As the only Montessori Education U.K Accredited Montessori School in the area, East Sussex Montessori School (ESMS) provides a pre-school experience where the emphasis is on learning and developing in a hands on way, meeting the needs of each individual.
The Montessori approach allows children to have a hands-on, creative way of learning which allows children to explore and develop their own interests, following their natural curiosity. Choosing materials and activities appropriate to specific stages of development children gain confidence, as they progress at their own pace without interruption.
Lucy Forrester (Mont Dip A.M.I) a graduate of the Maria Montessori Institute in Hampstead, London in 1992, owns and runs ESMS .
“Children’s well- being is given high priority at this caring setting”
“All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who speak English as an additional language, benefit from a broad range of experiences that help them gain the skills they need for their future learning.”
We are located in The Old Chapel Centre Alfriston. The unique, light and airy space, houses a classroom that is equipped with a full range of Montessori materials arranged in a child friendly way.
Our calm and nurturing community ensures each child’s needs are met. The secure outdoor space provides both a garden in which the children can play and a separate area for planting and growing.
Alfriston is a rural village, there are beautiful walks and plenty of opportunities to be outside and enjoying and learning about the natural world.
