Frogmore Montessori

Frogmore Montessori became part of Bambinos Childcare Centres in December 2023. At Frogmore we put the children into a prepared learning environment, where children can freely choose their activities and learn through play using Montessori toys and resources. Guided by our trained teachers, the children have access to self-educating practical play which encourages them to ask their own questions and discover their own answers. Our belief is that an environment set up this way, gives children a deeper level or understanding of the different areas of learning, such as language and mathematics, as well as social interaction and more.

Muddy Boots Day Nurseries

Muddy boots is a group of three nurseries located in Devon. We offer outstanding childcare, full of engaging and stimulating activities specifically designed to ignite a child’s imagination and encourage holistic learning and development. It is our strong belief that children benefit from fresh air, mud, running and exercise and this is encouraged throughout the day with sessions being outdoors for as much of the day as possible. The best days end with dirty knees, happy hearts and muddy boots
