Our new preschool is now open and welcoming children in Whetstone and Woodside Park. Whetstone Montessori Nursery London provides the best for your child in a warm and welcoming atmosphere designed to foster children's natural curiosity. 

 

Whetstone Montessori Nursery offers 15 hours of free early education and 30 hours of free early education for children from age 2 to 4 years old.

 

Talking about the Montessori method, the Maria Montessori Institute says:

  • Mixed-age groups provide opportunities for the children to develop their social abilities within a harmonious community.
  • Every child is a unique person with creative potential, the drive to learn and the right to be treated with respect as an individual.
  • Children must be given the freedom to work and move around, within guidelines that enable them to see themselves as independent and part of a group.
  • Children are encouraged to work at their own pace, either individually or in co-operation with others.

This unique method of learning by doing enables young children to develop confidence in their own abilities and to persist in the face of difficulty never giving up, a gift that will stay with them forever.

Under the expert guidance of Montessori childcare teachers who demonstrate how to discover the world through the use of specially made materials, the children quickly develop a sense of self confidence and self-esteem that will give them strength throughout their lives.
