Nursery World - Nursery Equipment: ICT

Software programmes that aim to promote problem-solving,
communication and creativity are adding to an already wide variety of

The speed of development within early years ICT can be daunting for practitioners, but there is much to be positive about when choosing ICT resources and integrating them into your early years practice and provision.

ICT falls within Understanding the World and the aspect 'Technology', which states: 'children recognise that a range of technology is used in places such as homes and schools. They select and use technology for particular purposes.'

But with the right combination of resources, software and adult support, ICT can enhance children's learning in every aspect of the EYFS curriculum.
