Early Years
Published June 1, 2026
Partou Gingerbread House Day Nursery and Pre-School in South Croydon recently hosted a colourful exhibition to celebrate World Art Day, demonstrating the creative potential of the very youngest children in their care. The event featured artwork created by babies and pre-school children, offering families and the local community an opportunity to appreciate early artistic expression and the capabilities of early years learners.
The celebration underscores the vital role that creative activities play within early years provision, supporting children's sensory development, fine motor skills, and self-expression from the earliest stages of life. Such initiatives align with the Early Years Foundation Stage, which emphasises expressive arts and design as a key area of learning for children from birth to age five, fostering both individual creativity and cultural awareness through engaging, age-appropriate experiences.
