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.

“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 Learning Spaces
Our nursery has been built, furnished and equipped to the highest standards. We have created beautiful and stimulating learning environments to give your children the best surroundings in which to learn and thrive. Simple unobtrusive surroundings and a wide range of learning resources create the right environment for your children to play, learn and grow.
- LadybirdsFrom 6 to 17 months
- CaterpillarsFrom 18 to 24 months
- Butterflies24 months +
- OutdoorAcross ages
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.

“I have always been passionate about working with children and providing a home away from home for them. Their smiling faces will always light up a dull day and I feel that as I teach the children, I learn at the same time. My favourite part of working with children is when they grasp a skill or activity for the first time, and I love to see the look of joy on their face. This is the reason I love what I do. Every single day is a day to learn and try something new!”

For our youngest children, the Ladybirds room is where children develop their first love for learning. 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.
Our Caterpillars classroom is where we lay the foundation of Montessori principles. Here, children embark on a journey of self-discovery as they begin to independently select Montessori activities. Under the guidance of our experienced Montessori Teachers and Nursery Practitioners, they serve as gentle guides, nurturing confidence and capability in every child.
In our Butterflies classroom, children are actively embedding their Montessori practices, cultivating greater independence in their learning journey. Our dedicated practitioners focus on preparing the children for transition to the Bumblebees classroom by nurturing their independence in essential life skills such as independent eating and personal hygiene.
In our Bumblebees classroom, the children are fully immersed in Montessori activities and our expert teachers act as guides to support and scaffold the children’s learning and development. The Montessori activities enhance the children’s independence, social skills, concentration and children learn about the wider world around them through interactive learning. The schools children go to specifically comment upon how mature and well prepared Blossom Tree children are when they start with them.
In total, we have three outdoor spaces for the children to use. Our main outdoor space is a purpose built garden which is a vibrant area for exploration, discovery and learning. Each day the garden is set up with fun, engaging activities for the children to explore. Under the guidance of our experienced educators, children explore scientific concepts, develop fine and gross motor skills and become involved in sensory-rich experiences.
Our second outdoor space is our Courtyard. We use this space to bring small groups of children to focus on specific activities.
Our third outdoor space is a gated grassed area in between our car park and the farms field. This space offers fantastic views of the field where the horses often come to say hello. This area offers ample room for children to freely roam and enhance their physical skills through exploration. 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.

During cooking class, each session is a delightful blend of creativity and hands-on learning. The children get involved in measuring out, mixing ingredients and decorating delicious treats. Our cooking class not only teaches children essential cooking skills but also instills a love for healthy eating.
Our sports class is a dynamic opportunity for children to explore the joy of movement and teamwork in a supportive environment. Led by experienced coaches, these sessions help the children to follow instructions and learn new physical skills. From kicking balls to using tennis rackets, children develop fundamental motor skills while building confidence.

What parents say
As a first-time mum, you often feel apprehensive about leaving your child at nursery but the staff are highly experienced and nurturing and made the settling-in process so much easier and as a result, my daughter eats and naps well there. My daughter settled within a few days and is now oozing with confidence and really enjoys being at nursery.
Children benefit from a broad and well-planned curriculum, which encompasses all areas of their development.
Blossom Tree Montessori is an exceptional nursery. The staff are very kind, caring and nurturing. Our daughter is very happy there - we can see how her confidence has really grown since joining the nursery. The teachers and managers are very approachable and communicate effectively with us.
Children build strong foundations to support healthy and active lifestyles.
As super busy full time working parents it is so important that we feel like everything is world class when we leave our daughter each morning. She is growing and flourishing with their love and care daily
Children are happy and settled at this vibrant and welcoming nursery.
A very well structured evening. It was great to be able to go to different areas of learning and see the activities and progress to challenge the children's development
Leaders are passionate about their roles. They have a clear vision for providing high-quality care and learning for children.
The whole team are incredibly nurturing right from the baby room all the way up to bumblebees. The updates on the app throughout the day are really reassuring, particularly in those first few weeks.
