ABOUT US

Every family has a story. We’d love to become part of yours.

Choosing a nursery, is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make as a parent, and we never forget the trust families place in us.

Since opening in 2001, Viewpark Montessori Nursery has been built on one simple belief - that every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and excited to come through our doors each day.

We’re proud to be a family-run nursery where relationships come first. We take the time to really get to know every children and every family because no two journeys are ever the same. Whether we’re supporting a child through a difficult stage or sharing those proud “I did it!” moments, we’re privileged to be part of each family’s story.

Don’t just take our word for it

The kind words we receive from families regularly mention the same things - our caring staff, the relationships we build, the support we offer and the genuine happiness their children feel when they’re here. Those are the things we’re proudest of because they’re what matter most.

  • A truly exceptional nursery… I can’t recommend Viewpark Montessori enough!

  • The staff are so lovely, helpful and kind. They have taken time to listen to our daughter’s needs… We’ve felt so lucky that she has been in safe hands.

  • I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough… The staff consistently display an incredible level of passion, commitment and genuine care. They don’t just mind the children; they truly invest in them.

  • Skye is naturally quite shy and can take a little while to come out of her shell, but she absolutely loves all the nursery ladies… It’s been amazing for us to watch Skye grow in confidence and develop throughout her time at Viewpark Montessori.

  • My children settled well in every room of the nursery and had great bonds with their keyworkers and other staff members… Two of my children who are now in Primary school still talk about things they done in nursery with their ladies and will often ask to come along and see everyone again.

Our approach

Inspired by Montessori - Shaped by children

Although Montessori remains part of our name, we’re not a traditional Montessori nursery.

When Nursery Principal Kirsten Brady took over the nursery in 2005, she chose to keep many of the Montessori values that have stood the test of time - encouraging independence, curiosity, respect, and hands-on-learning - whilst giving us the freedom to embrace new ideas and evolve alongside the children in our care.

Every generation is different, and children’s needs continue to change. We believe it’s our responsibility to keep learning too. By combining the best of Montessori with modern early years practice, we’re able to create an environment that supports every child as an individual and prepares them for today’s world.

  • Independence

  • Curiosity

  • Respect

  • Hands-on learning

More than a Nursery

Families often tell us that Viewpark Montessori Nursery feels different, and that’s the greatest compliment we could ever receive.

Over the years we’ve seen friendships that started in our playrooms continue long after children have moved on to school. Parents who first met at nursery now meet for coffee, celebrate birthdays together and continue supporting one another. We’ve welcomed siblings, cousins, neighbours, and friends, with many families recommending us to the people who matter most to them.

For us, nursery has never just been about childcare. It’s about creating a community where children feel they belong, and families know they’re supported every step of the way.

That’s what we mean when we talk about our nursery family.

It’s also why so many of our own team have trusted us with their own children, nieces, nephews and grandchildren. When the people who know us best choose Viewpark Montessori for their own families, we think that says everything about the environment we’ve created together.

Our Nursery Family

One of the things we’re most proud of isn’t something you can measure.

It’s the friendships that begin here.

Children who start school together after years of growing up side by side. Parents who meet at nursery and become lifelong friends. Brothers, sisters, cousins, neighbours, and friends who all become part of the Viewpark Montessori story.

To us, that’s what being a nursery family is all about.
