Bright Bambini Montessori (Eastfield)

About this day nursery

Bright Bambini Montessori (Eastfield), established in 2024, operates all year round with sessions from 9 am to 6 pm, except for one week at Christmas. The nursery provides a welcoming and secure environment for children aged 2 to 4 years.

The experienced manager has developed a clearly structured Montessori curriculum that builds on children's existing knowledge and abilities, ensuring they make good progress from the moment they settle in. Staff are adept at supporting children who speak English as an additional language, helping them to develop their understanding and language skills effectively.

The outdoor area offers opportunities for children to develop their physical skills and confidence, such as climbing the steps or climbing wall to access the slide in the garden. Parents speak highly of the nursery, noting that they are well-informed about their child's daily activities and learning progress.

They also observe their children developing practical skills like sharing, taking turns, and putting on their own coats. The nursery fosters a strong "can do" attitude, encouraging children to try new skills like using safety knives to cut fruit and pouring drinks, which supports the development of hand-to-eye coordination crucial for future reading and writing.

The nursery also works in partnership with other professionals, including the Literacy Trust and the local library bus, to promote a love of books and stories among the children.
