About Woodentots Montessori Nature Babies Limited

Intergenerational experiences in the early years nurture empathy, respect, and a strong sense of community. Children form meaningful experiences with older generations. As part of our enriched early years curriculum, we maintain a close partnership with our neighbours, Riverside Care Home, offering children valuable intergenerational learning opportunities on a regular basis where we go above and beyond peer to peer interaction. From storytelling to planting seeds side by side, these moments build resilience, patience, and a sense of belonging for everyone involved.
