Townsend Montessori @ Maidstone

Nestled in the very centre of Maidstone, our marvellous Maidstone nursery is in the perfect location for your little one to learn and grow.
Situated in the heart of Maidstone, our nursery is the perfect environment for your child to learn and develop.
With three individual outdoor spaces tailored to your childs age group these include a climbing frame, sand and water play, a planting areas, and a forest class, your child will learn and grow whilst having fun.
Within the nursery itself, your child will learn in five large, beautiful, and bright classrooms, all on the ground floor and prepared to stimulate their minds, helping them develop key skills and creativity.
Our Maidstone nursery opened in 2014, earning a Good rating in all areas by Ofsted in May 2016 and January 2019.
The nursery staff are continuing to work hard, striving to achieve an Outstanding in all areas.
Our Caterpillars Room is a cosy room for babies in which they can crawl around and explore in safety.
They have their own free flow garden in which they can access all day, enjoying the fun and interesting things to explore and do.
We have a set of children toilets easily accessible to the children that are toilet training as well as a separate changing area.
Our preschool room is set over two large classrooms named Butterflies and Bumblebees.
Both rooms have all the areas and resources available to prepare your child for school.
Our Montessori Teacher and Qualified teacher also work between both rooms with your child on a one-to-one basis or in a small group.
Our preschool children have access to their large garden and forest class throughout the whole day.
I have been working with Townsend Montessori Nurseries since May 2014.
I supported the opening of the Maidstone branch as Deputy Manager and worked my way up to the position of Area Manager, supporting the Maidstone, Faversham, Whitstable and Forest Hill nurseries.
At 16, I completed a placement at a special educational needs school in Maidstone, and childcare became my passion straight away.
Becoming a mum to my little boy and now my little girl has given me new understanding of what parents are looking for in a nursery.
After having my little girl, I decided to return as Manager at Maidstone.
Townsend Montessori has enabled me to grow within my role and shares my passion in ensuring childcare is to a high standard in order to support children to develop and grow confidently to the best of their ability.
I have been working at the Maidstone nursery since March 2015.
I started as a nursery nurse in the Pre-school Room and gradually worked my way up to Room Supervisor/Third in Charge, Deputy Manager and now Assistant Manager.
I have really enjoyed helping the children to develop and grow and to be strong and independent.
