Why Choose Buckingham Montessori?
We provide an exceptional early years experience that nurtures every child's unique potential through world-class care.
Montessori & EYFS
Our unique dual curriculum blends Montessori’s child-led discovery with the structure of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Your child benefits from both approaches, every day.
6 Unique Learning Spaces
From our cosy Nest for babies to our vibrant Butterfly Room for preschoolers — plus a dedicated Sensory Room and Studio Room — every space is designed to inspire.
Freshly Cooked Meals Daily
Our on-site kitchen holds an Environmental Health grade Five rating. Nutritious, balanced meals prepared fresh every day — with four of your child’s five-a-day included.
Four Beautiful Gardens
Climbing frames, balance beams, mud kitchens, canopied all-weather areas, and sand and water stations. Children enjoy free-flow access to outdoor learning throughout the day.
Life at Buckingham Montessori
Every day is an adventure — from messy play to mealtimes, here are the moments that make our nursery special.
See the World Through Their Eyes
Our teachers and children wore POV cameras for the day. Press play to experience a real day at Buckingham Montessori — the laughter, the learning, the magic.
Two perspectives. One extraordinary nursery. See exactly what your child's day looks like.
Our Philosophy
At Buckingham Montessori, we believe every child is a natural learner. Our approach draws on Maria Montessori's philosophy — where children learn through hands-on discovery at their own pace — alongside the Early Years Foundation Stage, which ensures every child meets key developmental milestones.
“The activities are set up in a way that children are learning without realising they're learning. It's fun. They enjoy the activities and they learn from the environment.
The result? Children who are independent, curious, confident, and ready for school and for life.
