Description

This class is created and guided by a teacher from our Montessori nursery schools and is a gentle introduction to a classroom setting. Each child has the freedom to choose from a variety of carefully planned activities and Montessori materials. Our Montessori teacher observes the children’s development throughout the term and in response to this, new materials are made available in the second half of the term to allow enough time to gain familiarity with each activity. This helps to build on what the children have been working on and to provide new opportunities to extend the child’s learning.  More regular changes in the classroom are made through the themed mark making and imaginary play stations. The children work independently, guided by our teachers and each activity encourages the child’s development. You will see the classroom transform throughout the term as the children develop their independence and practice their concentration skills. This class is perfect preparation for Nursery School, providing the building blocks for future learning.

Classroom Setup: The same as in our Montessori nursery classrooms activities are stationed on shelves around the room and the children are encouraged to return the activity back to the shelf before selecting a new one. Work mats are available for floor based activities.

  • My daughter has been attending the Baby Moves & Music classes, and both she and I have loved them. She has loved meeting other babies and slowly interacting with them, whilst I have loved to see my daughter flourish with the independence that these classes encourage in our children. The singing is always fun and the little duckies are a huge hit - we can’t wait for our class every week!

  • B enjoys the classes so much that she often keeps singing the songs she learnt at Paint Pots throughout the day. She was thrilled by the idea of having a snack with other children whilst sitting in a circle. I could see her confidence growing and sense of belonging increasing after each class. Miss Priscilla and Miss Nadia are just brilliant.

  • Both my daughters have had such a special time at Paint Pots. Thank you for all that you do, and all the happy memories – I will always cherish circle time singing all the beautiful Paint Pots songs, and seeing all the positive influence you have had on my children’s development.

  • We have been so happy for R to be at Paint Pots. The teachers have all been very kind and patient with R and really helped him settle in and gain confidence as a result.

  • I know that we will have fond memories of our happy days at Paint Pots, from those first wonderful classes in The Boltons, to the cheerful daily school life C enjoys now.

    Hannah, mother of C aged 3 years old
  • Thank you so much for the wonderful time that you gave my daughter A over the Summer Fun camp. It has been absolutely brilliant for her - A was completely comfortable with your staff and the other children from Day 1. The welcoming and calm atmosphere you create is absolutely amazing, and she was reluctant to leave at the end of each day! She woke up looking forward to it the next day, and since the end of the programme she has missed going every day

  • V loved the Sensorial Explorers class - it was the perfect introduction to a Montessori experience, fostering independence through play. He especially adored the music sessions at the end of each class.

  • Paint Pots is an inspiringly supportive and open environment, where our daughter’s development has been a joy both to observe and discuss calmly with the caring, gentle and non-judgmental staff.
