First Steps Montessori Day Nursery

About this day nursery

First Steps Montessori Day Nursery, located in a charming semi-detached Victorian house, provides a nurturing Montessori learning environment for children aged 13 months to 5 years. Open 50 weeks a year, the nursery creates a warm and homely atmosphere where each child is known and comfortable.

The facility is thoughtfully arranged across two floors with three classrooms, each designed to support developmental needs. Class 1 caters to 13 to 24-month-olds in a calm, small group setting, focusing on sensory exploration and independence.

Class 2, for 2 to 3-year-olds, offers free-flow access to a garden and encourages independence through practical life activities and language enrichment. Class 3 is a traditional Montessori classroom for 3 to 5-year-olds, providing free-flow access to an extended outdoor environment and focusing on mathematics, literacy, cultural studies, art, and nature.

The nursery emphasizes strong parent partnerships to ensure a positive and meaningful experience for every child, fostering curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning through hands-on experiences and self-directed activities.
