Montessori nurseries in London
296 nurseriesupdated November 2026
A Montessori nursery follows the approach developed by the Italian doctor and educator Maria Montessori: children choose their own activities from carefully prepared materials, work at their own pace for long stretches, and learn practical independence, with adults guiding rather than directing. In England every Montessori nursery must still follow the Early Years Foundation Stage and is inspected by Ofsted like any other. Read our guide: Montessori nurseries explained
