Hello..
...my name is Lucy and I am the Founder and Head Teacher here at the Sunflower Montessori Nursery School. Our School is for 2 to 5 year olds. We treat every child as an individual and help develop their social and educational skills. 

​Our school is based on a working farm and having access to the outdoor environment is a key part of our education. We have cows, chickens, goldfish and two cats.  
 
2021 is the year we celebrated our 30th year anniversary.
Our Core values

​We love to explore, try new things and get our boots muddy. We have lots of extra activities going on through out the year, where we learn and have lots of fun. To name a few:

- Yoga with Yoga Jo
- Trips to RSPB Minsmere bird reserve

- Trips to visit local primary schools to watch their Christmas plays
