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.

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.

Parent Comments…

My children have & continue to love Little Pippins MontessoriNursery School. It is a friendly, warm & nurturing environment, teaching children so very much alongside a lot of play. No nursery in the area comes anywhere near what Mrs Jackson offers.
Wonderful staff, each child is valued and cared for, the grounds are superb where learning in and outdoor is fun and creative. Flexible daily care for children 9 months to 4.
Since Iona joined Little Pippins Montessori Nursery, she has thrived both socially and educationally. She has become a confident little girl who walks into nursery with a massive smile on her face and just loves her time there.
We were so worried sending our little boy to nursery at 9 months, but we had nothing to worry about! Mrs Jackson and the team have made it so easy for us and we know he’s happy and in safe hands. We get regular updates on his development and have noticed a huge difference in his skills, social and practical, since he started his two days a week at Little Pippins. We’re so pleased and love his nursery family.
The best thing about Little Pippins Montessori Nursery School is that the team (including CoCo) makes our daughter really really happy. This allows her to learn and develop quickly. The culture of the nursery gives her the values and beliefs we want to her have. We would always recommend Little Pippins for early years learning and development.
Both of our daughters have flourished under the care of Mrs. Jackson and her wonderful team. Little Pippins is an extremely special place and we cannot recommend it enough!
It’s difficult to express just how wonderful Little Pippins is. The staff know the children very well and nothing is too much trouble. It is a fantastic learning environment, preparing children exceptionally well for school.
