Over 50 years of excellence
Dawmouse Montessori in Fulham is a nursery school for children aged 2 to 5, with a proud and longstanding legacy. For over five decades, it has provided the highest standards of Montessori early years education. With a dedicated team of Montessori-qualified staff and spacious indoor and outdoor facilities, Dawmouse Montessori offers a safe, nurturing environment where children are encouraged to explore, grow, and thrive – developing the confidence and skills they need for a smooth transition into primary school.
Following the method pioneered by Dr Maria Montessori in the early 20th century, children at Dawmouse Montessori are supported to learn at their own pace within a carefully prepared environment. Emphasis is placed on each child’s individual physical, emotional, and intellectual development, nurturing the whole child and fostering confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
Daily life
Daily life at Dawmouse Montessori Nursery follows a gentle rhythm. Each day is structured around two sessions. The morning session is from 8:30 to 13:00 which includes lunch. Though optional, most children stay on for the afternoon session from 13:00 to 15:30. There is the option of flexible drop off from 8:30, and flexible pick up in the afternoon.
Each day at Dawmouse has a different focus, so a typical week might look like this:
• Monday: Letter of the week, show-and-share and phonics activities
• Tuesday: Music lesson with Mr A from Music House for Children
• Wednesday: Topic-related creative art project
• Thursday: Sports with Coach Patsy held in the sport field or gym
• Friday: French lesson with Miss Réjane
