Well-being
The wellbeing of your child is our top priority. We understand that a child’s happiness and fulfilment are essential for their overall development. That’s why we are committed to creating a nurturing environment that promotes their physical, emotional, and social wellbeing.
At our nursery, we go beyond just physical health. We focus on fostering a sense of belonging, confidence, and resilience in every child. Through personalized care, supportive relationships, and engaging activities, we ensure that each child feels valued and supported in their journey.
By prioritising wellbeing, we lay the foundation for lifelong success and happiness.
Blue Butterfly Montessori, where the child’s wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do.
Nature
We prioritise the wellbeing and holistic development of every child in our care.
Here’s how we nurture their physical and emotional health through nature:
Outdoor Exploration: We provide abundant opportunities for outdoor exploration and play, fostering gross motor skills and a deep connection with the natural world. Through local outings and our lush garden space, children gain a better understanding of their surroundings and learn to respect the environment.
Mindful Gardening: In our allotment, children are invited to grow fresh vegetables, fruit, and herbs. Taking ownership of these processes not only teaches them about lifecycles but also instils a sense of accomplishment and responsibility for their surroundings.
At Blue Butterfly Montessori, we believe that connecting with nature is essential for promoting wellbeing and nurturing a sense of stewardship for our environment. Join us in cultivating a love for the outdoors and fostering a healthy lifestyle for your child.
Nurture
At Blue Butterfly Montessori, we emphasise the wellbeing of every child, recognizing that strong connections foster growth across all aspects of development.
Here’s how we promote holistic wellness:
Nurturing Attachments: We believe that forming strong attachments aids children in flourishing physically, mentally, socially, emotionally, culturally, and spiritually. Feeling at ease in their environment enhances their ability to focus, learn, and develop increased self-esteem and confidence.
Inclusive Opportunities: Each day, we provide inclusive opportunities that nurture and challenge children at every developmental level. Our goal is to support each child in reaching their full potential while feeling encouraged and supported along the way. Through a diverse range of extracurricular classes, we inspire various interests and passions, guiding children towards discovering their unique strengths and future vocations.
At Blue Butterfly Montessori, we are committed to nurturing the whole child, creating an environment where every child can thrive physically, emotionally, and socially
Nourish
As a vegetarian, egg-free nursery, we are committed to providing a balanced and wholesome diet that supports the health and wellbeing of our children. Here’s how we ensure they receive the nourishment they need for a vibrant lifestyle:
Nutrition Education: We believe in empowering children with knowledge about nutrition through oral health incentives, physical wellbeing activities, and hands-on experience in growing their own foods. This instils in them a lifelong understanding of the importance of healthy eating.
Seasonal Menus: Our menus are thoughtfully crafted to reflect seasonal produce and are reviewed and adjusted every six months. Our dedicated kitchen staff prepare fresh, on-site meals daily, ensuring that children receive nutritious and delicious meals.
Social Skills and Independence: Mealtime is not just about eating—it’s also an opportunity for communication and social development. Following the Montessori approach and British values of mutual respect, we promote manners and mealtime etiquette. Children are encouraged to self-serve, set tables, and wash their cutlery when developmentally appropriate, fostering independence and responsibility.
Parent Partnership: We value our partnership with parents and actively involve them in our mealtime experience. Popular recipes from our talented chefs are shared on our Kitchen staff board, and we organize events for parents to sample our menus and mealtime atmosphere, strengthening our bond as a community.
Allergy-Friendly Options: For children with allergies, we have strict policies and procedures in place. Our “allergen menu” provides nutritional and tasty alternatives, ensuring that every child can enjoy their meals safely.
At our nursery, we’re dedicated to nourishing both body and mind, fostering healthy habits that will last a lifetime.
