Welcome to Teddies Nursery
At Teddies Nursery, we provide a warm, caring, and stimulating environment where children develop confidence, independence, and a genuine love of learning.
Our curriculum combines the very best of the Montessori approach with the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage), allowing children to learn through hands-on experiences, exploration, and carefully planned activities that meet their individual needs.
Children enjoy a rich variety of learning experiences each day, including:
We are an English-speaking nursery, with all daily learning and classroom activities taught in English. For families who would like their children to learn Arabic, we also offer small, dedicated Arabic lesson groups led by our specialist Arabic teacher.
Our experienced and qualified teachers carefully observe each child’s interests and stage of development, guiding them at their own pace while encouraging independence, concentration, kindness, and respect for others.
We believe children learn best when they are happy, engaged, and inspired. Our classrooms are thoughtfully prepared with high-quality educational materials that encourage curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
At Teddies Nursery, every child is valued, nurtured, and encouraged to reach their full potential in a safe, happy, and supportive environment.
Our Classes
Every child is placed in the class that's right for their stage. The warmest way to find the right fit is to visit.
Gummy Bears
Our youngest children settle into a warm, loving environment where they build trust and confidence. Through sensory play, music, Practical Life activities, and caring guidance, they develop early language, independence, and a joyful first love of learning.
Honey Bears
Children explore Practical Life and Sensorial activities that build concentration, coordination, and independence. Along the way they develop early language, counting skills, friendships, and confidence through meaningful hands-on experiences.
Maple Bears
Curious minds grow through Jolly Phonics, early reading and writing, hands-on mathematics, science, geography, art, and creative discovery. Children deepen their independence while developing a genuine love of learning.
Golden Bears
Our oldest learners strengthen their reading, writing, hands-on mathematics, science, biology, geography, Practical Life, and Grace & Courtesy skills. They leave Teddies as confident, independent learners with the skills, curiosity, and confidence to thrive in school and beyond.
We don't start with the flower. We start with the roots.
A beautiful result isn't proof of healthy growth — the roots are. At Teddies, we nurture the unseen foundations that let real learning grow: freedom to explore, deep concentration, order that helps children feel secure, repetition that builds skill, movement, choice, and the independence that comes from being trusted to do for themselves.
