Godalming Montessori Nursery School
Our aim is simply to give the best
possible start to pre-school children. The
Montessori approach takes as its cue the
natural curiosity which all children have
and to foster it though play to help them
discover the world.

Perhaps the first thing you will notice
about our school, apart from interesting
displays, is the special equipment which
the school contains. Most of these were
developed by Maria Montessori herself,
with the specific aim of engaging and
channelling a child’s attention and then
taking it just that little bit further.
That’s why the school has a calm and
unpressured atmosphere, which itself
leads to a delight in learning for its own
sake.

All this attention on a child as an individual might make a child self-centred if it were not
balanced by the importance we lay on shared living. Parents often notice, with Montessori
guidance, how responsible children become with their own things as well as their willingness to
share and help others.
