About The Fern Room
Ethos
Our care and education of your baby is grounded in theory which recognises that from birth children are active and competent learners. They are pre-wired to be curious and to discover and learn about themselves and the environment.
It is hugely important for babies to have an early years practitioners who provides warm, emotionally satisfying, stimulating and reciprocal relationships.
The baby's motivation to learn is most effective in a child-centred, play-based environment. As such, your baby's daily and weekly rhythm in St Mogue's is largely determined by your child’s individual routine. The day comprises of playtime, feeding, care and sleep routines and outdoor play (once your child is up and walking).
