Cator Park Montessori Pre-School

Set in the heart of the lovely Cator Park, in Beckenham, our pre-school uses the Montessori method of teaching, which is based on a deep respect for children as unique individuals. Our children are free to choose, explore and enjoy learning experiences. This helps them to build confidence in their own abilities and stimulate their imaginations and creativity, and provides a firm foundation for future learning.

Parent Reviews

"The teachers to kids ratio is brilliant so our son gets a lot of 1-2-1 time. They really know them and understand his needs and the best way to support him"

Diana
"A wonderful nursery/pre-school with very knowledgable, friendly staff who really care. Our little one loves going to nursery and is excited to tell us all about it when we collect her."

Nicki
"We had a wonderful experience with our first child who went on to start primary school in September 2019. Our second child has just started as a result. Highly recommended."

Jason
"You could not wish to find a more nurturing and loving preschool for your child. My son, who is now in his second year at Cator Park, has had a fantastic 18 months with some of the most supportive and loving staff which has given him an incredible start in a classroom environment."

Our Montessori approach

Our aim is to develop “the whole child”, instilling an enthusiasm for learning, and building strong foundations for our pupils’ future education. The Montessori Method believes that a teacher’s role is merely one to aid and support the child’s exploration and creativity, while the child learns from their environment and other children at their own pace. This method has shown to help foster independence, confidence, a sense of pride in their achievements and positive self-esteem from an early age.

Free-play activities, such as a role play area and construction toys for imaginary play to develop spatial awareness, motor skills, language and social skills
Our mud-kitchen, digging, mini beast and planting areas add to the whole outdoor experience. In addition, our children enjoy a carefully planned programme of special activities, outings and events including nature walks in the park, visits to the library and the teddy-bears picnic where we eat the food harvested from the children’s own planting programme
Easily accessible Montessori materials in our indoor and outdoor classrooms, including activities for “Everyday Living”, “Education of the Senses”, “Mathematics”, “Literacy”, “Cultural” and “Understanding the World
