WHAT WE OFFER
Hummingbirds Montessori Nursery offers outstanding Early Years education for children from 2.5 to 5 years old on a term time basis.
From Monday to Thursday we hold our morning Montessori sessions where children are encouraged to explore the educational materials from our prepared indoor environment and the various activities available in the garden - mud kitchen, log climbing, vegetable patch, etc. Children are invited to prepare a healthy snack buffet that their friends will enjoy throughout the morning. Teachers follow the children's interests and learning and provide them with activities and guidance that respond to their needs.
Children can stay for lunch - lunch box needs to be provided by the carer - and attend the afternoon clubs until 3pm.
Friday is our special outdoor session: inspired from the Forest School ethos, the children explore nature based activities and have an outdoor warm snack. They can also attend a Playball session with Kingston Playball.
Families are invited to come in for special events such as diversity breakfast and are welcome to come and share their own interest, passion and culture with the children.
