How can we support our EAL families in Nursery?

Encourage parents to talk to their children in their home language, particularly if they are not fluent English speakers.

Find support to translate information for parents into their home language so they understand the routines of your setting.

Provide wordless or dual-language books to take home so parents feel more confident sharing stories. Our Foundations for Phonics wordless books are ideal and Bookstart offers a range of dual-language books and helpful guidance in different languages.
