Founded in 1975
Dawmouse Montessori Nursery School in Fulham has provided high-quality Montessori early years education for over 50 years. Our spacious outdoor play area, well-resourced classrooms, and indoor gym provide a safe and nurturing environment in which our children explore, learn, grow and thrive.
Following the Montessori method, children are encouraged to learn at their own pace within a carefully prepared environment. We support each child’s individual physical, emotional, and intellectual development, helping them build confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
Daily life
The day at Dawmouse Montessori Nursery is structured around two sessions. The morning session is from 8:30 to 13:00 which includes lunch. Children can 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 lessons with Mr A from Music House for Children
• Wednesday: Topic-related art projects
• Thursday: Sports with Coach Patsy held in the playground or gym
• Friday: French lesson with Miss Réjane

Love & Learning, since 1988.
An independent, not-for-profit nursery in Fulham, London. Dawmouse Montessori Nursery combines Montessori principles with contemporary research-based approaches. In partnership with our close-knit family community, we cultivate each child’s curiosity, joy, compassion, and independence, laying the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
“Dawmouse is a truly wonderful place and we will forever be grateful it was recommended to us. The teachers are warm, kind, knowledgeable and totally invested in your child’s development. Our son has thrived under their care and is so happy there. They teach children to be kind, respectful, curious and independent. We couldn’t wish for a better start to our son’s education.”
