Planets Montessori Nursery follows the UK EYFS framework alongside the Montessori method, combining structured early learning goals with child-led, hands-on discovery. Classrooms are arranged as prepared environments, giving children the freedom to choose activities that match their interests and developmental stage, while trained educators observe and offer individualised guidance. The approach favours mixed-age groupings, allowing older and younger children to learn from one another through peer teaching and collaboration. Practical life activities such as simple tasks, group work and sensory-rich materials help build fine motor skills, independence and cooperation, alongside a broader curriculum that folds in physical education, music and creative expression. Language learning forms part of daily life at the nursery, with instruction offered in English, Arabic/Islamic studies and French, supporting both communication skills and cultural awareness from an early age.

Across all age groups, the day combines Montessori-based hands-on materials with practical life skills, arts, music and physical activity, supported by two indoor and outdoor play areas where children can build motor skills and social confidence through active exploration.
