A gentle day that helps your child feel settled.
Children thrive when their day feels calm and familiar. Our routines give structure without feeling rigid. There is time to play, to rest, to be outside and to enjoy quiet moments. Each part of the day is shaped around what young children need to feel secure.
At The Mount, your child steps into a world of discovery, challenge and opportunity that helps them realise just how much they are capable of.

Milk and Mealtimes
Milk and meals follow your child’s usual routine wherever possible. Babies can have formula, expressed milk or alternatives in line with family choice. All children enjoy homemade meals, snacks and drinks that suit their age and stage. Mealtimes are calm and social, and everything is included in your fees.

Outdoor Spaces
Children spend time outside every day. Our outdoor area is designed for climbing, digging, building and imaginative play, as well as quieter corners for calm activities. Children move freely between indoors and outdoors, which keeps play relaxed and child led.

Sleep Time
Sleep times are gentle and unhurried. Babies and toddlers sleep in quiet rooms with soft lighting. Babies use secure sleep pods and older children use individual mats. We follow each child’s natural rhythm and let you know how they have slept.

Toilet Time
Toilet routines are handled with patience and care. There are child sized toilets and sinks to help children feel comfortable. Babies are changed regularly. As children show signs of readiness they are introduced to potties and toilets, with close partnership between staff and families.
