Hello, my name is Kate aka Nanny K. I am a Mother to 3 Daughters & Nanny K to 2 Granddaughters after spending the last 30 years looking after children as a parent and 24 years as a registered childminder.
My observations have firmly taught me that using songs with short rhythms and rhymes are an incredibly powerful tool to use when teaching children about the world and increases the number of words they hear.
Many schools use songs to teach children things like the days of the week, months of the year, and how to read the time. However, I think this method of teaching can be used in so many other ways throughout the day.
I believe we are missing a great opportunity to start at the very beginning, and use these types of songs to teach children about many different areas of life in order to prepare them for everyday situations.
As a result, I decided to write a huge selection of songs covering 16 different topics about everyday life.
