Although Hummingbird is an English speaking nursery, you will be surprised how quickly children start to speak and understand English. They really are sponges!

It’s completely understandable to be worried. As part of our registration package, we will send you some literature that explains the transition process – for yourself and for your child. We completely understand that this can be a difficult time, so we do all we can to help you both through this process.

“Although we understand that it’s difficult leaving the most precious things in your life, unfortunately for health and safety reasons we do not allow parents inside the classrooms. Often parents coming inside the classroom can also be stressful for the children as they begin by feeling this is a place for mum dad and me and then it can be quite a shock when you leave!“

Our babies learn a vast amount under the age of 1. They develop social and communication skills through one-to-one and small group activities with their teacher and friends. The teachers also encourage early physical development through tummy time and baby yoga sessions.

We offer FS1 so we can continue with your child’s development and give them that extra year to build on their resilience. That does not mean our FS1 class is a walk in the park; our FS1 teacher will be working closely with you to prepare your child for school and help you as a parent adjust to a ‘big school’ environment.
