A free introductory workshop for nursery managers.

Why music matters in nursery leadership
Music is often seen as an added extra in nursery life. In reality, it can be used strategically to support children’s development, staff confidence, the nursery environment, inspection readiness, and connections with families.
When music is used with intention, it becomes a powerful, practical tool that strengthens everyday practice across the whole setting.

Your guide
I’m Monica, and my background combines an early years teaching degree with many years of hands-on experience in nursery settings, leadership, and music education.
I understand the everyday realities of nursery life — the responsibility you carry, the pressures you face, and the care you put into doing things well. Everything I share is designed to be realistic, inclusive, and easy to put into practice.
