Queens Park Montessori

We are a Montessori Nursery, providing a blend of the Montessori ethos and other childcare approaches. We aim to promote independence within the children and support them to develop to their full potential within a secure and loving environment. We have 3 separate age-specific rooms, a sleep room and an enclosed outdoor space. Our under 2's benefit from direct access to their own garden area. We provide our children with healthy food throughout the day. They have a mid-morning snack, a cooked meal at lunchtime and a light tea. Drinking water is available at all times. We have some parking available on-site and also within the surrounding area. We strive to promote strong partnerships with parents and offer an individual settling-in process for each child. We produce comprehensive Learning Journals which chart the children's development and their experiences at nursery. We are pleased with our last Ofsted grading of 'Good' in November 2022, and continuously strive to develop our practice.
