A charming nursery nestled in the warmth of an Eastcote barn house
Welcome to Blossom Tree Montessori Eastcote. We recently opened in July 2023 and have been busy welcoming new families through our doors ever since. Housed within a barn style building with original wooden beams, our classrooms have floor to ceiling windows, providing an abundance of natural light. We are located on the corner of Meadow Way, right next to the high street which sits us in a fantastic location for the children to take exciting trips to the Library and shops. Conveniently, we are just an 8 minute walk from the station which makes travelling to and from work that much easier and for those arriving by car, ample parking is available, ensuring hassle-free pick up and drop offs. The nursery is situated close to many nearby state and independent schools which we have built close relationships with.
Sessions
“I love children. I love playing a part in a child’s development, experiences, memories and overall growth! That is simply why I am on this career path. I started off as an apprentice and grew both professionally and personally with passion and ambition, building meaningful relationships with each child and family that I met. Looking back at each day, the key moments that I always cherish are the laughs and smiles I share with others. I am not perfect, but each day the children inspire me to be my best self.”

Our Ladybirds classroom is where most children begin their Blossom Tree journey learning the primary skills. The spacious room with floor to ceiling windows provides a calm and serene environment, enabling the children to explore and discover. We put in place the core principles of Montessori from the outset, encouraging children to be inquisitive about their environment and be independent about the activities they choose, and excited to be at nursery.
As our babies start becoming more independent, they progress onto the Caterpillars classroom where they start to develop the primary skills learnt and develop the core skills of the Montessori work cycle.They enhance their language skills and communication skills as they slowly become more confident whilst developing strong relationships with their peers and teachers in the classroom.
Our Butterflies classroom is where the children start actively embedding the Montessori practices. They are presented with more intricate materials and introduced to more challenging concepts e.g. spelling and writing. The Montessori activities enhance the children’s independence, social skills, concentration and they learn about the wider world around them through interactive learning. The children benefit from vertical age grouping, a fundamental aspect of the Montessori philosophy.
Our dedicated garden provides a safe and secure space for the children to explore. Each day, we carefully set up our garden, considering the interests and developmental milestones of the children. From obstacle courses to hunting for bugs, every corner is designed to ignite curiosity and stimulate young minds. We believe that spending time outdoors is essential for children's well-being and development and we encourage outdoor play in all safe weather conditions. The children also benefit from outings to the high street where they visit the library and local shops.
Extra Curricular Activities...
Our Spanish class is designed to ignite a love for language from a young age where the children are engaged through interactive games and familiar songs. With a skilled and enthusiastic teacher leading the way, our children explore and learn basic words and phrases while also appreciating different cultures.
During Show and Tell, our little ones can unleash their imagination and confidence in a supportive and encouraging environment. The children are able to share stories and show special items to their peers. From favourite toys to special experiences, each session the children can find different ways to express themselves.
Our Mindfulness class provides valuable tools to encourage the children to talk about their feelings, share experiences and listen to others. These sessions not only teach vital life skills but also foster a sense of wonder and inquisitiveness in our young learners, setting a beautiful foundation for a lifetime of well-being.
Tappy Toes is all about music and movement. The children get to dance, play with different textures, and enjoy listening to different sounds! It's a great way for them to learn and have fun at the same time. They'll learn to move to the beat, feel different textures, and express themselves through music.
Our regular trips to the library offer children the opportunity to discover the wonder of books and storytelling. Guided by their teachers, children select books and engage in interactive storytelling sessions. Through these enriching experiences, children not only develop a passion for reading but also strengthen their communication and language skills.
...And Experiences
At Blossom Tree, our aim is to provide children with enriching experiences that fosters their development and deepens their learning. From trips to the Farm and Natural History Museum, to visits from Owls, a Petting Farm, Fire Fighters, a Dentist and Policemen, we love to provide endless opportunities to the children so they are able to learn all about the world around them. Every year, the children have the opportunity to watch the life cycle of a Butterfly and also get to witness the beginning of a duckling’s or chick’s life as they observe the hatching of their eggs.
At Blossom Tree, we understand the importance of building healthy habits and providing children with balanced and nutritious meals that support their growth and development. Our dedicated chefs on-site prepare fresh meals daily.
We build strong partnerships between home and our nursery to ensure each individual child has the most effective learning experience. The Parent App gives you ultimate peace of mind and more involvement in your child’s journey.
