A day with us

Calm mornings, busy afternoons.

Every day is a little different, but the rhythm stays the same. A predictable routine helps our Montisaurs feel safe and ready to explore.

A typical day

Our adventures vary from day to day, and we follow the children's interests. Here is the shape of a full day.

  1. Breakfast

    Our early starters enjoy a nourishing breakfast. It's a relaxed way to begin the day

  2. Work cycle & Snack rotation

    A calm start to the morning helps children settle, focus and engage with their work. The children prepare their own snack and take turns inviting a friend to join them, enjoying this time together while maintaining the calm and concentration of the classroom.

  3. Garden time

    Our outdoor area is central to our curriculum, supporting children’s physical development and coordination,.

  4. Lunch and siesta

    A home-cooked lunch, followed by a rest for those who need it.

  5. Afternoon work cycle & Milk time

    The children begin their afternoon work cycle and take turns to enjoy a glass of milk with a friend

  6. Supper time

    We enjoy a hearty meal together

  7. Outdoor Exploration

    We finish the day with some time in the garden, giving the children a final opportunity to play, move and enjoy the outdoors before heading home

Meals cooked with love

All of our meals are all prepared fresh every day in our own kitchen. Our menu features wholesome options and is changed to reflect the season.

Children eat together from non-toxic, sustainable tableware. We keep mealtimes relaxed and encourage everyone to try new tastes.

“They go to great lengths to work with each family to help their child settle in. It’s tiny, and with only a few kids it feels like a warm and safe place for the little ones’ first experience away from home. The garden is especially lovely. We feel lucky to be part of the montisaurus family.”

“I’m overwhelmed by how special this place is - I was so nervous to start my daughter at nursery and I couldn’t be more grateful. She thinks of them as family. If I could write 500 for this place I would.”
