About this day nursery

The Rugby Montessori Nursery School, located in Rugby, provides a nurturing and stimulating environment for children aged 6 months to 5 years. Embracing the Montessori method, the nursery focuses on individualised learning, encouraging children to explore, discover, and develop at their own pace.

The dedicated team fosters a happy and secure atmosphere, prioritising each child's unique needs and promoting their well-being. The curriculum emphasises practical life skills, sensorial exploration, mathematics, and language development within a thoughtfully prepared environment.

The nursery values strong partnerships with parents and the wider community, aiming to offer rich opportunities for all children. This commitment extends to building trusting relationships and ensuring children are safe, happy, and healthy as they prepare for primary school.

It is our aim to provide a happy and caring environment, where each child is treated as an individual and made to feel secure and valued.

At The Rugby and The Dunchurch Montessori Nursery we provide a place for our little ones to play, learn and discover, whilst building trusting relationships and keeping them safe, happy and healthy.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders provide highly effective support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They work closely with key persons, families, and outside professionals to create tailored support plans that meet each child's needs. Staff use consistent strategies, such as visual timetables, signing, and specifically designed sensory areas so children understand routines and feel secure. They adapt activities and the environment so every child can take part and make progress alongside their peers.

Outdoor space

Leaders changed outdoor playtimes to when younger babies have more energy. Staff create indoor and outdoor spaces that inspire exploration and independence. Outdoors, staff join in children's role-play scenarios to practise crossing roads safely, reinforcing how to stop, look and listen.

An incredibly caring nursery setting. The staff are genuinely invested in helping little ones grow and develop. Alongside the Montessori activities they have drama tots come in to do sessions which my little boy loved. Lots of practical skills taught as well as supporting with reading, writing and maths. The pre school rooms have fully prepared my little one for school. I couldn’t recommend more!
