Montessori Philosophy
Maria Montessori was born in Italy in 1870 and devoted her life to the study of children throughout the world. She graduated from the University of Rome Medical School in 1896 becoming one of the first female Italian physicians.
Maria Montessori innovated the Montessori approach to education, which is focused on "following the interests of the child". The Montessori method, philosophy and materials help satisfy the natural tendency of children to follow their own interests. She believed that everyone learns differently, and at their own pace; she created a home-like setting; a prepared environment, to accommodate and stimulate the individual interests of children. As children actively explore the classroom, a focus is placed on process, rather than product, and children develop a sense of order, independence, and concentration, as they participate in a community of learners.
The Montessori method has successfully been practised for over a century. Here, at Little Acorns, we strive to cultivate each child’s natural desire to learn and to foster their natural curiosity and love of knowledge.

What Our Parents Say
My daughter attended Little Acorns Montessori Nursery when she was 10 months old, and our experience was truly remarkable. The settling-in sessions were initially challenging, as she was still very young, but the teachers' exceptional care and patience helped her settle in, which was a great relief for me as a parent.
As she transitioned to the bigger class, the move was handled smoothly, with the teachers ensuring that she continued to feel secure in her new environment. She developed remarkably well at Little Acorns Montessori, thanks to the unique and engaging activities the teachers provided. She learned a lot and was always excited to participate in various programs.
Whenever I had concerns, I found the communication with the teachers and Abby to be excellent. They listened attentively and resolved any issues promptly. Overall, I am very happy with my daughter's time at Little Acorns Montessori Nursery. I would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their little one.
My daughter Eliza attended this nursery, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! The teachers were incredibly friendly and supportive, creating such a warm and welcoming environment. They even went above and beyond to help with potty training, which was a huge relief for me as a parent. By the time my daughter left, she was not only confident in her social skills but was also able to read and write, which truly impressed me. I highly recommend this nursery for any parent looking for a nurturing and educational space for their child.
My daughter was attending this nursery for a year and really enjoyed her time there. The staff are amazing, they are kind and caring and provide a nurturing environment for the children. My daughter loved all the staff including the lovely cook who made fresh home cooked meals. My daughter loved the food and was able to eat independently. The setting is clean and spacious and there is a lovely garden area to play in. The children are encouraged to develop their independence with support. My daughter has flourished so much in this environment and we felt included in the nursery family. There are opportunities for parents to attend the nursery for special events which was lovely and well planned.
The pre school stage was great. I liked the ethos as the children need to wear a uniform which is preparing them for the next stage. My daughter takes pride in her appearance and likes to look smart. This was encouraged by the nursery staff which I appreciate. I also appreciated that my daughter was always clean at the end of the day as the staff made an effort to wipe their faces.
There was a lot of learning through play, my daughter enjoyed all the singing and dancing. She was part of the tappy toes class in the nursery setting. I saw lots of evidence of my daughter developing her early years learning and throughly enjoyed seeing these achievements. I can't thank the teachers and staff enough. I really appreciate them for going the extra mile to ensure my daughter felt safe and happy. I would highly recommend any parent to consider this nursery for their children as it is a great setting to start their journey. Thank you Lil Acorns, we will keep in contact and look forward to attending the holiday clubs.
My daughter and I cried when it was time to say goodbye to all the nursery staff. This is an amazing and magical place where your child will be surrounded by care, attention and lots of love. Thanks to all the staff, my daughter can now write, read and do many other things completely independently. I highly recommend Little Acorns pre school and nursery and be sure your children are in the best place! Thank you all once again
