Curriculum & Approach
British Oak Montessori follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, structured around seven areas of learning and development: personal, social and emotional development; physical development; communication and language; literacy; mathematics; understanding the world; and expressive art and design. This framework underpins every classroom, from the youngest Nursery children through to Foundation Studies 2. Alongside EYFS, the nursery draws on Montessori materials and methods, giving children access to practical life, sensorial, language and mathematics activities such as word building, seguin boards and world maps. Teachers record each child's individual progress and introduce more advanced materials as they are ready, so that older children in the 3 to 4 age group can move on to later-stage Montessori learning while younger children continue with foundational activities. Classroom materials, including sand and water play, block play, books and the home corner, are changed regularly to keep children engaged and to introduce fresh challenges. This combination of responsive teaching, play-based exploration and structured Montessori-inspired activities is intended to support literacy, numeracy, creativity, communication and social skills as children prepare for the transition into the National Curriculum in Year 1.
Ages & Programs
Age range: Children aged six and under (N0 to SN)
British Oak Montessori organises children into stages that reflect their developmental needs, moving from Nursery through Foundation Studies 1 and 2 and on to Year 1. Grades offered include N0 through N4, along with SP and SN classes, each with its own dedicated classroom and teaching team. In Nursery, foundation skills for learning are fostered through play, giving the youngest children a gentle introduction to structured activities. Foundation Studies 1 and 2 build on this base, introducing increasingly complex learning opportunities and a blend of play-based and more structured lessons as children approach the start of primary education in Year 1, when learning shifts towards the subject-specific National Curriculum.
