The Nest
Children can join us at any time from the age of 3 months, where their journey will begin in The Nest - an airy, light, purpose built environment within our Infant Community.
The Nest (3 months - rising 2 years)
During the first year of life, children learn to reach out, to grasp and act on their environment. Our Montessori baby Nest provides a rich, stimulating and peaceful atmosphere in which your child can unfold. Everyday activities include painting, water-play, dancing and singing with friends.
Caring, highly qualified staff attend to your baby's needs at all times and encourage them to build the foundations for a lifetime of creative learning. We keep detailed illustrated records of your child's time with us - showing their growth and achievements and making sure that you don't miss any of those exciting moments!
The Nest children love the extensive outdoor play opportunities in our one-acre meadow and woodland classroom (Colourbox 'Country Club'). This rich outdoor learning environment includes a beach area, farm area, castle roundhouse, 'Betty' the caravan and a unique pyramid bird-hide. Whatever the weather, children of all ages spend time growing plants, discovering and identifying wild-life, exploring, building dens, and eating lunch 'al fresco'.
We embrace the Early Years Foundation Stage framework 2017.
