Deciding when to send your child to nursery is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make as a parent. At Little Vitas Nursery, based at Vita et Pax School in Enfield, we believe that age 2 is the perfect time to begin.
Why? Because it gives children a head start in every aspect of their development. Here are the top five benefits of starting nursery at age 2 — especially if you’re looking for trusted early education in Enfield or Barnet.
1. Early Social Development
At age 2, children are ready to start connecting with others. Nursery gives them the chance to:
-
Play with peers
-
Share and take turns
-
Learn empathy and cooperation
These are vital building blocks for school — and for life.
2. Stronger Language and Communication Skills
Between ages 2 and 4, children go through a major language growth phase. In our nursery, they enjoy:
-
Daily storytelling and song time
-
Fun phonics and word games
-
One-on-one conversations with caring staff
As a result, their speech and vocabulary develop faster — making them confident communicators by Reception.
3. Building Independence and Routine
Nursery helps toddlers develop healthy habits. From the moment they walk in, they begin to:
-
Follow simple routines
-
Sit at the table for meals
-
Learn to dress, tidy, and explore on their own
This builds confidence, independence, and emotional security — which all lead to easier school transitions.
4. Learning Through Play
Our nursery in Enfield uses a play-based, personalised curriculum that makes learning feel like fun. Children explore:
-
Puzzles, building blocks, and sensory activities
-
Arts and crafts, music, and role play
-
Outdoor adventures and nature walks
These experiences support brain development and ignite a lifelong love of learning.
5. A Seamless Pathway into School
Starting at Little Vitas Nursery means your child is already part of the Vita et Pax community. That makes the move into Reception:
-
Familiar and stress-free
-
Academically smooth
-
Emotionally secure
Many of our nursery pupils go on to thrive throughout their early education because of this strong foundation.
