Communication and Language is at the heart of learning in the Early Years and is woven throughout the nursery environment and daily routines. Children are supported to develop their speaking, listening, understanding, and attention skills through rich interactions with adults and their peers. Practitioners model and extend language during play, encourage conversations, ask open-ended questions, and introduce new vocabulary in meaningful contexts. Communication and language can be seen throughout the environment, with cosy book areas, story props, visual supports, role-play opportunities, songs, rhymes, and small-group activities that promote discussion and shared thinking. Staff use strategies from Elklan to develop children's communication skills and ensure language is accessible to all learners. Children's understanding is further supported through the use of Blank Levels of Questioning, enabling adults to scaffold language and comprehension from simple naming and recalling to more complex reasoning and problem-solving. Visual timetables, signing, gestures, and clear routines help children understand and engage confidently in everyday experiences, creating a language-rich environment where every child can communicate, participate, and thrive.
