Types Of Care
What we provide for your children
BABIES
(10 to 12 months)
There is a high ratio (1:3) of staff to babies which gives the staff time to provide a personal level of attention that your child demands at this stage. (Please note that not all of our centres provide this service for children under 12 months).
WOBBLERS
(1 to 2 years)
In this room we introduce a limited structure to the day with activities including painting, play dough, music, jigsaws and outdoor activities.
PRE-MONTESSORI
(2 to 3 years)
Toddlers learn from doing, so our activities will aid their development. The routine is now more structured, catering to their individual needs.
MONTESSORI
(3 to 5 years)
The children learn through Montessori in the mornings and more organised activities in the afternoons.
AFTERSCHOOL
(5 to 12 years)
Our schools also provide afterschool services for children when they have finished their day at primary school
