At the heart of Ladybird Nursery's approach is the Montessori method, which is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play. In Montessori classrooms, children make creative choices in their learning while trained teachers offer age-appropriate activities that guide the process, allowing children to work individually and in groups to explore the world around them. Every material within the classroom is chosen to support a particular aspect of child development, matching each child's natural interests with the activities available to them. This allows children to learn through their own experience and at their own pace, building a foundation for lifelong learning across language, mathematics, science, music and social interaction. This Montessori practice sits alongside the EYFS curriculum, and is further enriched by the nursery's bespoke Marhaba Arabic Programme. This integrates with EYFS themes and focuses on essential speaking and comprehension skills, covering Arabic greetings, letters, vocabulary, colours and numbers through music and play, with the aim of kindling an early appreciation of the Arabic language ahead of primary school.
