Lemon Tree Montessori is one of very few fully accredited Montessori Nurseries in Croydon which means we provide high standards of Montessori education and curriculum.


The learning materials at Lemon Tree have been designed to provide a wide variety of learning experiences geared towards the development needs of young children. Each activity involves experiencing with unique materials proven to be intensely fascinating for the young child.


When engaged in well structured tasks, our students experience inner satisfaction leaving them with a positive attitude towards everything connected with school.


The Montessori Method believes that children learn directly from their environment and other children. The teacher is there to facilitate the child’s exploration and creativity. All subjects are interwoven and the child learns at their own pace. This helps each child gain independence and confidence, and be proud of their own achievement. Montessori children are usually very adaptable. They have learned to work independently and in groups.


Our Montessori environment supports a free flow of movement between the indoor and outdoor environment where, at any given time, the child has the choice to be inside or outside. Our wonderful outside environment is prepared following the same principles as the inside environment, with activities set up so as to encourage the child’s independent activity and exploration.
