Welcome to Mindful Nurseries Catford

At Mindful Nurseries Catford, we take pride in providing a nurturing and welcoming environment that is distinct from our other locations. Here, we are more than just a nursery – we are a family. Our focus is on fostering individuality and supporting each child’s unique developmental journey.

Montessori Method – Child-Led Learning at its Best!
Our Catford nursery specialises in the Montessori method, a world-renowned educational approach that emphasizes self-directed, hands-on learning. Through this child-led philosophy, we encourage our little ones to explore their natural interests while developing essential skills. Our Montessori practitioners provide activities that nurture cognitive, language, social-emotional, and physical development, empowering children to grow with confidence and curiosity.

A Rich Educational Legacy – Inspired by Dr. Maria Montessori
Our approach is rooted in the visionary work of Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and educator who pioneered child development philosophies. Since the first Montessori childcare centere opened in Rome in 1907, this method has empowered children worldwide to develop independence and a lifelong love of learning.

At Mindful Nurseries Catford, we carry forward this rich legacy, adapting it to meet the needs of each child, ensuring they thrive in a supportive and stimulating environment.
