Meals Prepared Fresh, Every Day
Nutrition
“To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.” – La Rochefoucauld
At Blooming Tulips, we believe in the power of good food and healthy eating habits to shape a child’s lifelong development. Given the immense importance of the early years, we think it’s our duty to promote healthy, balanced diets and encourage positive eating habits right from the start!
Our menus are inspired by the “Eat Better, Start Better” guidance to help your child explore a world of tasty, healthy food.
We focus on providing balanced meals with the right amount of energy. Our meals are specifically designed to avoid overconsumption of calories that might lead to overweight or obesity. We inspire children to eat a wide range of foods by offering fun, colourful and nutrient-rich options. Our goal is to help promote good dietary habits that they can carry into their teenage years and beyond.
We embrace diversity and ensure that our menus showcase a variety of dishes from a range of cultures around the world. Our menus also include a variety of fruits and vegetables, ensuring that children receive all the necessary nutrients to support their optimal growth.
We take special care to provide suitable meals for every child’s needs, and we pride ourselves on our ability to cater to food allergies, intolerances, and cultural requirements. Our mission is to ensure that every child gets the right start by providing them with the right meals.
“Investing in early childhood nutrition is a sure-fire strategy. The returns are incredibly high.” – Anne. M. Mulcahy
More on the intentionally prepared environment we offer for all age groups
At Blooming Tulips Montessori, we cater 0 to 5 years old little adventurers, nurturing their development with authentic passion for care and education through a child-centered approach.
For babies aged 12 weeks to 18 months old (Nido)
In Italian, a Montessori space designed for infants is called nido, which means “nest.” The space expresses all the warmth, love and attachment from the womb. A serene ambience for little ones to feel at ease and snug. It provides a nurturing space for infants aged 12 weeks to 18 months old. Our trained educators care for the little one’s every developmental whimper, aiding their journey to independence while warmly observing their growth and inquisitive explorations.
For children aged 18 months to 2.5-3 years old (Infant Community)
From their newfound independence to remarkable achievements of physical movement, communication, problem-solving ability and social interactions, children between the ages of 18 months and 2.5-3 years thrive during a crucial developmental phase. Our Toddler program nurtures and maximises their potential, providing a compassionate and supportive environment for our youngest learners.
For children aged 2.5-3 to 5 years old (Children’s House)
Our scientifically-designed, carefully crafted program for young ones aged 2.5-3 to 5, focuses on developing knowledge, confidence and social skills. They’ll direct their own activities, building knowledge, confidence, and social skills. Our educator’s gentle encouragement helps the children to utilise all the available materials, to explore practical life activities, geography and mathematics. Our aim is to nourish young minds and encourage growth in a compassionate and nurturing environment.
Forest School inspired learning for 2 to 5 years old
We believe a child’s development flourishes when there is a gentle balance between indoor learning, within our intentionally prepared rooms and garden, and outdoor exploration in the forest. That’s why we dedicate two days each week to forest learning, where nature becomes the child’s guide, teacher, and inspiration.
Our nursery is located just a five minute walk from magical places like The Bury Grounds natural spaces where children’s imaginations are free to run wild. We beautifully blend the Montessori philosophy with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum and forest learning, creating a rich and holistic learning experience. Children thrive in these outdoor environments, where free play, fresh air, connection with nature, and physical activity are all cherished parts of their forest learning journey, which takes place two days a week.
Parents, Let’s work together!
“Your child is a unique individual with boundless potential and possibilities. By working together, we can unlock the doors to a life full of excitement and fulfilment. We can inspire young learners to embrace a life-long love for learning. From thinking mathematically to creating masterpieces, let’s nurture your child’s unique potential. Help your child to discover their capabilities and build deep foundational values that will serve them well through adulthood. Let’s help them become unstoppable forces of good in the world. Together we can do this.” Dilia
