.”
The music and movement sessions have been going on for just over a year and have had a huge impact on the children – improving their confidence, sense of self, relationship building and encouraging movement.
