How Finkley Farm Nursery Group Uses Polylino to Nurture Inclusive Early Literacy

The Finkley family of nurseries brings together hands-on learning, creativity, and inclusivity through child-centred play and exploration. Across their settings, Polylino has become a vibrant tool in story time and daily routine, supporting early literacy in new and inclusive ways.

Part of Our Daily Routine

Educators at Finkley Weeke shared how Polylino has seamlessly woven into their daily sessions:

“Our children have been loving exploring Polylino and it has become a much‑loved part of our routine!” - Vanessa Slatcher, Nursery Manager

With its intuitive interface and engaging stories, Polylino is simple for nurseries to implement 1:1, in small groups, or with the whole room, helping to reinforce early language skills and a love of stories.

Connecting Stories to Children’s Interests

Polylino's breadth of content allows stories to support and extend learning thematically:

“The wide range of stories is amazing as we can link these to our weekly themes and run with the children's current interests!”

These story-based connections help foster holistic development and allow learning to grow from each child's natural curiosity.

A Gateway to Inclusion

A defining strength of Polylino lies in promoting linguistic diversity and cultural awareness:

“The fact that the stories are then available in so many languages means that we can support all our children and promote inclusivity and awareness of other languages and cultures!”

This supports children with English as an Additional Language (EAL), and empowers all children to embrace multilingual learning.

A New Way to Read

Mia, a Polylino Ambassador at Finkley East Anton, captured the transformative nature of the platform:

“I really enjoy using Polylino with all of our children at Finkley East Anton, as it opens up opportunities for all of the children, and engages them to explore a new and exhilarating way to read!” - Mia Miller, Nursery Practitioner

Her enthusiasm reflects how Polylino brings energy, choice, and discovery to reading across their nursery settings.

Alison Dennis, Finkley Nursery Group Director, says…

“Polylino has been such a great way of linking nursery and home. Families can enjoy so many stories together, no matter their language or background, and it’s really brought our community closer through a shared love of reading.”

Finkley Nursery Group’s experience shows how Polylino empowers early literacy through meaningful story connections, digital engagement, and inclusivity; enriching the learning journey from day one.
