The festive season is a time for joy, laughter and connection. For many families, it is an opportunity to slow down, spend time together and create lasting memories. But in the hustle and bustle of shopping, cooking and preparing for the big celebrations it can be easy to overlook what truly matters - being present with those we love. 
 
Here at Wellies Nursery, we understand how important it is for children to feel connected, loved and supported. And this doesn't just mean being there physically; it means giving your full attention, listening and engaging with them on a deeper level! So how can you make the most of your time together this festive season? Here are some simple but meaningfull ways to be present with your little ones, helping them feel valued and cherished.
