Things We Teach

Montessori

Combining self-directed learning with practical activities in collaboration with their peers; this method of free-flow play and structured activities develops the child’s self-esteem and increases their ability to problem solve so that they acquire confidence and a joy of learning.

Bear Forest School

We provide weekly Burgh Wood Bear Forest School sessions for children from 3 years to experience new challenges and independent learning in an outdoor environment with Forest School trained staff.

Extracurricular

Children have the opportunity to engage in extracurricular activities. We enjoy weekly visits with our friends at Banstead Manor Care Home and regular activities such as school trips, ‘Boogie Beats’ and ‘Little Kickers’.

    Information Technology

    Children are able to access Montessori Apps or games through a variety of devices. We also focus on preparing children to transition from nursery to Primary School working closely in partership with Primary School teachers.

    Sensory Activities

    We follow the Montessori Ethos with child-led activities and Montessori Materials to stimulate through sensory learning. Children have access to a variety of sensorial activities to stimulate their senses.

    Understanding the World

    Children are provided with activities to help them to make sense of the world around them with opportunities to observe, explore and learn about cultures, places and the environment.

      ...so welcoming

      “It’s safe to say that my daughters had the most AMAZING experience at Burgh Wood and were very sad to leave. Their time at Burgh Wood fully prepared them for “big” school although I know they are still missing their teachers at Burgh Wood what they have learnt and the way they have learnt will stay with them forever.    I can’t thank Jo and her brilliant team enough for always being so welcoming and brilliant at what they do. The way they handle the COVID pandemic while being able to keep the school open was just phenomenal! We miss them all very much and wish them every success in their new exciting venture.”
