a community in which to grow

We welcome children from the age of 12 months to two and a half years to learn and thrive in a safe and inspiring space. With a ratio of one adult to three children, we offer one room for toddlers at Colindale and two rooms at Edgware.

developing confidence
and independence early

In an environment specially designed for them, children have the freedom to move and explore. With child-sized chairs, tables, and shelves, our Montessori classrooms allow children to navigate and absorb activities at their own pace, building a foundation of self-confidence.

building skills for life

By participating in real-world activities, such as dressing, washing, sweeping, and dusting, children, are not only building strength, coordination, and dexterity, but also practical life skills and the confidence and control that comes with being able to take care of themselves.

a haven of trust for
healthy relationships

Children are nurtured and encouraged with sensitivity through attentive interactions with their directresses. With personalized guidance and in the safety of the classroom, children find the confidence to pursue their interests and express themselves to adults and their peers.

age-appropriate activities
for future success

We focus on visual discrimination and hand-eye coordination with carefully selected materials and exercises. Working with shapes and colours, placing and sorting, threading, and stacking, children develop their ability to focus, to grip and to learn with enthusiasm.

healthy bodies, healthy minds

With daily opportunities to dance and move indoors, as well as a large, beautiful yard in which to run, jump, climb and explore, children connect with their bodies, building strength and gross motor skills. With meals and snacks made with organic ingredients, we instill the importance of health.

opportunities to discover

Children explore a multitude of creative and enrichment activities to investigate their passions and interests. With new languages, dance, music, cookery, and sports, as well as field trips to visit zoos, farms, and museums, their eyes are opened to a world of wonder and learning.

cultivating life-long learners

Spending these formative years in an environment specially designed for them, with the guidance of passionate directresses, children grow in confidence, enthusiasm, and ability. They are not only prepared for the next step but inspired to approach it with love for learning.

Parental involvement is essential to each child’s successful transition, continued happiness, and well-being at Fountain. We introduce the environment with a sensitive orientation, and with ongoing communication and support, children and parents become part of the community.

"It helped with their reading and interaction with their surroundings"

Both my kids attended fountain they are 11 and 51/2 and the foundation it laid for their learning is second to none. The Montessori way is the way to go. It helped with their reading and interaction with their surroundings and their ability to voice their opinions on different things around them. My third and last is definitely headed for fountain once she is old enough

"The staff are very friendly and keep us updated with Sia's progress"

Our daughter has been at Fountain Montessori Colindale for 2 years and we have seen the significant development in her. From learning how to walk, to being very independent, it's clear the great impact that nursery has had. The staff are very friendly and keep us updated with Sia's progress, along with photos sent through the app. I would highly recommend this particular nursery.

"Fountain Montessori has got an amazing structure and learning environment for our kid"

Fountain Montessori has got an amazing structure and learning environment for our kid, we've seen great developments and changes since she joined 8 weeks ago. The carers are fantastic, very supportive and encouraging. Being able to see her everyday activities on the elog is also a plus. We love the nursery and we are happy to be part of the family.

"The report and consultation helps me understand how Ellie is doing at the nursery"

Thank you all the staff for taking very good care of Ellie. She loves coming to the nursery and she is learning so much everyday. The report and consultation helps me understand how Ellie is doing at the nursery and her social side as I only see her in a home environment. It helps to know how the nursery trains her things so that we can do the same at home.
