Mars Montessori Bilingual Nursery is a small private nursery in the heart of Islington, offering Montessori education and a bilingual environment, coupled with extended daycare for children aged 2-5 years. The nursery is open from 8am-6pm, Monday to Friday for 48 weeks of the year.
We have fantastic staff members who are caring, very well qualified, and have been with us for a long time. We have a great reputation, and most new parents join us after having heard a recommendation from an existing parent.
We are a small setting, with only 24 children. This allows us to create a happy intimate space for your children, where all 6 of our staff members know every child individually. We also have a key worker system, where each qualified Montessori key worker is assigned no more than 8 key children.
Additionally we also have our level 6 qualified French teachers who create our bilingual environment. They give consistent care and support exclusively in French. This allows us to offer the bilingual environment to all the children attending our setting. We adhere to the golden rule of "one-person, one language".
The law requires that "half the staff are NVQ level 3 qualified". We have many staff members who have achieved level 6, and nobody below level NVQ 4 - far in excess of our legal requirements!
