St. Margaret's Montessori is dedicated to providing high levels of care and support, ensuring children feel secure and valued from the moment they arrive.

Our ethos We believe that when your child walks through the threshold of one of our nurseries, you should know they are in a place where they will receive the highest levels of care, attention and support. At our St Margarets Montessori Nursery School, we share a strong vision for Montessori education, led by a very experienced staff team and rooted in Montessori Education. In our carefully prepared environment, children are encouraged to explore, question and discover, building confidence, concentration, and a love of learning. Claudia’s philosophy centres on the belief that every person has unique qualities that no one else possesses, and that through thoughtful guidance and opportunity, adults can help children realise their strengths, build confidence, and develop the self-esteem to contribute meaningfully to the world around them.
