Outstanding Childcare at Bardfield Montessori.
There are many reasons why you will love our nursery setting...
An Environment Your Child Would Choose
The environment we have created is calm and natural. The children will explore in warm and cosy spaces, that are prepared with opportunities and activities to support their learning and development. They will have access to a beautiful outside space, that will allow them to explore and experience nature in a safe place.
Our Curriculum
The essence of Montessori is that every child is treated with care, patience and respect, encouraging them to become independent and confident learners. Our nursery ensures children are free to respond to their natural tendency to work, with opportunities to self access activities and materials in response to their interests. Our highly qualified staff team seamlessly combine the ethos of Montessori education with an ambitious curriculum to help all children to make exceptional levels of progress.
Online Software
Our nursery app allows parents and carers to access information about their child at any time. This enables you to follow your child’s learning journey, read observations written by their key worker and send messages to the nursery supporting our commitment to transparent partnership with parents.
Montessori Education Great Bardfield
The Montessori Method of education was pioneered by Maria Montessori. She created a method of education that would inspire children to learn and instil a love for learning. The Montessori philosophy values the development of the whole child; physical, social, emotional and cognitive. To support this development she advocated a learning environment that enabled children opportunities to learn through doing and with the freedom to follow their own development journey, supporting the individual personalities of each individual child. It was Maria Montessori’s belief that children who are at liberty to choose and learn independently within a carefully prepared environment would act spontaneously for optimal development.
