2 hours of rest for you, and lots of fun & a great start to learn a new language for your child!
In our mini-nursery, the little ones can have:
- free play
- story time
- dancing
- structural activities within bilingual sessions in French and English
What we do
Our objectives:
- To encourage language learning with easier fluency than learning in later life Young children’s brains are developmentally ready to accept and learn a foreign language, and studies show that language education enhances overall cognitive skills, improves brain development and provides cultural enrichment.
- To maintain a bilingual environment for bilingual families
- To offer the perfect and flexible childcare solution that will enable mums to have a 2-hour child-free break and take care of themselves. (which is a big need, we know!)
How we teach
Les Petits Bellots follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum and ensures that all activities are set to enable children to develop further at their own individual pace.
We employ total language immersion, supported by a qualified team speaking both languages in a safe and stimulating environment, allowing the children to be multiculturally aware while developing their social skills.
Learning is very much through a combination of play and language, and your child’s safety, confidence and enjoyment is key.
L’éveil de vos enfants est notre priorité!
Our sessions
Our two-hour sessions begin with a welcome as children come in, followed by free play and then circle time, where we say ‘bonjour’ to everyone and sing during French Rhyme Time. Structured activities follow for 20 to 30 minutes, where staff interact with all children.
We take care of baby-change if the need arises and suggest toilet visits for older ones. After Snack Time (catered for by parents), we all tidy the room together, then we gather for our second circle time to read a story in French. We then have a dance session, which lasts between 10 to 15 minutes, before finally saying ‘au revoir’ to everyone as parents arrive to collect.
Parents are welcome to stay and watch, especially for the first few sessions to ensure their child has settled. However, most parents do make the most of the opportunity to enjoy some precious time out, dropping their children and collecting them at the end of the session. Our care is bespoke, and each family is different.
