About this day nursery

The Grove Montessori Nursery, located in Wanstead, embraces the renowned Montessori philosophy to provide a stimulating and caring educational setting for children aged between 3 months and 5 years. The nursery focuses on fostering independence, curiosity, and compassion in its young learners.

Central to its approach is the concept of a 'prepared environment,' where classrooms are thoughtfully arranged with child-sized furniture and accessible, carefully selected Montessori materials that encourage exploration and hands-on learning. The curriculum emphasises sensorial development, helping children to refine their senses through engaging activities.

I have one daughter currently attending The Grove (for 18 months now) with my youngest daughter starting in November and I couldn’t be happier with my choice of nursery. They say “it takes a village to raise a child” and the staff at The Grove are my village. I would recommend to anyone in the area, you won’t be disappointed by the level of care your child receives.

My child attended The Grove Montessori Nursery in Wanstead two years ago and we had a truly wonderful experience. The staff were warm, professional and genuinely caring creating a nurturing environment where my child thrived. The Montessori approach really encouraged independence, confidence and a love of learning that we still see today. The setting was always calm, organised and full of engaging activities that supported both academic and emotional growth. Communication with parents was excellent, and we always felt involved and informed. I wholeheartedly recommend The Grove to any parent looking for a high-quality, caring and inspiring nursery for their child!
