An inspiring nursery to learn and thrive between Poole and Bournemouth
Welcome to our Montessori nursery in Poole, where our long-standing team deliver exceptional care and education to children from 3 months to 5 years.
Smooth and Easy Transition to Nursery Life
We follow your child's individual routine from home, ensuring they always feel safe, secure, and excited to go about their day. This also makes the transition from home to nursery smoother - giving you the peace of mind you need.
Following the Montessori philosophy, sessions are carefully planned for the children attending on that day, so you can be assured that your little one will always receive the very best care, attention, and activities for them to thrive.
Enhancing Early Education
Designed by our Early Years specialists, your little one will flourish and reach their full potential with our enriching and wellbeing-focused The Nurture Approach. Within the curriculum are our Growing Enhancements, to help children of all ages develop key skills. With younger children, we focus on reading, writing, and maths, and other enhancements are added as they grow. These include science, art, sports, cooking, and gardening.
Children also enjoy Boogie Mites with its exciting opportunities to learn through music and song.
Follow their progress via the Bright Horizons Family app and learn what keeps them engaged throughout the day.
Fresh Meals and Outdoor Time
A healthy, varied diet is essential for growing little ones. Your child will enjoy a wide range of delicious meals and snacks, all freshly prepared by our onsite chef.
If your little one loves the great outdoors, then they'll adore having freeflow access to our specially designed all-weather gardens. To ensure your child has the very best experience, they'll have access to the best age-appropriate resources, to enhance their playtime and development.
All the Essentials Covered
To give you less to pack on a busy morning, we include all the daily essentials such as breakfast, snacks, high tea, nappies, wipes, nappy cream and sun cream.
Inspiring and Convenient Location
Our Poole Montessori Day Nursery is located halfway between Poole and Bournemouth, in a lovely green residential area. We are also close to Branksome station, making us a convenient setting for commuting parents.
To give your child more confidence in their local area, and to have some extra fun, we take regular walks to our local park.

Nursery Fee Calculator
Our calculator enables you to estimate your basic fees BEFORE childcare funding is applied. We’ve taken this approach as funding is dependent on your own very individual situation, how old your child is, where you live, whether you’re working, or you get discounts from your workplace.
Our comprehensive funding guides provide guidance on what funding you’re likely to be eligible for, we can send this to you after you’ve estimated your fees.
When you visit us, we can also help you understand your options and work out what your net fees will be after any childcare funding is taken into account.
Estimate your fees
Oops! We appear to be having a few technical challenges! Our team is working hard to get our fee calculator back up and running soon as soon as possible. Thanks for bearing with us.
In the meantime, if you need some answers or to book a nursery visit, then please call us on 01202048214, our friendly team is here to help.
