About this early years setting

Twinkle Stars Montessori Nursery, established for over 15 years, is an accredited Montessori setting that prioritises the individual development of each child. They aim to nurture, challenge, and treat every child with respect, fostering their unique personality.

The nursery offers various services tailored to different age groups, from infants to 5-year-olds, focusing on sensory exploration, motor skills, independent interaction, and the development of confidence and self-reliance. Their approach is rooted in Montessori principles, encouraging children to make choices and learn autonomously, while also integrating the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum.

This blend provides a comprehensive learning environment, complemented by extra-curricular activities, to support cognitive, emotional, and physical growth. The nursery also emphasizes a culture of tolerance, inclusion, diversity, equality, fairness, and opportunity for both children and staff, promising a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment where children are valued and families are partnered with.

Our ethos

The Montessori ethos allows children to gain a sense of challenge as they develop in each learning step. Children are not afraid of making mistakes, they are encouraged to see them as natural steps in their learning process, thus promoting independence and confidence whilst enjoying new challenges. At Twinkle Stars Montessori Nursery, we promise to provide a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment where every child is valued as an individual. We are committed to following true Montessori principles—encouraging independence, building confidence, and fostering a lifelong love of learning.
