About this early years setting

Children Of The World Montessori School, established in September 1999, offers a nurturing educational environment located in St Mark’s Hall, Windsor. The school boasts a secure, gated entrance and ample parking, ensuring convenient drop-off and pick-up for families.

Within its grounds, children can explore an enclosed garden equipped with outdoor play apparatus and a climbing frame, fostering gross motor skill development. Additionally, a large gated area provides space for children to engage with cars and bikes, encouraging free exploration of the natural environment in a safe manner.

The interior features bright classrooms and a communal hall designed to promote freedom of movement and a warm, friendly atmosphere. A dedicated free-flow area allows for reading, chalkboard activities, and gardening.

The school also offers a "secret garden" for bug hunting or peaceful moments under the trees, further connecting children with nature. The school is led by its owners, Cheryl Clay and Alexis Hall, both Montessori-trained teachers, who, along with other Montessori-trained educators and teaching assistants, are committed to delivering a comprehensive Montessori education.

This approach aims to cultivate independence, confidence, concentration, and self-discipline in each child, preparing them thoroughly across various subjects for a seamless transition into primary education.
