Children Over Two

The Toddler areas are designed to incorporate the Montessori approach to learning, by promoting age appropriate independence, individual learning paths and self selected activities, which encourage each child to progress at his/her pace.

Using this approach, children develop the three R's -
Respect for their environment (their immediate surroundings and eventually on a
larger scale)
Respect for their work (the actual process as well as the completed product)
Respect for themselves and each other

We also work in accordance with the foundation stage curriculum and provide specific areas of learning using observation and assessment to plan and prepare activities. All children over two are fully integrated and we ensure that staffing levels are maintained if not exceeded at all times. Children under three are on a 1:4 adult to child ratio and children over three are on a 1:6 ratio.
