Milo's Adventures

Meet Milo the Monkey

Milo is our "50 Things to do Before You're 5" monkey who loves to go on adventures with staff and children. Every weekend he visits a different staff member and enjoys an activity from the "50 Things to do Before You're 5" poster.

50 Things to Do is one of Birth to 19's projects, all of which are helping children have a great start to life. At Strong Close Nursery School we encourage families to join in with 50 Things activities as these help develop and support children's learning in all areas: language and communication skills, being active, exploring the world, learning about local history and culture and lots more.

See below the wonderful adventures Milo has had with some of our staff and how they enjoyed some of the 50 Things activities together.
