Dr. Maria Montessori was a pioneer in the education of young children and founded the Montessori method. She believed children have sensitive periods — times when a child absorbs a particular kind of knowledge almost effortlessly. Her approach has shaped early years learning for over a century and sits at the heart of every Blue Nest classroom across Harrow, Pinner and Borehamwood.
A Montessori nursery environment is carefully designed to respond to a child’s developmental needs and gives them the maximum opportunity to lead their own learning. We blend Montessori with the UK EYFS framework so children meet every early-years milestone alongside the deeper independence, focus and language that Montessori is known for.
