...UNIQUE AND INSPIRING...
"Barnes Montessori has given our children the most caring,
constructive and nurturing start in life. The dedication, enthusiasm and
support shown by Anne-Marie True and the team is unique and inspiring.
We feel very fortunate to have had Barnes Montessori in our lives".
(Lucy Mason-Pearson)
...CONFIDENT, HAPPY CHILDREN...
"We cannot recommend Barnes Montessori highly enough. We have four
children and have been parents at the nursery for almost ten years now!
Our children are all very different but without exception, they have all
been incredibly happy and flourished during their time there. The
teachers are highly trained and experienced, with a commitment to the
children that is outstanding. They work incredibly hard and create a
secure and welcoming environment where the children quickly learn that
everything is interesting. All the children at the nursery are
encouraged to develop their skills using the Montessori equipment and
approach so that they develop great confidence and independence. Our
children mainly started nursery as fairly quiet, shy and uncertain and
left as confident, happy children who enjoyed learning and taking part.
Without doubt, Barnes Montessori gave the children the best possible
foundation for starting school and the next stage of their education -
but nothing was ever as much fun as nursery!" (Rotha Bell)
A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF THE MONTESSORI APPROACH...
"What an amazing achievement reaching 40 years! However, it is no
surprise to me that the Barnes Montessori Nursery has enjoyed such
enduring success. I have been privileged to be a parent of children
attending the school for the last 9 years with the youngest of our 4
children currently there. The school that Anne-Marie True has
established is outstanding; a wonderful example of the Montessori
approach taught by a team of longstanding, committed and inspiring
professionals. All my children have adored going to school there from as
early as the first week, taking their first steps as independent little
people in the most nurturing, loving, stimulating and fun environment I
could want for them. Their happiness is the ultimate accolade. Fabulous
at forty ....!" (Karen Moore)
DEDICATED TO THE WELL-BEING AND HAPPINESS OF EACH CHILD
"Both my children, who are now 10 and 8, still talk about the happy
time they had at the Barnes Montessori, and my son says he would have
been content to have stayed there for the rest of his school career! All
the teachers are clearly dedicated to the well being and happiness of
each child, something that appeared so evident in the calm happy faces
of both the children and parents alike. My little girl who has special
needs was immediately embraced by the nursery and made to feel very
special indeed, she basked in the teachers care and attention and Anne-
Marie True and some of the teachers went out of their way to attend a
Makaton signing course with us, which they went on to teach the other
children, performing their nativity play with songs and Makaton signing.
I would not hesitate to recommend this Montessori nursery to anyone who
wants a gentle and caring start for their childrens education. "
