About Us

About Our Nursery
Our goal at Busy Bunnies is to provide a safe, warm and loving environment which supports your child's trasition from home to nursery and school in the future.
To do this, we engage children in a variety of activities such as Free Play; reading; arts & crafts; music; singing & dancing; dramatic play and puzzles.
​
The children, regardless of their age, participate in a year-round daily curriculum. This includes a variety of activities and themes including colours, body parts, names of objects, 3-D arts & crafts projects, games, songs, finger play, story-telling, creative drama, exercise, science and much more.
​
We believe that young children learn best through play and from observing and participating in the environment around them. This enables the children to direct their own interests and needs.
​
At Busy Bunnies we have a variety of extra-curricular activities for your child to take part in. These include Montessori based activities, Forest School, football, music & movement, as well as cooking and pottery.
​
Our Montessori teacher is called a “Directress”. This is because she aims to guide the children towards constructive work and to direct them into acquiring both a love for learning and self-motivation. Specially trained to observe and respond to the needs of each child and to direct the whole group, the directress ensures that each member of the nursery community is respected and shows individual children how to use the educational materials most appropriate to their stage of development.
