Healthy eating

Breakfast is provided for children above the age of 2 attending 5 full days between 7.30 am and 8.30 am. All children attending full days and morning sessions are provided with a mid-morning snack and a hot cooked lunch. Children attending full days and afternoon sessions are provided with an afternoon snack and afternoon tea.

All meals are planned to be nutritionally balanced and freshly prepared on the premises. The menus are based on a 3-week rotation and are displayed on the notice board for parent information.

What age?

Although the entrance age varies in individual nursery schools, a child can usually enter a Montessori classroom between the age of two and a half and four years of age, depending on when they can be happy and comfortable in a classroom. At Millennium First Steps Nursery the entrance age is 3 months.

The Montessori Ethos is practiced throughout the nursery; this is evident from the calm atmosphere and positive interaction of children and staff. Children’s independence is encouraged from an early age.

They will begin with simple self-help skills and exercises based on activities which all children enjoy. The equipment which they use at age 3 and 4 will help develop their concentration, coordination and working habits necessary for the more advanced exercises they will perform at age 5 and 6.

This is this unique cycle of learning, designed to take advantage of a child’s sensitive years between the ages of three and six, which will help them absorb information from an enriched environment in later years.
