A Montessori nursery fosters independence, curiosity, and self-directed learning from an early age. Unlike traditional nurseries, Montessori environments are specifically designed to support the natural development of a child’s cognitive, social, and motor skills.
The Montessori method encourages children to explore at their own pace, offering a more personalised learning experience. This approach contrasts with the often structured, one-size-fits-all model of traditional nurseries, allowing each child to thrive according to their unique developmental needs.

My oldest daughter was in Clapham Park Montessori and it is a very special place. I cannot wait for my son to start. It is the most genuine environment I have ever seen and my children thrived there.

All the teachers clearly love what they do and very much make the wellbeing and learning experience of the children their priority. The teachers treat every child as an individual and give them the support they need to follow their own interests, to discover and learn at their own pace and to flourish.
