What is Rhyme & Reading?
Rhyme & Reading is a joyful, wellbeing-led early years programme that brings families together through rhyme, music, movement and storytelling.
Our sessions are designed to nurture early communication, emotional confidence and strong parent-child bonds, creating powerful foundations for learning, wellbeing and connection.
Why It Matters
The first five years of life shape everything that follows.
By the age of five, around 90% of your child’s brain development has already taken place, laying the foundations for communication, confidence, emotional regulation and a sense of safety in the world.
Many parents know these years matter, but aren’t always sure what to do, or whether they’re doing enough. Rhyme & Reading activities are designed to support your child’s wellbeing during the years that matter most, laying the foundations for lifelong learning, and providing parents with resources, reassurance whilst raising children.
What happens in the sessions
We deliver consistent, high-quality sessions that integrates all four of our CALM drivers while maintaining a weekly spotlight focus.
