About us

Founded in 1975, Dawmouse Montessori is a traditional nursery school inspired by the principles of Dr Maria Montessori. Over the years, we’ve built a strong reputation as a blueprint for Montessori in London, and for our flexible and supportive approach to each pupil and their family’s needs. Many families return with younger siblings, which is also testimony to our school’s wonderful community. 

 

Our facilities

Dawmouse Montessori is a spacious haven in the heart of residential Fulham. Our setting includes bright classrooms, an indoor gymnasium, and a large outdoor field. Our facilities are exceptional for London nurseries, providing children with a safe and bounteous environment in which to play and grow. There’s plenty of space to leave prams and bikes during the day within our gated compound, making life a little easier for parents and carers.

 

Our services

Dawmouse Montessori provides early years education for ages 2 to 5.

We track each child’s individual progression, mapped against the UK government’s EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) curriculum, and in their final year, prepare them for entry into mainstream schools.

  • Two sessions daily, five days per week from ages 2 to 5
  • Session one is from 8:30 to 13:00 (short day option)
  • Session two continues from 13:00 to 15:30 (full day option)
  • Flexible morning drop off between 8:30 and 9:00
  • Free “My Montessori Child” App subscription to follow your child’s progress
