Recommended reading and viewing

As a parent with a child in a Montessori setting, it's always helpful to find out more about how your child is learning, and how you can support their learning at home through our methods.

Here you will find recommended reading and videos on the Montessori method, parenting advice and supporting your child's Montessori journey at home.

 

All books are readily available on Amazon. We also have a limited supply of these books and others at nursery that we are happy to loan out on a temporary basis. There will be a charge for this o enable us to add to our supplies. Books will be loaned for a week at a time during term time. Just ask us when you drop off, in key-worker meetings, or send us a message.
