About the Employer

We are an Ofsted registered Surrey-based nursery offering a child-friendly environment for children from 3 months to five-year-olds which follows the Montessori philosophy and ethos, encouraging independent learning through being able to make choices.

Each child has their own individual planning, which they work towards with the guidance of a trained practitioner.

Our nursery team provides a warm and inviting setting which helps children to settle quickly. We take care to get to know each child, bond with them and identify their strengths and areas that need scaffolding to support their progress.

We ensure that our children are well prepared for school has benefited from a range of well-directed learning opportunities that involve both practical and educational activities. This is supplemented with an environment that encourages children to explore and investigate their surroundings, allowing them the freedom to be inquisitive and develop their curiosity.

We also follow the Early Years Foundation Stage which was introduced in 2012 to ensure all children in Early Years settings are being offered the best chances of development. We have incorporated both the Montessori and EYFS philosophies and devised a formula that allows the child to develop as expected and beyond, whilst also allowing the children to be ‘School Ready’ when their time to be promoted to formal education comes.

We pride ourselves on building good partnerships with parents and carers promoting family values so that we can work together to support the children in their developmental journey through Walton Montessori Nursery.
