Good use of displays, create a visual and calm environment that is appealing and beneficial to our children’s learning

High-quality partnerships with parents, schools and other professionals provide children with continuity in their care

Hare Hatch Montessori is a marvellous learning environment for pre-school children. The highly-experienced staff team supports children’s learning with great care,  encouragement and creativity. Children thrive in this safe, structured, consistent setting, showing high levels of independence and understanding of the world around them. My daughter loved every day of the two and a half years she attended.

I felt very positive about my daughter’s learning and development at Hare Hatch Montessori. All the staff ensure a nurturing, safe and enjoyable environment for the children. My daughter’s key worker was fabulous, understanding my daughter’s needs and gently encouraging her. Learning is at the child’s pace and there are plenty of activities that the children can choose to participate in.

I have put all of my 3 children (my son and two daughters) through Hare Hatch Montessori and they have loved it!

It is such a warm friendly environment with fantastic facilities.

The staff are all amazing and prepare the children so well for school for when that time comes!
