Introduction

Our day nursery is operated as part of a children's complex in the green zone of the 11th district, Kelenvölgy, in a newly built, high-quality and environment-friendly children's house with a garden, with small groups and group rooms of 52 m2.
Our day nursery has a separate exercise room. We are aware of the importance of developing motory abilities in the development of personality and we agree with those who say that moving is essential for young children. In addition to exercises integrated in our weekly schedule, children can enjoy moving during the winter period or in case of bad weather in this jumping room.

The toys installed in this room are suitable for:
1. exercising large movements (jumping, rolling, hanging)
2. developing the sense of balance, agility and sense of space
3. developing children's lower and upper muscles

Our modern large movement devices:
-        mini jumping-board: children develop their balance system and strengthen their muscles by using it
-        tilting grid swing: this developing device enables children to practise lateral balance
-        balancing funnel: a balance developing device
-        jumping ball: even the youngest can experience the fun of jumping and moving in space by riding these animals and holding their ears.
-        pearl ball: children can safely practise throwing and rolling a ball
-        bean sack: a traditional device of throwing at a target and balancing
-        flexible hoops: excellent for jumping and skipping
-        hammock: developing programmes based on movement aim at eliminate the errors of early organisation of the nervous system. Hammocks are excellent to achieve this goal, due to the repeated experience of swinging movement.

Children spend an average of half an hour daily in groups of 5-6 from autumn to spring in the jumping room. The jumping room forms an important part of our daily schedule since young children have an opportunity here to perform - without any danger - the movements that they have not dared or been able to perform.

Salt cavern, salt room, fresh air in our institution
The number of those with respiratory diseases increases significantly year by year, especially in large cities. Inhaling Somadrin salt solution has a beneficial effect on children with respiratory diseases and also strengthens their immune system. We have established a salt room in our institution for the sake of prevention. Time spent in this salt room forms an integral part of our daily schedule from autumn to spring: the children spend half an hour playing here in groups of 5 every day.

The jumping room and the salt room are integral elements of the same unit. Following children's intensive movement in the jumping room, salty air has a more intense effect on them.
In the course of ongoing evaporation of the solution in the salt room, relative humidity of the room is significantly increased, which promotes the activity of respiratory organs and self-purification of bronchia, thereby lowering the inflammation of mycoderm.
Thanks to the benefits of salty air, the number of children absent due to respiratory diseases is spectacularly reduced during the autumn-winter period and the period of such diseases is reduced.

Our principles of education
Our education programme envisages the development - and personality development - of children between the age of 1 and 3, with regard to their differing capabilities, abilities and habits. It is our pedagogical priority to develop children's self-confidence, expand their scope of interest and have them experience as much success as possible in the course of their life in the day nursery. We strive to create a loving, ensuring and emotionally rich life in the day nursery. Children are surrounded by professionals with a positive attitude. We believe that these persons are able to create a cheerful atmosphere in which everybody can feel good. We consider it important that children should continuously feel that they can share their happiness with their teachers.
We attach distinguished importance to healthy nutrition and education for a healthy life-style, surrounding children in a baby-friendly and harmonic environment.
