NURSERY
NURSERY | 3 - 48 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 22 children are accepted per annum: 5 babies (aged 3-18 Months), 7 toddlers aged 18-24/24-30 months and 10 children aged 30 to 48 months.

OPENING DAYS AND 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.
