Nurturing Individual Growth

In partnership with parents, we create a happy, safe, and nurturing environment where each child is treated as an individual and encouraged to develop at their own pace and truly flourish.

Encouraging Curiosity and Independence

By providing a wide range of stimulating resources and learning experiences, the children develop curiosity, self-confidence, and independence. We foster each child’s love of learning and discovery by teaching skills and encouraging good learning habits.

Building Resilience and Self-Esteem

Through opportunities to do things for themselves and experience the joy of achievement, we enable the children to acquire knowledge and new skills, develop resilience and build self-esteem. We aim to provide an environment where each child can thrive and achieve their potential, establishing a secure foundation for future schooling.

Mrs K

It's the best nursery you could possibly find!

Mr & Mrs B-S

I cannot recommend this Montessori highly enough to any parent looking for the very best for their child and in a loving context.

Mr Bhatti

My daughter is learning new things every day, I love the fact that she’s involved in so many different activities from the life cycle of a butterfly to sprouting a seed and watching it grow into a plant.

Mr & Mrs Gusul

A fantastic start for your child with a highly motivated and friendly teaching team.

Mr & Mrs Montgomery

The Pavilion Montessori School is unlike any nursery we have found. It has a unique and nurturing approach to learning and our daughter has thrived there. The teachers are all kind, knowledgeable and supportive, following the child’s interests on a daily basis. The free-flow layout of the space supports this and truly allows the child to learn at their pace.

Mrs Cody

It is a wonderful nurturing environment with very longstanding teachers who are devoted to the children. My two both loved the Pavilion and it set them up beautifully for starting school. I’ve also made lifelong friends with other likeminded parents. Couldn’t recommend more.

Mrs D

The Pavilion Montessori offers a nurturing and enriching environment. The staff is dedicated and attentive. As an educator myself, I highly recommend the Pavilion Montessori to any parent seeking a high-quality early childhood education for their child.

Mrs Erdem

From the moment we set foot inside The Pavilion we knew it was "The One!". Our walls at home are adorned with beautiful artwork, our dinner time is full of tales about their mornings and there have been so many magical moments when they proudly reveal what they have learnt at school, from suddenly counting to 10 in French to reading car number plates! Magical things happen inside The Pavilion walls!

Dr and Mrs Carvell

I couldn't recommend the Pavilion enough. It's a wonderful nursery, my daughter is so happy there, she has learned so much since starting. The teachers are wonderful, the location is beautiful, the variety of activities for the children is brilliant. We couldn't be happier!

Mr & Mrs Churchill

The Pavilion Montessori is an outstanding school in my opinion. The setting is really well equipped but what really stands out is the quality of the teaching. The teachers are extremely attentive and caring and the safeguarding is also excellent.

Emma Cuthbert

This pre-school is outstanding and unparalleled in every way. It is fully committed to Montessori principles and there is a focus on learning and structure that brings out the best in the children who attend. Highly experienced Head, Susan Dann, clearly leads with passion and dedication and has created a warm, supportive and nurturing environment where children clearly thrive.
