Welcome

Little Pippins Montessori Nursery School in Skelton-on-Ure, near Boroughbridge, welcomes babies and children up to school age. We follow the best of traditional standards and provide a warm and welcoming environment in which children are nurtured, motivated and eager to learn.

In our first-ever Ofsted report published in July 2023, we were rated Good in all areas covered by the inspection, namely Overall Effectiveness, Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development and Leadership and Management.

Our children are taught by experienced Montessori teachers, who give each child the best opportunity to develop both holistically and academically through the benefit of small classes and an enriching curriculum.

We ensure that all our children benefit from varied and well-directed early learning opportunities through their involvement in a wide range of practical and educational activities. This is supplemented with the support of one-to-one teaching, directed at each child’s specific educational requirements and well-being.

Little Pippins Montessori Nursery School have adopted the Department of Education and Skills Early Years Foundation Stage Framework (EYFS).

This is successfully incorporated into the Montessori environment, unique in our area, which we provide at Little Pippins. We are very proud of our reputation for providing excellent quality care and education, helping each child to fulfill their potential.

Funding is available for children two and up. For more information visit the Childcare Choices website or speak to our Headteacher for more information and availability.

Our Values:

  • Being kind
  • Looking after ourselves and others
  • Sharing
  • Looking after our toys and books
  • Believing in yourself
  • Accepting others

These values underpin our nursery ethos in preparing the children for their future by supporting them in being confident, independent and curious learners with a solid understanding of the wider world.

About our nursery

Facilities

Our Nursery is located in the former Skelton Newby School, a stunning Victorian building built in 1856. It is split into four spacious classrooms, and has a variety of outdoor spaces for the children to explore.

e-Learning

We use an online e-learning journal to record the development of each child in our setting. Parents can access the system and see current snapshots so are more up to date with their child’s learning.

Woodland School

Our  children (Woodies) enjoy Woodland School each week, making the very most of our beautiful grounds and space,and learning all about nature, wildlife and more in our outdoor classroom.

Our Rooms

Little Pippins Montessori Nursery has four spacious rooms which follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. In these areas, babies and children are able to develop at this own pace with lots of stimulating activities to help this development.

Each of the rooms – Little Pips (ages 0-2), Little Buds (ages 2 to 3) and Butterflies (ages 3-4) is led by a senior member of staff who is supported by our highly experienced and qualified nursery practitioners. We also have a special Montessori classroom for one-to-one and group sessions.
