How to choose the right nursery
There are several different kinds of nurseries which can be confusing for parents. Read our guide to help you choose the best kind of childcare for your little one.
Montessori nurseries
The Montessori approach allows children to explore the world for themselves and at their own pace.
They learn through interaction with specially chosen and placed items and equipment. The child selects what he wants to play with, and uses his senses to begin to understand the items he discovers.
Each child is seen as an individual, and learning at his own pace is key.
