It’s fast approaching that time of year again when people start to think about registering their children at nursery.  We can list all the nurseries there are on the coast but we prefer to list the ones that we have had experience with or that have been recommended to us by friends and users of the site.  The following information has been provided to us from a friend who has sent both her daughters to Wendy’s and cannot recommend it enough.

“When we visited Wendy’s the first thing I noticed was that the toilets had toilet seats and they also were very clean, up until now I had been astounded to find a lot of nurseries expecting the kids to use toilets with no seats and sit directly on the cold ceramic!!!!

The nursery is a family business, for children aged from 4 months to 3 years.  It is divided into four groups – babies, kittens, lynx and tigers.  Babies and kittens are together most of the times, each of the groups has 2 teachers.  There is a separate room where little babies sleep and toddlers nap if they want to.

There is a kitchen on site where they prepare fresh food, the children have a balanced warm meal consisting of three courses every single day.  They never force-feed the children and do not force them to finish their lunch or food, but they do not give them their dessert or birthday cake if they don’t.

My daughter was very happy in Wendy’s and learned a lot of Spanish which came handy when she started Spanish public school.  Wendy’s is a bilingual educational centre – and it is properly bilingual.  Most of the staff are Spanish speaking with little English but there is one Scottish lady and one lady from Mexico who speaks fluent English. Teachers swap so they teach the kids Spanish most of the time and English some days (I believe two) of the week.

I also found that Wendy’s is very competitive as they offer flexible prices.  We pay 240 Euros a month from 9 till 2.

I can honestly not find any downsides or negatives except perhaps that the garden areas could be nicer – but I much prefer the staff to be nice than the grass to play on, don’t you? ”
