About our Montessori
Our Montessori offers a unique approach to learning that focuses on fostering a child's independence, creativity, and critical thinking skills.
We support learning through a structured but child-led environment that encourages engagement with the natural world around them, whilst developing practical life skills.
Supporting your child
Itchen Valley Montessori has a team of dedicated longstanding teachers who are qualified and fully DBS checked. They also undertake a full programme of professional development to keep up to date with current practice, and most importantly the team have a passion for education and excellence.
​
Each child has their own "key person" who is focussed on working with you and meeting your child's individual needs. We also work as a close-knit team and strive to forge mutually trusting and respectful relationships with all parents.
We operate an open door policy with regards to communication and the sharing of information relating to your child's welfare and personal circumstances. We believe this is the best way to support your child, and as such, we strive to provide the opportunity for informal and more formal, confidential conversations each day.
We have a system that allows us to email parents photographs and observations of your child’s time with us, and we also encourage parents to contribute to their children’s records on a regular basis.
Our facilities
Indoor
Our primary indoor space provides us with room to have multiple learning and exploratory activities set up for the children. We also have access to a fully equipped kitchen, that we use to explore cooking and baking with the children.
Outdoor
We have direct access to a large, enclosed garden that is fully secure. The garden features a climbing frame and our own area to grow plants. We also have an outdoor classroom that provides the children with access sand and water play.
The Hall
In addition to our dedicated indoor Montessori space, we also make use of the large main hall for certain planned activities such as Zumba and Moo Music.
