Rotating images of children 'working' in the childrens roomBased in Uplands, Swansea, the Children's Room is a privately run Montessori school; the first South Wales nursery school run according to the unique child-centred Montessori approach to early education.

Founded by Liz Byatt, the nursery's staff bring over 15 years experience in nursery education and Montessori principles to the school

'Little children between three and six are years of age have a special psychology. They are full of love. They are only without love if they are ill treated. If they are badly treated their real nature is altered. They are full of love themselves and need to be loved in order to grow.'
Maria Montessori 1989

 

'The Fashioning of the human personality is a secret work...... All that we know is that he has the highest potentialities, but we do not know what he will be. He must 'become incarnate' with the the help of his own will.'
Maria Montessori 1966

 

'The child who concentrates is immensely happy; he ignores his neighbours or the visitors circulating about him. Fort he time being his spirit is like that of a hermit in the desert; a new consciousness has been born in him that of his own individuality.'
Maria Montessori 1947

Located in the peaceful environment of St James Gardens, the Children's room has a higher teacher-to-child ratio than many other nurseries and can offer provision through the medium of Welsh.  Pictures of children undertaking various activities in the Children's roomLiz has seen the success of the Montessori method across the world and has worked in schools in London and the Far East, working in a Montessori school in Singapore for two years.   Bringing these principles back home to Wales is a dream she has now realised.

Developed by Dr Maria Montessori, the Montessori educational approach places emphasis on allowing children to achieve their full potential by developing the whole child intellectually, socially, physically, emotionally, linguistically and spiritually.  The aim at the nursery is to give every child the opportunity to do this.

By providing the right environment, the Children's room will concentrate on the goal of holistically developing the social and emotional intelligence of the child. Therefore it is not a play-group type of environment but one that prepares the children for the challenges of the future.

  • The first Montessori school in South Wales

  • Drop off service to local schools offered

  • High teacher to child ratio

  • Welsh provision

  • The Montessori method develops the whole child, mentally, emotionally and holistically

The school takes children from the age of 2 years and is open 9am to 4pm during term time.  Some children who just do the morning session like to stay for lunch and go home at 1pm. 

Due to the high standards that need to be maintained, the nursery will cater for no more than sixteen children at any one time.  There is a minimum attendance of two sessions a week.  Please call to discuss places and fees.

Today, the importance of excellent nursery provision has finally been recognised at Government level and the Montessori method is very much at the forefront of current educational thinking.
