What We Offer

Hummingbirds Montessori Nursery in Kingston offers inspiring Early Years education for children aged 2½–5 on a term-time basis. Rooted in the Montessori philosophy and guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), we help children grow in independence, confidence, and curiosity.

 

From Monday to Thursday, children enjoy hands-on Montessori learning in our beautifully prepared indoor classroom and enormous outdoor space.

​

Inside the classroom, children move freely between activities at their own pace, engaging with all areas of the curriculum - from practical life skills and early mathematics, to language, creativity, and understanding the world. Outdoors, they delight in our mud kitchen, log climbing, vegetable patch, and digging pit, developing physical confidence, curiosity, and teamwork. Children also prepare and share a healthy snack buffet, fostering responsibility and social skills.

​

Our experienced teachers carefully observe and respond to each child’s interests and needs, offering gentle guidance and extending learning through meaningful activities.

 

On Fridays, our Forest School-inspired outdoor sessions bring nature to the heart of learning, with woodland themed activities, a warm snack, and a Playball session hosted by Kingston Playball.

 

Families are central to life at Hummingbirds. We celebrate together with events such as our Diversity Breakfast, Sports Day, and summer picnic, and warmly invite parents to share their own cultures, interests, and talents with the children.

Afternoons at Hummingbirds

At Hummingbirds Montessori School, children who wish to stay for the afternoon enjoy a relaxed and social lunch together. Families provide a packed lunch from home, which the children share either around our long dining table in the winter months, or outdoors on picnic blankets under the shade of the trees in our spacious garden during the summer.

 

After lunch, children can either be collected at 1.30pm or they can extend their day with our enriching afternoon clubs. These extra-curricular activities are carefully designed to complement our Montessori approach and the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), offering children the chance to discover new passions and skills:

 

  • Monday – Music: exploring rhythm, song, and creativity

  • Tuesday – Tennis: developing coordination, teamwork, and confidence

  • Wednesday – Dance: encouraging self-expression and confidence through movement

  • Thursday – Art: inspiring imagination and hands-on creativity 

 

These sessions provide a wonderful balance of structured activities and free exploration, supporting each child’s all-round development in our joyful, nurturing environment.
