Best Start Nurseries
For the very best start in life, our two nurseries, St Mary’s in Lutterworth and Hedgehog Hill in Towcester, offer a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn, play and grow.
Our experienced, dedicated and compassionate staff are here to support your child as they develop, providing the care and guidance they need to thrive. Following the Montessori principles, we offer activities that promote independence and respect for others while encouraging children to develop at their own pace.
Our nurseries have a play-based approach to learning, with a focus on fun. This is called Awe and Wonder Based Learning, which sparks children’s natural curiosity and helps them discover the world around them with joy. Each nursery also has a safe, secure and well-equipped outdoor space where children can play and explore with freedom.
From babies to pre-school children, we help every child gain experiences and skills that give them a strong foundation for a happy and healthy future. We look forward to welcoming your child to one of our nurseries soon.
Aims & Values
Creating a child-centred environment is at the heart of the Montessori principles that we follow. Learning at Best Start is led by the individual child and their interests. We encourage their natural curiosity and desire to learn, using practical life experiences to help children develop in a way that they enjoy.
Nurturing & Caring environment
Your child’s wellbeing is our number one priority. Supported by our caring and dedicated team, we provide a safe, secure and comfortable environment where every child can feel at home. Extra measures to protect staff and children are also in place to ensure everyone stays safe and healthy.
The Secret Ingredient
Following the Montessori principles and the Awe and Wonder Based approach to learning, we support every child to develop at their own pace. Learning happens outdoors as well as inside the nursery, whether the children are growing fruit and vegetables in the nursery garden, or exploring the local community.
