Following Fascinations Across Home and Nursery

Following Fascinations Across Home and Nursery

Children's learning doesn't begin when they arrive at nursery, nor does it stop when they go home. The richest learning happens when families and educators work together, sharing what they notice about children's interests, ideas and fascinations across different contexts.

This practical resource explores how the Pen Green Loop can support the Home Learning Environment by creating genuine partnerships between home and nursery. Drawing on research and a real-life case study, it demonstrates how reciprocal knowledge sharing enables practitioners and families to build a deeper understanding of children's learning, leading to richer experiences and greater continuity in their development.

Whether you're looking to strengthen parental engagement, develop meaningful observation and planning, or deepen your understanding of the Home Learning Environment, this guide offers practical strategies and reflective questions to support your practice.
