Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions parents ask us most often. If yours is not here, get in touch.
Do you have medical staff?
Yes, we do.
Do the children go outside, and how often?
The children go outside every day – in the morning and in the evening – whatever the weather and temperature. From late spring to early autumn, most of our activities take place in the yard. Quite often both the morning and the afternoon snack are eaten outside too.
Can we reserve a place?
Yes, you can.
Do you have any specific requirements for children's readiness? Do they need to be out of nappies and off the dummy when they start? Do they need to be able to feed themselves and drink from a cup?
For ages 1–3 we do not require any of these. Every child comes to us at a different stage. We work together with parents to help the child become independent and build self-care habits.
What time do children in the nursery group go to sleep?
In the nursery group, children go to sleep at 12:30.
Before my child starts nursery, should their meal and sleep routine match the nursery's?
It is recommended, as it makes the transition easier for the child.
If my child is aged 3–6 and does not nap, do you make them sleep?
Older children who do not sleep have a rest and play quiet games, or are given light tasks to do.
What extra activities do you offer?
Folk dancing, yoga, English, ceramics, modern dance and music lessons.
Which curriculum do you follow?
We follow the curriculum approved by the Ministry of Education and Science across all learning areas. We enrich it in every way we can, using many additional materials and sources. Every topic is illustrated, acted out, built and drawn. We have a great many everyday activities connected with practical life.
What ages do you teach?
From 1 year 2 months to 6 years.
When is morning drop-off?
From 8:00 to 9:00. We ask that children arrive by 8:30 if possible.
Can we enrol our child for half days?
No, that option is not available.

Мога ли да взимам компенсации, ако детето ми е при вас?

Yes, our meals come from a central children's kitchen.
How many children are in a group, and how many staff work with them?

How does settling-in work?
Settling-in is gradual. In the first days the child stays for a short time, and then a little longer each day. We follow the child, their mood and their needs, and extend their stay as they become ready.
How many meals do children have with you?
We offer breakfast, a fruit snack at 10:00, lunch and an afternoon snack. The weekly menu is published on the website and is the same at every location.
How do I enrol my child?
Send us an inquiry through the contact form or give us a call. We will invite you to visit, so you can meet us, see the place and discuss the enrolment terms. Your child must have all the vaccinations required for their age and the medical tests required for nursery/kindergarten. We then sign a contract.
