About this day nursery
Bubar Montessori Nursery, located in Stanmore, has been providing childcare since 2006 for children aged 2 to 4 years old. Rated 'Good' by Ofsted in March 2026, the nursery offers a nurturing environment where children are highly motivated to learn and feel extremely happy and settled.
The dedicated staff, under strong leadership, have high expectations and promote excellent behaviour. The nursery prioritises communication and language development, physical growth, and personal, social, and emotional development, offering a curriculum that blends Montessori principles with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
Children benefit from a variety of engaging physical activities, including an indoor trapeze and calm yoga sessions led by a yoga teacher. The setting also fosters a love of outdoor exploration, with opportunities for planting, imaginative play, and mud kitchen activities.
Parents consistently praise the staff for being caring and approachable, and the nursery maintains strong partnerships with families to support children's learning both at home and in the setting. Bubar Montessori Nursery operates term-time only, Monday to Friday, from 8:45 am to 2:45 pm, and accepts funded hours for 15 and 30 hours.
Our ethos
“To take the child on a voyage of discovery to enable them to fulfil their full potential”. The principles of Montessori are rooted in a social movement intended to champion the cause of all children, in all strata of society, of all races and ethnic backgrounds, within and beyond educational institutions. Education should no longer be mostly imparting knowledge, but must take a new path, seeking the release of human potentialities.
What it's like
Children are highly motivated to learn and are extremely happy and settled. Staff have high expectations and promote strong attitudes of good behaviour. Staff identify children's starting points and plan a mainly well-structured curriculum to ensure future success. Parents and carers describe staff as "caring" and "approachable". They value the open-door approach and the opportunities to share information about children's learning and experiences at home. As a result, children feel safe, develop confidence and enjoy their learning experiences.

Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
The report does not contain specific details about SEND provision beyond the general statement that the nursery provides funded early education for two-, three- and four-year-old children.
Outdoor space
Children benefit from exciting physical activities both indoors and outdoors. They can strengthen their muscles using the indoor trapeze, and a yoga teacher leads calm yoga sessions, praising children for their poses, listening to their breathing, and relaxing. Outdoor learning is an important part of the curriculum. Children plant herbs and flowers, explore the garden and engage in imaginative play, including construction and mud kitchen activities. Children balance beanbags on their heads, use wheeled toys, and build structures using large blocks and construction materials.
EAL / language support
Many children attending the setting speak languages other than English at home, such as Gujarati. Staff support children's communication in both English and their home language, occasionally using Gujarati to help children understand routines and instructions, which helps children settle quickly and develop confidence in communicating.
