Nursery

NURSERY Ι 3 – 36 MONTHS

“La Marelle”, our vibrant and welcoming nursery, seeks to be more than just a reception service. It has a number of different aims relating to the wellbeing and physical and psychological development of the child. The school’s role, in collaboration with the child’s family, is to help them to develop their individual personality whilst at the same time creating a climate of trust with the parents and the child.

In order to feel comfortable, the child needs to develop at his or her own pace. The quality of the reception class is key to the child having a good day. It is important to listen to the child and his or her parents. Regular exchanges of information with the parents are essential in helping teaching staff to respond as best they can to the different needs of the child.

Only 12 children are accepted per day: 5 babies (aged 3-18 Months) and 7 toddlers aged 18-36 months.

Opening Days & Times

Monday to Friday from 7.15am to 6.15pm

We ask that the children arrive no later than 9am so that they can get their bearings and follow the programme for the day that has been drawn up by the teaching staff. Similarly, when it is time for them to go home, we ask that the parents arrive no later than ten minutes before the daycare closes, thus leaving plenty of time to discuss the day’s events.

Holidays

The day nursery is closed:

for three weeks in the summer (the first three weeks in August)
on the Monday of the weekend of Jeûne Fédéral
for two weeks at Christmas
during Easter weekend
Ascension Thursday and Ascension Friday
Pentecost

Class Size

12 children divided into two groups:

5 babies aged 3-18 months
7 children aged 18-36 months, the “toddlers”

A typical day in our daycare

07:15 We’re welcomed into the daycare for another great day, packed with things to do.

09:15 All my friends are here. We sing, tell stories and say “hello”.

09:30 A little break for a snack with my friends.

09:45 Our teachers explain the activities that are planned for the morning. If the weather is good, maybe we can even go for a walk.

10:30 Singing, gym or free play, depending on what day of the week it is.

11:00 Getting ready to go for lunch (going to the toilet, washing our hands).

11:15 Meeting my friends for a delicious meal together.

12:00 Getting ready to go for a naptime.

12:15 Some of us go home, the rest of us have a naptime.

13:30 As we all have different rhythms, we wake up quietly and calmly and then get ready for the afternoon’s activities.

14:30 We discover, we explore, we experiment, we learn from the planned activities, or we go for a walk.

16:30 All of this makes us hungry! So we have our afternoon snack!

18:15 Mum and Dad will come for me soon, and my teacher will let them know how my day went.

The activities for the day which are listed above are shown as an example. In order to adapt to the specic daily needs of the group, activities constantly evolve and are subject to change.
