We have started our water topic. I contacted united utilities and asked them for some info. United Utilities actually only suply teaching info for primary aged children upwards. They do however have a company they work with that deals with younger children. I was sent a pack with 8 poster in and a booklet. the booklet is good because it links everything into the foundation stage and stepping stones for you. so you have no need to work it out yourself.
