The Bastioni di Porta Nuova nursery school welcomes girls and boys between 3 and 6 years old divided into two sections located on a single floor, along a corridor.

Each section is made up of a maximum of 25 girls and boys and has two reference educators.

Each section has its own dedicated space. In addition to the sections, girls and boys have access to various educational experiences in the common areas of the service: the sections overlook a large corridor.

A part of the space is dedicated to the consumption of lunch by girls and boys and the rest of the space features arrangements for a laboratory of sound-musical experiences, a space for symbolic play and a space for manipulation/game activities with different materials.
