SCUOLA MATERNA
Salita dal Noce
Perasso (close to the Pronto Soccorso of San Martino)
Tel. 010 377 8094
This private school takes over 3 year olds. Children must be potty trained. It is hard to get into this school and there is a long waiting list, but worth a try. Children are separated into age groups during the day. The youngest children have a nap area. No snacks before lunch which may be difficult for the very young ones.

NUVOLE
Off Via Berghini
San Fruttuoso
Tel. 010 352 712
A public school which takes children from 2 and ½ years onwards for half days (until noon). They have no area for naps, but they do give a morning snack and help with potty training. From 3 years old children can stay the whole day.

ASILO NIDO
San Martino Hospital
Tel. 010 5551 (switch board)
San Martino Hospital has an asilo nido, for children from a few months old. Hospital employees have priority and a slight discount, but it is open to anyone. They have a nice garden and, although it is technically not permitted under Italian regulations, they will give the babies breast milk. You can get in touch with them through the hospital's operator: 010/5551.
