Three pathways, one learning community

Written by Elizabeth, a 13 year old former pupil remembering Children's House.

Together we grow, each voice is heard. In our Montessori home, every child is heard, everyone loves school when the world feels right.

Preschool - A beautiful beginning to a lifelong love of learning

Our Montessori preschool provides a nurturing, stimulating environment for children aged 2-5. We lay the foundations for a positive educational journey, developing independence, confidence, curiosity and a genuine enjoyment of discovery. Our highly qualified teaching team takes time to understand each child, following their interests and supporting their individual developmental journey. Our ratio is one teacher to every four children. Click here for more information.

Home Education - A learning community, not a school

For home-educated children, Children's House offers opportunities to learn, explore and develop alongside others, without losing the flexibility and individuality that home education brings. Our provision brings together friendship, belonging, practical experiences, academic curiosity and outdoor learning. Children can access a rich variety of experiences while remaining part of a supportive learning community. Click here for more information.

Nurture Pathway - A different way forward

We recognise that mainstream education does not work for every child at every stage of their journey. Some children experience anxiety, emotional distress, difficulties with school attendance or circumstances that make returning to a traditional learning environment feel overwhelming. Our Nurture Pathway offers a gentle, part-time provision where children and families are met with understanding rather than expectations. We focus on emotional wellbeing, rebuilding trust, developing confidence and rediscovering the enjoyment of learning. Progress is individual, and every small step matters.

Our mission is simple:

To give every child the very best start to their educational journey, so they develop confidence, curiosity and a lifelong love of learning.

We achieve this through the renowned Montessori approach, combined with exceptional teaching, nurturing support and enriching experiences every day.

A Strong Community Feel

Children's House Montessori is more than a preschool - it is a caring community where children, parents and educators work together to help every child flourish.

We believe children learn best when they feel safe, valued, connected and part of something special.

Why Families Choose Us

Exceptional Staff Ratios & Qualified Teachers

We maintain a strict limit on places of no more than 20 children a session alongside a ratio of one qualified teacher for every 4 children. This means that every child receives the attention, encouragement and personalised support they deserve.

This allows us to provide:

• More individual attention
• Stronger relationships with the children, team and parents
• Better focus and learning outcomes
• A calmer, happier atmosphere
• Greater confidence for quieter children
• Personalised support for every stage of development

Families often choose us because we offer the personal feel that larger settings cannot.

Many of our team are fully qualified teachers in early years, primary and secondary, giving children the benefit of expert education in a unique caring environment.

We believe children thrive best in a calm, personal setting where they are truly known, valued and nurtured.
