Under 2’s
Understanding your child’s needs is fundamental to their successful growth and development. Aligning our practices with those of Emmi Pikler we have learnt to trust the child and their innate sense of what is right for them. Child led, peaceful, calm practices to ensure the best home away from home is our promise to you and your family. Fundamental to the delivery of this our primary carer approach - your child’s chosen “person” in our team to see to the majority of their daily care needs - sleep times, nappy change and feeding, and importantly communication with you.
