Things to know

1. School Hours 8.00am- 1.30 pm Mondays to Fridays. Please note that children should be dropped promptly between 8.00-8.30am and picked up at 1.30pm. 2. Requirements Comfortable clothes and shoes. A spare set of clothes is recommended for all children, particularly the younger ones. Those being potty trained should come in training pants, with spares and their changing kits. For Hygiene reasons, we also ask children to bring in their own hand towels (clearly marked) daily. A lunch box must also brought in daily, containing food and drink as parents/caregivers wish. Our staff are available to help younger ones with feeding and we will heat up food as directed. 3. Discipline We apply a time-out method, with children being encouraged to sit quietly in the corner until they settle and if they are continuously disruptive, we let them settle outside. They are closely supervised and monitored at all times by staff and in close adherence to our Montessori principles we will always apply dialogue to encourage positive behaviour by all the children, which is emphasised in our daily grace and courtesy activities. Visits Whilst we encourage parents/guardians to come and see us, it is imperative that an appointment is made prior to the visit. This ensures that we can structure the visit in such a way that it has a minimally disruptive effect on the children at work. You can contact us on any of the numbers indicated (preferably after school hours) except of course in emergencies.
