Musical Minds Home Nursery
About Me
Hello everyone! My name is Cinzia and I run Musical Minds Home Nursery in ME4 6.
My home nursery have good transport links, access to a lovely local park and nearby playgroups. The home also offers DROP OFFS AND PICK-UPS from local schools, such as ALL SAINTS PRIMARY, NEW HORIZONS CHILDREN'S ACADEMY, BALFOUR, GREENVALE, PHOENIX JUNIORS ACADEMY. Children can benefit from a spacious garden where they have freedom to express themselves and more opportunity for energetic play. HOME COOKED MEALS and snacks are included.
I'm looking forward to welcoming many young minds into my setting to support their early learning and development. My setting is an INNOVATIVE home from home learning environment where your child will have plenty of opportunities to learn through music, especially the djembe drum and other percussion instruments.
According to the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM Foundation), music helps the body and the mind work together. Music ignites all areas of child development and skills for school readiness, including intellectual, social-emotional, motor, language, and overall literacy. Exposing children to music during early development helps them learn the sounds and meanings of words. Dancing to music helps children build motor skills while allowing them to practice self-expression.
Additionally, your child will be exposed to Italian and Spanish languages on a daily basis.
According to the Department for Education, there are a lot of benefits to learning a second language in the early years.These include better memory skills, improved ability to focus, increased vocabulary, and more. Developing these skills will help your child overcome the challenges they might face in school and allow them to grow into confident learners.

Cinzia is lovely childminder, kind and caring. My son really enjoys going there. I believe she has positive impact on children, she does loads of artwork, messy play, music play and provides high level of attention. Thank you Cinzia for making my son feel safe and happy! Highly recommend
My daughters have loved spending time with Cinzia. She has taught them so much and I have seen an improvement in development. They enjoy learning Spanish and singing songs. I am always kept up to date with what they’re doing with pictures and texts.
