Launched this month, the three-year scheme, Natterbox Nook, is funded by a grant of more than £17,000 from education charity SHINE.
Three- and four-year-olds in Blackpool and their parents will be invited to take part in two free weekly activity sessions led by Bispham Endowed Primary school in the north of the town. One of the 45 minute sessions will involve music making, while the other will be story focused.
It has been created in response to children starting the school’s nursery with poor communication skills.
Children attending the sessions will be encouraged to interact, question and play with others. They will also provide parents with an opportunity to observe and participate in positive, successful interactions with their children.
