Stem Montessori Nursery School

We are a Montessori nursery, following this method of teaching alongside a problem solving skills based curriculum, incorporating outdoor learning.
Through stimulating and skilled instruction, with hands-on indoor and outdoor learning opportunities, young children are free to develop into the best "them" they can be.
That's why independent learning lies at the heart of the Montessori philosophy.
As children grow, they are constantly adding to their store of knowledge and as their curiosity develops, they continually seek explanations for how things work.
Ultimately, STEM, like Montessori, is about "doing".
Its about building, creating and solving real-world problems, in a stimulating learning environment; two pieces of the same puzzle!.
We are a husband and wife team, living in the beautiful SE19 area, and are proud and excited to merge our skills to bring our unique nursery to South East London.
Fidelma is an experienced Montessori Head Teacher with an International Diploma in Montessori pedagogy.
Darryl's creative take on the world will help shape our unique curriculum; his passion to make, explain and improve will be skills imparted to the children in our care, preparing them to become full and active participants in tomorrow's creative society.
Alongside a wonderful team of passionate early years professionals, we are YOUR extended family for when you need us!
