Nestled within the vibrant community of Notting Hill, The Grove Nursery is situated in the beautifully renovated west wing of Westbourne Grove Church. Accessed via the main reception, Paint Pots combines the charm of period architecture with a thoughtfully modern interior designed to inspire and support young learners.
Since September 2021, The Grove has welcomed children aged 1 to 5 years, divided into two carefully prepared Montessori classrooms:
2–5 Year Olds Classroom
This dynamic, mixed-age environment supports children aged 2 to 5 with a full Montessori curriculum. Here, older children naturally take on mentoring roles, fostering leadership and empathy while reinforcing their own learning. The classroom includes a wide range of activities across all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), with dedicated zones for gross and fine motor development, sensorial exploration, language, numeracy, and practical life skills. Advanced Montessori materials empower each child to learn at their pace in a calm and purposeful setting.
1–2 Year Olds Classroom
Designed as a peaceful 'home from home', this classroom caters to a small number of children from 12 to 24 months. The environment offers sensorial experiences that nurture natural curiosity and early development. With soft lighting, natural materials, aromatherapy, and gentle music, the space provides a calm and nurturing atmosphere. Sleeping mats, supported seating, and changing facilities are all included to meet the needs of the youngest children with care and comfort.
A Child-Centred Learning Environment
Across both classrooms, the environment is designed from the child’s perspective — with all materials displayed at their level to encourage independence, exploration, and choice. The approach blends the EYFS with Montessori principles, offering a rich and responsive curriculum that supports every child’s individual growth.

From the first day I visited the nursery, I had a gut feeling it was the right place for my children - and I wasn't wrong. We absolutely love this nursery. The staff work incredibly hard, and it shows in how happy, confident and well-mannered our children have become. The teachers are warm, caring and truly feel like family, and we've seen wonderful progress in our children's learning. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend this nursery! And I can't forget to mention the yummy and nutritious meals from the brilliant cook!

Paint Pots has been like a second home for both our boys. The team felt like family by the time we left for school. I can't recommend this nursery highly enough- how much our children are now thriving in school socially, emotionally and academically must be attributed to Paint Pots. Children come first at PP - you always know a nursery is good when they try to impress the kids, more than the parents. The food is also outstanding all home cooked by a passionate chef following nutritionists advice. We have only good things to share and hope all future parents will appreciate quite how hard the team works.

My son has been at Paint Pots Bayswater for 2.5 years. The manager is a very passionate headteacher who believes in bringing out the best in her nursery children. Together with her team of caring and wonderful teachers; they encourage children to be kind, creative, and independent. My son always loved going to nursery and enjoyed the wide range of Montessori activities, as well as the weekly cooking, music lessons and outdoor visits to local gardens. I loved being able to access his learning and development through the regularly updated parent portal. I am so pleased we made the choice for Paint Pots. My younger son will be heading there too.
