South East Montessori Nursery was founded by the Headmistress Rev (DR) Rosamond Jones-King on the 2nd January 1992.
"Our aim is to offer a cheerful and secure surroundings, a location where all our kids are made to feel welcome, and where moms and staff work in a relationship for the benefit of all children who attend. The nursery is designed to bring out the best in your baby by using the Montessori Method"
"Our children get ready for the world in which they will live and work. We think they need to be lifelong learners, adapt rapidly to fresh situations, work successfully with other people and think creatively. They learn self-confidence, independence, honesty and a sense of responsibility for themselves and other people. They also have vast fun and are extremely happy"
Rev (DR) Rosamond Jones-King
The Montessori Method is a philosophy of baby development that employs a practical way of achieving its aims. The method allows the children to advance at their own pace. Hence, the children have the opportunity to learn without interruption. Furthermore, this method of education allows the kids to move forward a greater sense of independence and self-confidence.
“Children enjoy their time at the nursery. Children arrive happy, and are eager to participate. Kids are settled and established good quality relationships with the staff. They responded well to staff and benefit from the stable relationships.” Ofsted Report 2007
The South East Montessori Nursery is a Christian School, but we also accept other faiths. Since the birth of the Pre school, it has provided a Montessori and traditional education to meet the needs of our children. One of our earlier students is at Brunei University doing medicine and another student is studying forensic science. Because of the foundation which we offer, all our children do extremely well when they leave for their chosen schools.
We aim to advice them make progress physically cognitively, spiritually, socially and emotionally. We recognise that these are the important formative years and therefore give a assortment of activities, which will help your infant to improve to their maximum potential. They will be taught all aspects of the Desirable Learning Outcomes, which covers - Language and literacy, Mathematics, Knowledge and Understanding of the world, Personal and Social Skills, Physical and Creative Skills. The children also participate in other curriculum activities e.g. Science, Geography, History, French, Music, Art, Drama, Stories, Cooking, Ballet, Reading, Computer Activities and Outings.
“Children say good quality morning to their friends on arrival and welcome them into the activity. Kids move around the pre school confidently and take part in a assortment of activities, which they participate and contribute to positively. Kids are confident in their faith and share this with others. For example, a kid stated “I love my Jesus my daddy," and another kid responded to her by saying "He's everybody's Jesus."

Our nursery school is beautifully decorated throughout, with the children’s work on display. We have crammed every wall with the children’s creations of which they are all awfully proud to show the nursery visitors and one another. We have invested in some beautiful apparatus for the kids to aid with the thrilling activities we do each day. We have a writing and computer area for the kids to focus and thrive on additional skills as well as an art and craft area to have fun getting messy! Our home corner is themed according to our planning and there is a dressing up rail where they can pick from many different costumes to put on. We have designed our classrooms especially to move forward key areas of the children’s progress whether on a one to one basis or as a group.
