Activities
At Hugs and Giggles, we encourage learning thorough play. We accomplish this by focusing on the children’s artistic, physical, emotional and intellectual development. At Hugs and Giggles, we feel it is important that children have the chance to explore and be creative; through different activities children will be able to achieve these goals.

Being located in the idyllic setting in Headstone Manor Park in Harrow children have the opportunity to visit the many treasures on Headstone Manor grounds such as the historic manor, playground, tennis courts and the duck pond.

Baby programme (3 months – 18 months)
Our baby developmental program is designed to provide each child with a caring and stimulating environment. Each child will have a personalised schedule and feeding time. Our daily activities will ensure that each child is developing and having fun through our various
activities.

The children will have the opportunity to be creative through arts and crafts, explore different texture during sensory play and develop fine motor skills using the various equipment and toys. While the children are engaged in these activities they will begin to develop the skills needed for speaking, listening, sitting and walking. This will prepare the children for the transition to our toddler developmental programme.

Healthy Diet
At Hugs and Giggles Nursery, Harrow we see mealtimes as an important social activity, Staff sit with children for meals to promote good table manners. It is also an opportunity to discuss the day, and their thoughts of the morning activities. Staff use the information in planning future activities and experiences for the children.

The children are encouraged to serve meals and help out whenever possible. Children can see the kitchen from an opening where fresh fruit and vegetables are displayed on a daily basis. One of our aims is to have children understand the importance of healthy eating.
