About Montessori Day Nursery
Get a feel for the place before you visit.
A Montessori day nursery on Farnhurst Road in Washwood Heath. Inside there's a bright, open-plan activity room with cosy reading and home corners; outside, a large play area with a mud kitchen, water play, a music wall, a playhouse and trikes. Children learn through hands-on Montessori activities, small-group music and role play, with time outdoors every day.
Our ethos
Our ethos is to provide a warm, welcoming and inclusive environment where every child feels safe, valued and respected. We recognise that children learn and develop at their own pace, and we support each child's individual interests, needs and abilities.
We believe in fostering independence, encouraging children to make choices, explore their surroundings and develop confidence through meaningful experiences. Positive relationships, mutual respect and a strong partnership with families are central to our practice.

Funding & help with costs
Funded childcare
Montessori Day Nursery takes these government-funded hours.
- 15 hours for eligible 2-year-olds
15 funded hours a week for 2-year-olds whose families get certain benefits or support, or who are looked after or have an EHC plan.
How to get it: Check with your local council whether your child qualifies. - 15 hours for all 3 and 4-year-olds
Every 3 and 4-year-old in England gets 15 funded hours a week (570 hours a year), from the term after their third birthday. There's no income check.
How to get it: Tell the nursery you'd like to use your child's funded hours. - 30 hours for working families
Working parents can get 30 funded hours a week from when their child is 9 months old until they start school, if each parent earns at least about 16 hours a week at the minimum wage and less than £100,000 a year.
How to get it: Apply on GOV.UK, then give the nursery your 11-digit code and renew it every 3 months.
Funded hours usually cover 38 weeks a year. Nurseries can charge for meals, nappies, trips or extra hours, so ask what's included.
