The Nursery operates from a substantial "White House" called the Oratory Montessori Day Nursery. Our aim is to create a 'home away from home' environment which is relaxed, safe and caring for children and parents alike.
Our rooms are fresh and bright with dedicated areas for sleep, meals and active play. Equally important are our secure outdoor play areas to help the children develop an awareness of the natural world about them and a sense of well-being as well as the opportunity to develop their gross motor skills. We want your child to enjoy being in a safe and caring environment from the moment you drop them off to the time you pick them up. Our dedicated staff are ready to give a hug or helping hand when needed and they also have the skills and knowledge required to stretch your child's imagination and learning.
