About Les Petites Etoiles – Bilingual Montessori
Les Petites Etoiles is a chain of high‑quality nurseries across North London. Since 2008, we have been dedicated to providing exceptional childcare services in an enriching and nurturing environment.
As a multilingual nursery, we are committed to providing a comprehensive language experience for children. In addition to our primary focus on French and English, we introduce children to the beauty and richness of Mandarin Chinese. We pride ourselves on spacious, bright classrooms and a nurturing bilingual Montessori environment where children thrive, learn, and become well‑rounded individuals.
Key Responsibilities
Key people have the honour to be responsible for a group of between 8 and 13 key children per week (many of the children are part‑time). You may start with fewer key children and gain more over time. Your role is to ensure that they can participate in the activities planned and that they progress in their development.
The primary responsibility of the key person is to have a deep knowledge and understanding of each key child individually. The key person should be the key children’s primary relationship within the nursery and be able to respond to, and plan for each child’s needs throughout the week.
