From the multi-award-winning animators and producers of BAFTA nominated pre-school learning favourites Alphablocks and Numberblocks, we bring you Meet the Numberblocks. As seen on Cbeebies. This free introductory app introduces the child to the Numberblocks and helps develop their counting skills. Each Numberblock has its number of Numberblobs to count, the child has to tap on the Numberblobs to count them and when they have all been counted, a video clip plays the Numberblocks song. Tapping on the Numberblock will trigger them to say one of their catchphrases and changes their shape. This app does not contain any in-app purchases or involuntary adverts.

What your child takes home at the end of the day. Their key person posts a photo and a sentence from the room. You get your own child's day in one message at teatime - not a notification every time somebody picks up a camera. Photographs, what they ate, when they slept, the observations against the areas of learning, and the notices from the nursery. All of it stays, so you can scroll back through a term. One message a day, and you can turn that off. The app is a keepsake, not a feed to keep checking.
