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.

What parents say about us

Friendly, loving environment

“Westwood Montessori offers a friendly, loving environment that is beautifully prepared and appealing; it is rich in resources that are well organised in all the different areas of the curriculum and has a warm, fun-loving, flexible, and relaxed atmosphere. The indoor rooms, the outdoor gardens, the natural world with the farm activities, fields, and meadows and the close-by forest offer children seamless opportunities for growing, developing and learning about themselves and the world”.

Independence and self confidence

“Teachers prepare an environment that always welcomes children’s wish to interact and learn. They support children in becoming independent and self-confident, in making friends, in understanding people’s ideas and feelings and be empathic and helpful. Teachers adhere to the Montessori values of respecting and following the inner spontaneous activity of the developing child. They recognise the centrality of parents, families and important people in children’s lives and promote a full and trusting collaboration between school and family”.

Deep sense of belonging

“The positive and loving atmosphere is reflected in the children’s relaxed demeanour as they feel a deep sense of belonging and that they are valued for their individual qualities. Children take responsibilities for and show a positive sense of themselves as they contribute to the wellbeing of the community and to the care of the environment”.
