Attlebridge Montessori Nursery School, part of the Norfolk Montessori Children’s Nurseries group, provides a nurturing environment for children aged 2-5 years. Located in a converted barn with a courtyard classroom and walled garden, the nursery embraces the child-led Montessori educational philosophy, fostering independence, curiosity, and a love of learning.
The nursery emphasises hands-on experiences, expert guidance, and a carefully prepared environment to support each child's unique development. With a strong focus on social and emotional well-being, the dedicated team ensures children feel secure as they explore and grow.
The curriculum seamlessly integrates the Montessori approach with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, providing a holistic educational experience. Parents are kept informed of their child's progress through the "My Montessori Child" online portal, which offers real-time updates, home learning resources, and a transparent communication link between home and nursery.
The nursery also values strong partnerships with families, recognising their invaluable insights into their child's development.

Inclusion & environment
When children are slower to develop, the provider maintains an open and honest dialogue with parents and makes swift referrals to relevant agencies. All staff understand and implement agreed strategies with confidence. Staff make, analyse and discuss regular, sharply focused observations and assessments to precisely evaluate the impact of the curriculum on children's progress. Where necessary, they adapt the curriculum and further support is accessed. All children are welcome, nurtured and receive the bespoke teaching that they need to make excellent progress in their learning and development.
Children swiftly learn that they can freely access the expansive array of resources, inside and outdoors. They confidently select what they need for their exploratory play and carry it to a 'work space' that they mark out for themselves with a fabric mat.
