FREE SESSIONS IN EDGBASTON FOR PARENTS WITH 0-5 YEAR OLDS!*
Over The Moon Little Learners Club - Where nursery rhymes come alive for play and learning!
Simple strategies, way in advance of starting school, will likely help your child’s educational journey go more smoothly and help them achieve their potential because of the foundational work they’ll have experienced during the crucial 0-5 window of opportunity.
These series of events are about raising awareness of the importance of play-based learning through the power of nursery rhymes.
Do you ever wonder if you're doing enough to support your child's learning before school starts?
You're not alone, and don't worry because you don't need to be a teacher to make a real difference!
These free, relaxed sessions are for parents and carers with children aged 0-5 who want to feel more confident supporting their child's early learning at home
without pressure, without overwhelm, and without spending a penny!
Join in for a warm, welcoming session in Edgbaston!
Get the following...
Each session uses simple rhyme-based play with unique images for each letter focus to build the foundations children need for reading, writing and number, the kind of learning that feels like fun, not school.
You'll leave feeling calmer, more connected to your child, and clearer about what actually matters in the 0-5 years.

IMPORTANT RESEARCH OUTCOMES FOR PARENTS WITH 0-5s
University of Cambridge and University of Dublin** researchers proved that babies process rhythmic information (i.e. songs and poems) much earlier than phonetic information (units of sound), so singing and ‘sing-song’ type speech helps to lay foundations for language, communication and literacy learning. Other research showed a vocabulary increase in children of up to 50% (in a singing vs. non-singing control group), whilst another study of a group of 64 preschool-age children found a strong correlation between early introduction to nursery rhymes and later reading/spelling ability!
MEET YOUR HOST
mIRALEE ASKEW campaigning for play BASED LEARNING at 10 downing street
with legendary and global Learning Through Play specialist, Greg Bottrill
Play is crucial vehicle of learning for young children and nursery rhymes, hands down, are key players for 0-5s in that journey.
The statutory Early Years curriculum is embedded in play, but it is under threat in our schools and very often, it's not happening in a way that nurtures learning; it's often just seen as recreational rather than a way to secure important skills, knowledge and understanding!
My work with parents with 0-5s advocates preparing crucial foundations for future learning success…all through play.
Hi, I'm Miralee, a former primary Headteacher with four decades of experience across state and independent education, and I'm here to support you on your journey as a parent.
I have taught, led, assessed and supported thousands of children from early years through to high stakes selection.
I have also walked this path as a parent.
What I learned, both professionally and personally, is this:
The children who cope best later are not the ones who started earlier academically,
they are the ones whose foundations were built securely through play based experiences.
