East Lane Montessori Nursery & Pre-School

🎨🌸 Learning Through Creativity! 🌸🎨

Our children explored colour mixing by combining red and white to create pink, then used their new colour to paint parts of our outdoor area.

At East Lane Montessori, we encourage children to paint on walls, tyres, and outdoor surfaces, helping them understand that creativity is not limited to paper.

These hands-on experiences develop gross motor skills, confidence, and a deeper understanding of learning through real-life exploration.

💗 Learning, creating, and discovering every day!

Children flourish when they have the freedom to choose. Our daily routine allows free flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, giving your child the opportunity to explore, create and discover in ways that feel natural to them 🌞

🌟 Teachers Are Role Models 🌟

At East Lane Montessori, we believe that children learn best by observing positive role models. Our teachers lead by example, nurturing confidence, independence, and a love for learning every day.

One of the most rewarding moments is seeing our children take charge of sessions themselves. Through guidance and encouragement, they develop the confidence to lead activities, make decisions, and share their knowledge with their peers.

By empowering children to take ownership of their learning, we help them build essential life skills, self-belief, and a strong sense of responsibility.

Watching our young learners grow into confident and independent individuals is what Montessori education is all about. 💛

The environment plays a huge role in how your child feels each day. Our calm, carefully prepared spaces are designed to promote focus, independence and a sense of belonging. Everything has purpose, and everything is accessible to your child 🌼

Good habits start early - and we love helping children learn them! 🍽️

At nursery, we teach children important daily routines like tidying up, washing up and caring for their environment. Through fun, hands-on activities, songs and role-play, children practice these habits in a way that’s engaging and memorable.

These routines build independence, confidence and understanding of how to look after themselves every day.

Creativity blooms in every corner of our nursery! 🎨

Our facilities combine the best of the EYFS and Montessori approaches, giving children structured learning alongside freedom to explore. We also design and experiment with homemade activities that spark imagination, encouraging creativity for both children and our staff. Every day is full of curiosity, discovery and hands-on fun.

🍋🍊 Our 2-year-olds enjoyed learning about healthy and unhealthy drinks during lunchtime discussions and explored how sugary drinks can damage our teeth.

Inspired by children sharing homemade lemonade experiences, we made fresh lemonade together! 🥤✨

Children washed lemons and oranges, explored the smells of lemon and mint, and enjoyed tasting their refreshing drinks. They learned new words like “tangy” and “sweet” while developing fine motor skills through cutting, squeezing, and mixing. 🌿💛

🍓🍌 Summer Smoothie Fun! 🍉🥭

Our children had a wonderful time making delicious smoothies using a variety of fresh fruits. The classroom was transformed into a special Smoothie Shop set up by the teacher, where children enjoyed exciting role-play activities.

Being part of your child’s day has never been easier. 💛

Through our parent app, Blossom, we share diary timelines of your child’s activities so you can celebrate all those golden moments. We also invite parents to get involved in nursery life through coffee mornings, social events and workshops on topics like language development and behaviour management.

These opportunities help you feel connected, supported and confident in guiding your child’s growth at home and at nursery.
