Barnes Montessori Nursery

The school is fortunate to have immediate access to a large secure, well tended, green field and a short walk away from Barnes’s hidden treasure – the reservoir – where the children go for walks and connect with nature. We also run a Forest School there one afternoon a week. There are three classes – Cricket, Ladybird and Butterfly – and pre-group (Caterpillar) Tuesday afternoons in the Summer Term prior to starting in September.

Pre-school years are important formative years. We are proud to practise the unique Montessori approach to learning. The Montessori curriculum is educational and holistic. It is at the heart of everything we do and is delivered in conjunction with the Government’s Early Years Foundation Stage. It is planned to provide for all areas of a child’s learning and development.
