About us

We are a small Montessori nursery, providing a real home from home experience for your child.

We provide a safe, calm, secure and happy environment that is prepared with children at its heart. In this environment your child can explore, learn and develop at their own pace. This unique Montessori environment will promote your child’s natural motivations to independently learn and explore. They are supported and guided through their day by adults with a full understanding of the Montessori method.

This child-centred approach is underpinned by the Montessori curriculum that will help your child to find their full potential whilst on their journey of self-discovery and will aid them in becoming a balanced, well-mannered and confident individual.

Friendly, calm and welcoming

Parents describe the school as “Amazing, calm, friendly, incredible and welcoming with a real focus on the children.”

Purposeful and confident

“The children are purposeful and confident in the environment and demonstrate care for each other through small acts of kindness”.

Self reliant, responsible and trusted

“The children are self-reliant, responsible and are trusted to, for example, use scissors and knives to prepare snack; they are also autonomous in their self-care and are confident in asking for help when they need it”.
