Tailored for your child

Montessori House

At Montessori House, as we dearly call it, the child is at the heart of everything we do; we truly embrace Montessori philosophy as a whole, which enables us to provide a unique and holistic learning experience. Our firm belief in every child as an individual with their own interests and abilities makes our setting tailored to cater to each child’s needs.

We want our children to be self-motivated, self-disciplined, confident, inquisitive and explorative; we also want them to learn to truly express themselves, be inclusive and feel included, be able to recognise and talk about emotions, as well as work through any problems that might arise and find solutions. Our aim is to nurture children who are not only academically competent but also socially and emotionally skilled to thrive.

Our setting is made to be an extension of their home, where our professionals are part of a little democratic community, with the children and their families at its heart, working to create an environment of freedom within appropriate boundaries and mutual respect. Its warm and comfortable atmosphere helps the children feel safe both inside and outdoors.

The mixed-age environment provides our children with opportunities to work and play together. The younger children learn from watching the older ones, who in turn, guide and nurture the younger ones, allowing them to learn and gain from each other.

As an Ofsted registered setting, eligible parents and carers are able to claim childcare payment money back from the government, likewise we are able to accept free childcare hours for two, three and four year-olds.

Learning Indoors

The environment is thoughtfully designed and encompasses various areas of learning, in which the children are free to explore at their own pace:

Linguistic

Children explore phonics and language, enabling them to communicate effectively and express themselves

Mathematics

Here mathematical concepts, numbers and quantities are introduced in a hands-on and engaging way, laying a strong foundation for their mathematical understanding in the future

Cultura

This fascinating area delves into topics based around geography, biology, and science, encouraging children to broaden their horizons and explore the world around them.

Sensorial Section

Through sensory apparatus and activities, children hone their senses, fostering a deeper understanding of the world they live in.

Creative corner

In this space, children express themselves through art and crafts. The emphasis is placed on the process rather than the end product, promoting a sense of accomplishment and self-worth.

Practical life

Children engage in tasks that develop their fine motor skills and concentration. Here they also help with the day to day tasks that give them a sense of independence, such as preparing food and cleaning up after.

Learning Outdoors

We take great pride in our beautiful outdoor space – it is small but its impact is huge. Here children participate in gardening, bush craft, cooking, and various outdoor activities regardless of the weather (after all there is no such thing as bad weather only inappropriate clothing!)

Childen have an enormous role in creating and caring for this space, which instils a sense of pride and responsibility and a real appreciation for the environment.

Diversity and Inclusivity

Our setting is a reflection of the diverse community it serves, welcoming children from various ethnicities and backgrounds.

We have children who speak different languages and we celebrate different cultures and beliefs together. We want everyone to feel important for who they are!

Our dedicated and experienced practitioners also come from diverse backgrounds, bringing a wealth of expertise to the setting.

Preparing for Life Beyond Montessori

As the early years are crucial in their formative process, Manchester Montessori House approach assures to help children be prepared to progress to the next phase of their educational journey, whether it’s state or private school, studying abroad or Elective Home Education.

We aim to help children shape themselves into individuals who are able to meet challenges and overcome obstacles, thriving in all they do.
… And we think that is special!
