Blue Nest Montessori School

A home away from home for every child

Blue Nest is a family of Montessori day nurseries across Harrow, Pinner and Borehamwood, caring for children aged 3 months to 5 years. We blend the Montessori method with the UK EYFS framework so children grow happy, curious and ready for school.

Our story

Built by a family, for families

Blue Nest began with a simple belief: that the early years matter more than almost anything else, and that children flourish when they feel genuinely at home. From a single nursery, we’ve grown into a small family of settings across Harrow, Pinner and Borehamwood — with new branches on the way.

Every Blue Nest nursery shares the same heart: calm, beautifully prepared rooms, a warm key person for each child, and a team that treats every family as part of our own. We’ve been recognised as one of London’s leading Montessori schools, but what we’re proudest of is simpler — children who arrive happy and leave confident.

Our mission

To help every child learn, develop and grow

Our mission is to give children the best possible start — not by pushing them ahead, but by following their natural curiosity. We provide a prepared environment where children can lead their own learning, supported by educators who know exactly when to step in and when to step back.

Blending Montessori with the EYFS framework means children meet every UK early-years milestone while gaining the independence, focus and language that Montessori is known for. Pair that with weekly forest school and a genuine home-from-home feel, and you have the Blue Nest day.

What we stand for

Our values

Four things shape everything we do — from how we settle a new baby to how we prepare a four-year-old for reception class.

A home away from home

Warm, calm rooms and a key person for every child. We settle children gently so they feel safe enough to explore.

Child-led learning

Following Maria Montessori, we let children choose purposeful work and stay with it — building focus, independence and a love of learning.

Time outdoors

Weekly forest school and daily outdoor play. Real mud, real tools and real discovery, whatever the weather.

Family partnership

Parents are partners. We share daily updates, observations and milestones so home and nursery move together.

These values come to life through our people. Meet the team behind Blue Nest.
