The Montessori method is a teaching environment that involves creating an educational curriculum
that stems from the individual child′s natural inner guidance.

Baldersby Park Montessori believes that children learn through their senses, these being, Smell, Taste, Touch, Hearing and Vision.

We aim to build independence and learning by giving the children the ability to access their own activities. This allows each child to express their own individual preferences and interests in line with The Montessori ethos.

My children have & continue to love Baldersby Park Montessori. It is a friendly, warm & nurturing environment, teaching children so very much alongside a lot of play. No nursery in the area comes anywhere near what Mrs Jackson offers.

Since Iona joined Baldersby Park Montessori Nursery, she has thrived both socially and educationally. She has become a confident little girl who walks into nursery with a massive smile on her face and just loves her time there.

We were so worried sending our little boy to nursery at 9 months, but we had nothing to worry about! Mrs Jackson and the team have made it so easy for us and we know he’s happy and in safe hands. We get regular updates on his development and have noticed a huge difference in his skills, social and practical, since he started his two days a week at Baldersby Park. We’re so pleased and love his nursery family.

The best thing about Baldersby Park Montessori Nursery School is that the team (including CoCo) makes our daughter really really happy. This allows her to learn and develop quickly. The culture of the nursery gives her the values and beliefs we want to her have. We would always recommend Baldersby Park for early years learning and development.
