Nursery rhymes play an important role in early childhood development and education. As well as being fun they are excellent teaching tools:

1. Nursery rhymes and children’s songs boost vocabulary and language development.

2. They help children to develop literacy skills.

3. They provide a fun way to support early numeracy skills.

4. Nursery rhymes help children to develop social, physical and emotional skills.
