Smith's Children Montessori is an independent nursery school in Cambridge, England which offers the Montessori method of education and philosophy to children aged 6 months to 5 years.

Smith's Children Montessori is located just off Victoria Road, a short walk or bicycle ride from the city centre and occupies a spacious first floor hall inside the church. The nursery is set back from the road and surrounded by a large garden at the front which children access throughout the day. There is a private car park for dropping off and collecting, bicycle parking and disabled access.

The nursery school provides a happy, caring and secure environment for children to develop and learn together. We have 3 special nurturing environments; The Nido (Nest), Infant Community and Children's House. Each classroom environment is a community where children are supported by qualified Montessori teachers and assistants who are focused towards guiding each child at their specific age or pace of development.

Our approach is to provide each child with the stability and freedom to learn through self-initiated activities, that aims to nurture independence leading to confidence, increased self-esteem and strong attachments to peers and adults.

Our ethos is one of 'Nurturing Wonderful minds'. Supporting children from birth to age five, through their 'sensitive periods', which includes the period of the absorbent mind. "We promote and support a diverse nursery community consisting of many cultures and religious faiths".

We cannot think of a better nursery. Top of the tops. Our eldest daugther is now at primary school and after two years at the nursery now she is extremely confident, is able to read and write and is well beyond the knowkedge expected for her age. Our youngest daugther is doing also very well. She is happy and enjoys every minute there. We are extremely please with the staff and the management, always there and very supportive. The best option for my kids no doubt! :-)

A fantastic nursery which my daughter enjoyed a lot. The staff people are really fond of kids, not only providing the great diversity of activities for the development of kids but being really very attentive and caring for them.

I used Smiths children for a number of years until my LO reached school age. I would certainly recommend them to any parent who appreciates the benefits of the Montessori approach. My son has just started school and can count higher than children 4 years older than him! Georges carer (Ingrid) was really attentive and really connected with him which made it much more enjoyable for him and less stressful to drop him off. Thank you Max and Pam as well for giving a single parent one less thing to worry about. Definite thumb up!

They gave our infant son a black eye. The owner lied about financial matters and they made many mistakes in areas they claim to be qualified in. Despite them being unable to care adequately for our son, they refuse to return the deposit or even fees paid for the period the deposit covers. About 3k blown for 10 days of substandard care. I deeply regret sending my child there.
