Little Explorers Montessori Nursery

About this day nursery

Little Explorers Montessori Nursery, located in Cambridge and a short walk from the train station, provides a nurturing and stimulating environment for children aged 1 to 5 years. The nursery embraces the Montessori philosophy, believing that each child is unique and benefits from learning at their own pace within mixed-age groups.

This approach allows younger children to observe and be inspired by older peers, while older children reinforce their skills and build self-confidence by acting as role models. The nursery prioritises a close partnership between staff and families, ensuring children are well-supported in small group settings.

Play is central to their practice, fostering enjoyable learning and development. They aim to create a welcoming and comfortable space where preschool children and their families feel happy and secure.
