Child initiated play-based learning
Our experienced team have knowledge of Makaton, British Sign Language and Elklan. We continue to pursue further knowledge as we know the key to a childs development stems from speech, language and communication skill sets.

We know that you are entrusting us with your most prized possession. That’s why at Childcare at The Laurels your child becomes the centre of our everything!
We merge our learning approach to provide the best fusion of Montessori (child led, mixed ages, interests) and Reggio-Emilia (respect, responsibility and community). We ensure we provide enabling environments and we challenge little minds to learn how to think, not what to think.
