Barleymont Fairlop Montessori Nursery, Preschool & Afterschool
Barley Lane Montessori Nursery, part of the Barleymont group, integrates the Montessori philosophy with the EYFS to create a child‑centred, hands‑on learning environment. Across its Goodmayes and Fairlop branches, babies, toddlers and preschoolers explore prepared classrooms filled with age‑appropriate materials while skilled practitioners observe and plan next steps, involving parents via a secure app. The curriculum encourages independence, sensorial exploration and respect for each child’s individuality, blending Montessori’s practical life and sensorial areas with EYFS’s seven areas of learning. The nurseries operate 7 am–7 pm, 50 weeks a year, and offer flexible sessions (AM, PM or full day), plus breakfast, after‑school and holiday clubs. Children benefit from healthy meals prepared on site, and parents can access funded places, tax‑free childcare and sibling discounts.
