Job description

Woodentots Montessori Nature Babies
Woodentots Nature Babies offers a homely, nurturing environment for babies to begin their Montessori journey. They aim to provide a distinctive alternative to traditional day nurseries by creating a warm, natural setting that prepares children for the next stage of childcare. The ethos at Woodentots aligns with Woodland Wanderers’ pre-school values, ensuring continuity of holistic care from 3 months to 5 years.
Their classroom is designed for children from 3 months to 2 years 4 months, fostering a sensory-rich, calm, and cozy atmosphere that mimics a womb-like environment. The environment features carefully selected wooden toys and materials for heuristic play, supporting independence and cognitive development through the Montessori philosophy of "help me to do it alone." Daily routines include candle time with singing and circle time, and outdoor activities in their garden using the "turtle bus" for child-led exploration and sensory experiences.
