The team at Catford Nursery pride themselves on individuality, being unique from Mindful Nurseries' other locations.
Specialising in the Montessori method, practitioners cater all activities towards children's interests. Little ones are encouraged to self-select activities and toys, as well as free-flow between indoors and out.
This approach to learning emphasises real-life skills and hands-on learning, with particular focus on each child's language, cognitive, physical, social and emotional development.

We can't fault them.
It's my first time having my daughter in this nursery and I've met wonderful staff who are understanding, helpful and very welcoming. They are very good peopleThey helped me with any information I didn't know.
I especially love their Montessori approach, which is applied in such a warm and supportive way. Montessori can sometimes feel intimidating, as if you're not doing enough at home without the "right" toys or methods. But in reality, it's about teaching children independence at their own pace, and the amazing teachers here guide them through that process beautifully. They make it easy for both children and parents to embrace this way of learning.
It's a wonderful, nurturing place, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a well-balanced and caring environment for their little one!
A key highlight is the emphasis on real-world learning. The kids often go out, visits to museums and historical sites are thoughtfully integrated, fostering genuine curiosity.
The staff are exceptional, nurturing, dedicated, and passionate about the Montessori method. Children of different ages mix, creating a strong sense of community. They foster independence, confidence, and a love for learning.
This nursery has exceeded our expectations. Our children love going, and we feel confident they are in a caring, enriching environment.
Lovely nursery with helpful, caring and responsive staff. We love the vertical learning as a result of the mixed ages. A highlight is the variety of outings and real-life learning experiences including weekly trips to the library and occasional trips further afield to museums for example. The monthly themes that guide the learning experiences also really inspire the children. Other highlights include the frequent cooking and banking opportunities as well as the outdoor play. Although the indoor rooms are on the smaller side they have been laid out thoughtfully and creatively. The children love the new outdoor area.
Thank you, we will always be grateful.
The learning program, particularly the Montessori approach, is the main reason we chose this nursery, as it aligns with our gentle parenting philosophy. The staff is highly trained, sensitive, and attentive, and they truly listen to the children. The food provided is excellent, and the equipment used is mostly plastic-free. The cleanliness is great, along with the overall management and safeguarding of the children.
They are currently improving the garden and outdoor space, which was previously lacking, so we are excited to see the new area. They have plans for a well-equipped outdoor space on the same premises as the nursery.
Overall, our experience has been very good so far, and we definitely recommend this nursery!
