Today on Mother Tongue, we’re diving into a topic that every parent has wrestled with at some point — nursery. From choosing the right one, to knowing what really matters in those early years, it can feel overwhelming.

To guide us through, we’re joined by Rania Galbraith, Nursery Manager at Paddington Park Nursery. Rania shares why nursery education is so important for a child’s development, the red flags to look out for, and some really practical tips that will make the whole process a lot less daunting. Whether you’re a first-time parent navigating it all, or just curious about what makes a great nursery, this episode is full of insight and reassurance.
