About Us

Townsend Montessori Herne Bay is in the sea-side town of Herne Bay, making it the perfect location for families who live locally or in the nearby towns of Canterbury and Whitstable. We are passionate about Montessori inspired philosophy. Montessori nursery is not just about learning, it is about sparking curiosity, encouraging exploration, and helping children develop their natural interests, learn through hands-on experiences, and acquire real-world skills.

Inside, the nursery has two large, spacious rooms. The baby’s and younger children’s room is well equipped with a calm and cosy space; as well as a space full of engaging resources and activities, encouraging the children to explore and be curious. They have their own dedicated garden to use throughout the day.

The Toddlers and Pre-School room is a warm and welcoming space located on the ground floor of the nursery, overlooking the garden. This enables the children to free flow from inside to outside during the day. The large garden houses a forest area as well as a main garden, with a climbing frame, sand and water play, and a planting area.

The nursery offers exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child. One such experience is child-friendly cooking classes, inspired by the Montessori approach, fostering meaningful connections between children and the world around them. These classes help to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process.

Children in this early years setting feel safe and happily engage in various activities. The inspection found a strong focus on language development and literacy promotion, with numerous opportunities to explore books and hear stories. Leadership is passionate and committed to providing good-quality experiences. Effective safeguarding arrangements are in place. However, there is room for improvement in consistently providing challenging activities to extend children's knowledge and skills further.
