About us
Newpark Montessori School and Nursery opened in 2006 and is a family-run private nursery and Montessori School. The setting is divided into two sections: a nursery for the under 3's and a Montessori school for children from 3 to 5 years.
There are three outdoor play spaces with their own features including play equipment, coverings that enable children to be outdoors in all weather, a sensorial garden which is looked after by the children and a soft play surface for the younger children.
Newpark offers children a positive, calm, learning environment based on the individual educational needs of each child. This is monitored by our dedicated staff team who share a passion for the wellbeing of each child.
The settling-in process for a new child is robust and thorough, and usually takes place over a two-week period. During these settling-in times all information regarding the child's physical, intellectual, language, emotional and social development is gathered so additional support can be accessed if required.
Supporting children with additional needs
Our setting welcomes children with SEND and we are committed to working with our area SENCO, parents and other professionals to provide good inclusive practice. Our staff are well informed and suitably trained to help support parents of children with special educational difficulties. Each child is planned for and tracked to ensure their needs are met and they continue to develop and thrive.
