Our Nursery
Toddler Room
Our toddler room is engaging, full of fun and has enough space for 16 busy toddlers!
Our room provides endless opportunities for toddlers to fully play, explore and learn in whatever way they want to. Allowing a flexible environment to change and cater for their current needs and interests at any stage. Our toddlers will be given the opportunity to manage their own risks, engage in exciting activities and allow their imagination to go wild with our loose part provocations.
Pre Pre-school
Our pre pre-school room is a vibrant and nurturing space designed especially for children who are ready for a little more challenge and independence before moving into preschool. With space for up to 16 children, this room bridges the gap between toddlerhood and preschool, offering a calm, engaging environment where confidence can grow.
In this room, children are encouraged to become curious learners, developing early skills such as turn-taking, independence, early communication and problem-solving. The environment is thoughtfully designed to adapt to their needs, with areas that promote imaginative play, early mark making, construction, sensory exploration and small-group learning.
Our team carefully plans activities and provocations around each child’s interests, ensuring they feel motivated, supported and excited to learn. With a strong focus on building social skills and independence, our pre pre-school room helps children feel ready, prepared and enthusiastic for the next step into preschool.
Pre-school
Our preschool building is separate to the main building, accessed via our incredible garden. Up to 32 preschool aged children get to enjoy this well equipped room, packed with opportunities for play, physical activity, quiet spaces and endless fun.
Our preschool is designed with the children at the heart of everything we do and offer. Our room is mouldable and changeable to grow and develop with the preschoolers. With constant free flow to our beautiful garden our preschool children are able to learn skills which will last a lifetime.
Our resources and provocations are planned specifically for our children within the room at that time, we allow for opportunities to spark their natural curiosity while building on their interests and skills. The loose parts provided within the room enable plenty of risk taking, problem solving and creative play.

Meet Your Management Team
Sharn
Senior Early Years Manager
Hello, I’m Sharn. I’m a nurturing and dedicated manager, with over 20 years’ experience in nurseries and 16 years as a manager. I help set up Snowdrop House Montessori in 2019 and have been the manager here ever since. My journey in early years has been driven by hard work and commitment. I continue to evaluate and progress my own learning and have recently completed by level 5 lead practitioner qualification and level 3 SENCO qualification. I am truly passionate about supporting families and fostering environments where children can thrive.
As a parent I understand how difficult it is to leave your babies, but I believe in building strong partnerships with families and making the transition to nursery as smooth as possible for your family.
I lead an inspiring team and ensure that the nursery consistently meets the highest standards of care and education. My approach is centered on fostering curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning, while promoting inclusion, wellbeing, and positive relationships.
I take pride in creating a warm and welcoming environment where children feel valued, parents feel supported and staff are empowered to provide exceptional early years experiences.
