“The provision is good .
Staff at the nursery have high expectations of the children. They teach them to carefully select activities that they want to try. Staff create a calm environment for children to focus and concentrate. They role model perseverance and how to complete tasks. Children have time to practise new skills as well having a go at new ones. Staff understand the importance of repeating tasks to build on skills. Staff want children to be open to trying ambitious new tasks. Children are eager to have a go, they have positive attitudes to learning.
Staff speak three languages at the nursery, English, French and Mandarin. They have positive and warm interactions with the children. Staff teach new vocabulary and introduce more complex sentences to children. Children rapidly gain communication skills in both their home and other languages. Children are skilled communicators who develop fluency at ambitious levels.”

Multilingual education
Our dedicated team includes native French teachers and English-speaking educators who create a vibrant French-English bilingual environment. Additionally, we have fully trained Montessori teachers and staff members with alternative qualifications in childcare. This diverse team ensures that the needs of our little ones are closely monitored, nurtured, and supported throughout their school day. Many of our educators are parents themselves, providing valuable insights into the unique care and activities that children of this age require, including attention to sleep, cuddles, and nappy changes.
