King's Castle Montessori Day Nursery

Welcome

Welcome to King’s Castle

25 years’ of quality childcare!

Since opening in 1997, King’s Castle Montessori Nursery has provided a happy, safe and caring environment for children aged 0-5. Our dedicated and qualified nursery staff provide a calm and stimulating atmosphere where all children can flourish.

King’s Castle is situated in the Tuckton area of Bournemouth and so is ideal for children coming from Littledown, Southbourne, Christchurch, Boscombe and surrounding areas.

The nursery has a baby unit, toddler unit and pre-school with different areas for each age group. We also have a lovely, fully enclosed garden with play area, planting area and an outside covered classroom.

Essential info

Facilities

King’s offers 3 areas for the children:

Highcliffe baby unit – ages from approximately 3 months to 2 years. Our baby unit feels like a real “home from home” and provides fully personalised care and an introduction to Montessori materials and activities.

Christchurch toddler unit – ages from approximately 2 to 3 years. The Christchurch toddler unit provides the first steps to independence and an increased focus on Montessori materials and activities.

Lulworth pre-school – ages approximately 3 years to 5 years. The Lulworth pre-school develops the child’s independence and provides excellent all-round preparation for transition to primary school. We work closely with all the local primary schools and many teachers comment on how well-prepared the Kings Castle children are!

The Lulworth pre-school offers a full Montessori curriculum and children have access to an extensive range of Montessori materials and activities. The Montessori curriculum includes and embraces all areas of the EYFS Early Learning Goals.

Each child has an individual development plan, created in partnership with parents and each child’s Key Worker.

Our priorities

By providing a positive, supportive environment with lots of engaging activities, our hope is that each child leaves us happy, confident and bursting with enthusiasm; ready to take on the challenges of school life and a whole new world of learning.

Our philosophy

We believe that every child deserves the best possible start in life to fulfil their potential and to thrive. A safe and happy childhood combined with caring, high quality childcare helps provide the foundations children need to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up.

Our aims

To give each child the time to play, explore, think, dream, laugh, smile and discover the world around them.
