Welcome to British Oak Montessori Nursery

We would like to welcome you to British Oak Montessori, a Nursery School. Our journey began in 1993 in West Hampstead in London, England and has blossomed ever since.

Our Nurseries combine play with learning following the Modern Montessori Method of education. The children in our Montessori nurseries enjoy all the activities of a traditional nursery, outdoor play, indoor play, creativity, songs, stories and role play. The children have unlimited access to internationally approved Montessori equipment on easy-to-reach shelves, giving them freedom of choice to choose their own activities under the careful observation of dedicated and qualified Montessori staff.

Teachers within our Montessori nurseries aim to assist the children in their day- to-day knowledge and understanding, not just by teaching them but by showing them the enjoyment and significance of each task completed. Teachers at British Oak Montessori are devoted to the care and development of each and every child, observing their work and individually introducing new challenges when the child is ready.

British Oak Montessori aims to nurture children into strong and independent individuals through positive relationships created and strengthened through our Nursery. Our ethos is to keep children happy, safe, confident, independent and learning in an enabling environment.

These are namely:   Practical Life, Sensorial, Language and Literature, Mathematics, Culture, Arts and Crafts, Music, and Physical Activities…
