INTRODUCTION

We are a welcoming, approachable and caring nursery school.
We are proud and dedicated to bringing out the best and full potential in
every individual child. We achieve this through our Montessori approach
providing a warm, friendly, secure and stimulating environment for the
children in our care. The school prides itself on its happy, homely and
stimulating atmosphere.
The children are guided in their learning and
development and are free to work at their own pace. In this way the
children learn to discipline themselves without interference.
Consequently they become more independent and build on self-esteem and
confidence.
The Montessori Approach has been tried and tested worldwide
for over 100 years. Maria Montessori's legacy is growing all the time
and there to stay. We are proud to practise this unique approach and
foster the child's development.
Pre-school years are important formative
years. We use the Montessori curriculum which is holistic. It is at the
heart of everything we do and is delivered in conjunction with the
statutory Early Years Foundation Stage Document. It is planned to
provide for all areas of a child's learning and development. Barnes
Montessori Nursery is a wonderful place for children to grow and
develop.
We believe in mutual respect and in encouraging friendly and
considerate manners towards all other children and adults.
We hope their
experience with us, as individuals, will benefit them for the rest of
their lives, as we are heartened to know it has helped hundreds of
children in the past.
