Happy Parent, our aim! This is our Happy page, where everyone from Parents to Coaches and Nursery Managers can have their say. We don’t often get the chance to connect with parents of our stars . So it is delightful when we get feedback. Especially when it is so positive.
Hi, my daughter has been doing Stretch and Grow at nursery for the last two years, and she has loved it. She is starting primary school in September and I wondered if there is a class I can take her to after school. Many thanks Stephanie (Bristol)

Children benefit from tutored physical activities, such as ‘Stretch and Grow’ movement to music. They match up down gracefully, doing flying movements and mimicking train movements whilst stood on small circle mats. The lead tutor dramatises the repertoire to engage children’s interest and make it more enjoyable and children beam with delight whilst engaging in exercise. As children move and hop alternatively on each foot to fast pacing music their hearts beat faster. The tutor encourages children to touch their hearts to feel the difference of the heart beats after exercise and talk about the changes in their bodies when they exercise.
I just wanted to put it in writing what a great job you all do with Stretch & Grow and how we all enjoy every session here at Trafalgar Day Nursery. Every session is filled with activities that not only teach children about exercise but about themselves as a whole. It is also great how each activity is linked to the EYFS as this really helps all the staff in their observations of their key children. As you know my daughter also attends the nursery and is in the pre-school room and so I get to see the results of the stretch & grow sessions every week! My daughter is 3yrs old and already knows which day is Stretch & grow day, being excited about you all coming and telling me she will be doing her ‘exercises’! As a Manager & a Parent, it is with real pleasure that I say Thank you for all you do and please keep up the great work!!
Kind Regards,
Emma Miller Nursery Manager and parent! (Richmond)
As an athlete myself I aspire to be an Olympian and to have the opportunity to pass on my passion for the Olympics is truly an exciting time for me. The Olympics are renowned for inspiring the world to participate in sport, yet unfortunately, the majority won’t sustain their participation. However, Stretch-n-Grow is a unique programme, it shows that everyone can enjoy physical activity and the enjoyment that the children portray in my lessons suggests that they will continue to participate and love exercising.
