Overview

Rooms & Facilities

At Acton Montessori, we are proud to offer a unique environment among our six branches. We accommodate children from 3 months to 5 years old with experienced and caring staff.

We follow the Montessori method, which is a child-centered educational approach based on scientific observations of children. It emphasizes independence, freedom within limits, and respect for a child's natural psychological development. Our classrooms are designed to inspire curiosity, foster self-motivation, and promote hands-on learning through carefully prepared activities and materials.

Our setting features an open-plan room that is thoughtfully divided into three age-based groups:

Discoverers (6 months to 2 years): This area is safely separated by a low fence to cater specifically to children under 2. It includes stimulating resources and a baby gym to support early development.

Explorers and Inventors are together

Explorers (2 to 3 years): Children in this group are naturally curious and love to explore based on their own interests. The environment is designed to foster independence and discovery.
Inventors (3 to 5 years): These children are eager to learn, explore, and bring their own ideas to life. Our dedicated staff support and nurture their creativity and learning journey.

Food

At ACTON MONTESSORI NURSERY AND PRESCHOOL we recognize that the food our children eat affects every aspect of their lives: their mood, behaviour, growth, even their ability to concentrate.

Good nutrition is vital to a child’s health from building strong bones and teeth to the healthy development of internal organs and general growth. Our carefully put together menu offers the children a well-balanced diet on a daily basis. All our food is prepared at the nursery by a qualified chef.

We take care of each child's individual dietary requirement whether it is for cultural, religious or it is a dietary intolerance.

We feel that is important to teach the children the importance of eating healthy. The children learn about healthy choices and eat healthy while at school we will ensure meals, snacks and drinks provided by us are varied, nutritious, and well balanced

ACTON MONTESSORI NURSERY AND PRESCHOOL is a beef, nut and pork-free school, we also provide Halal meat and vegetarian/vegan options. The children are served water or milk only we also do not add any salt or sugar to our food.

During your time at ACTON MONTESSORI NURSERY AND PRESCHOOL please feel free to discuss any dietary requirements with us.

Ofsted

What is it like to attend this early years setting?

The provision is good Children arrive happily. They separate easily from their parents, eager to greet familiar friends and staff. After saying goodbye to their parents, toddlers and preschool children follow a routine to hang up their coat and bag before selecting their name card to self-register. Younger children are greeted warmly by sensitive, caring staff, who give children time to settle before guiding them towards sensory play experiences. The relationships between children and staff are close and supportive. Children freely approach adults with requests to read a story and sing a favourite song. Staff respond well, asking other children if they would also like to join in. Children come together during circle time. They say 'hello' to each other and share what they know about the days of the week and the weather. Behaviour is good as children take turns to answer questions or to choose favourite songs or rhymes to sing with actions. Children confidently play together in small groups, talking between themselves. They are very caring and considerate of each other. A gentle prompt from staff to think about the 'golden rules' is enough to remind children to share. Children have access to outside space on a balcony, where they spend time outside every day. Staff arrange trips to a local park where children have the chance to run and play in a large open space.
