About
The Montessori
House
The Montessori House is a nurturing environment for children from birth to 6 years old, where
independence, love, and respect are at the heart of everything we do. More than just a school, it
is a home away from home, where children feel safe, valued, and eager to learn.
This dream began in the heart of our founder when she was just a little girl. In August 2021, she
left her nursery job to start a small Montessori setting in her home, with just a handful of
children, including her own. Though small, she poured her heart into it, creating a space that felt
like family. Parents often remarked how much it felt like home—so much so that children never
wanted to leave.
As the community grew, we moved to a larger space in the heart of Ardington, but the warmth,
love, and sense of belonging remain the same. Even today, children still want to stay a little
longer; a true testament to the nurturing environment we have built.
Our
Nursery
Our nursery is thoughtfully designed to support each stage of early childhood
development, divided into three sections:
- Nido (Birth to 18 months): A warm, nurturing space for our youngest children, fostering security and early
independence. - Infant Community (18 months to 2.5 years): Encouraging exploration, social interaction, and foundational
skills in a prepared environment. - Children’s House (2.5 to 6 years): A dynamic setting where children develop independence, confidence, and
a love for learning.
Each room is arranged in a true Montessori fashion—simple, minimalistic, and intentionally
designed to promote independence and self-directed learning. Our bright, inviting spaces are
uncluttered and calming, allowing children to engage deeply with their environment. We focus
on nurturing the whole child, fostering not just academic growth but emotional, social, and
practical life skills that will serve them for life.
Parents Zone
Lina PoznanskeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Obehi is a highly experienced and children-led Montessori teacher. She has promoted our daughter's independence, confidence and her desire for exploration since day one of attending The Montessori House. Obehi has also supported and guided our daughter to develop her language, motor and coordination skills by introducing her to various interesting activities. Obehi has provided a warm and nurturing environment and supported our daughter's social and emotional development through play. Obehi's communication skills are impeccable, she always keeps parents well informed and she's always happy to help and provide advice if needed to further support children in their home environment. Therefore, we've made the best decision 2 years ago and I'm truly grateful for all Obehi's input as now we have a confident and independent child who absolutely thrives. Nathanael MoxonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm very proud to say my son Toby was the first 'baby' at The Montessori House. We first met Obehi when the Montessori House was originally opening, and we were looking for a childminder to look after our boy from 9 months old. I don't have to explain to other parents reading this the innumerable concerns associated with finding someone to take care of your pride and Joy. In every possible way, Obehi has exceeded our expectations. Toby has been happy to go to school from day one, he walks in with a smile on his face and comes home with big smiles. Every day he enjoys a full range of tasks, activities and interactions and every day we have a summary of key care points, followed by weekly updates of what he's been up to. This has been consistent for the 2+ years Toby has been at the Montessori House. Toby has developed with an exceptionally high academic ability, from problem solving to language, and wonderful social skills. Obehi is really an extension of our family, and one we're immensely proud of. If you have the opportunity to place your child at the Montessori House do not hesitate, you couldn't place your children in better, or safer care. Abhilash S.MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Words wouldn't do justice to the stellar role Mrs Obehi has played in mentoring my son and being his first guru. The way she interracts with the children and the parents are extremely professional and commendable. I was genuinely worried about how my son would get along with the cultural shift from moving from India to the UK. Mrs Obehi (or Obehi miss as my son calls her) took paramount care to enable him to blend in well. Its been about a month and a half and he still misses his teacher - that is the sort of impact she has on him. Thank you so much, Mrs Obehi. Pieter EngelbrechtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our little Eloise had the best 18 months she could wish for with wonderful Miss Obehi! Over the 18 months whilst she was at Montessori House, Ellie developed at an amazing pace and enjoyed every moment of it. The skills and behaviors she has learnt whilst there, was noticable every week and will set her up for a smooth transition into nursery. The communications and daily updates from Obehi was great and we felt assured every day that Ellie was in great hands and was being challenged whilst having fun! Thank you so, so much for everything you have done for Ellie and us, Obehi! We wish you all the best with all the other little friends Ellie miss so dearly. Gisele MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Intact I am out of words, if I say Mrs Obehi is good I think it is an understatement. People always say someone is good but this one is very good, I remember very well when my son stated at montessori house, very quiet shy and couldn't talk, I watched him grow into a confident smart young man, very polite, organised, clean, I wish there was a primary school so he doesn't have to come. All I can say is thankyou Mrs Obehi to have been part of man son development. M BFTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Both my kids have know Obehi since they were pretty much babies which is a bonus. I can’t thank her enough for how well she has taken care of my son who she provided wrap around care for. Obehi is very kind with children and firm when she has to be and makes kids feel at home instantly. She has a great deal of experience in the montessori method and has gone through great lengths to set up a montessori childminder business in her home and you can see that in all the varied activities that the kids get to do when in her care. My son flourished with her and was able to come out of his shell which prepared him for ‘big’ school. She is greatly missed! Marta debs nkomoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son started attending THMW in September 2021. His speech was significantly delayed and so was his potty training. From his settling in days to eventually starting, Obehi was amazing with him. His speech improved and so did his potty. Obehi is very person centred. She knows what every child needs and tailors her support to that child. We felt that she supported our son holistically and he improved so much in all aspects of his life. TMHW has been a dream for us. Our son looks forward to going there and he literally shuts the door in my face (like mummy please leave now, just go 😂). We absolutely love this place and we are so grateful to Obehi for all she does with our son and all the children. We feel blessed to be part of the TMHW family. Mabel AdjiriTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mrs.Obehi is a very sweet calm person but has complete control of groups of children which all are very happy in her care. She looked after my son for over a year and always does fun activities and plays with a fantastic range of learning toys. She has also taken my son on lots of great days out (with my permission), ranging from picnics to trips to the library, etc. I found her highly reliable and professional at all times. My son loves going to her all the time because she loves children and makes them feel so comfortable. I would definitely recommend Mrs.Obehi for both full time or part time parents or guardians who are in need of childcare for their kids. You would see the massive improvement on your kids behaviour, and learning pattern. Thank you so much for helping my Son in developing. You are a great asset to the Montessori House. Appreciate all you did for my son. Joanne KoulloupasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot recommend highly enough! Obehi is fantastic with children, my two thrived with her. A structured, educational environment but lots of love & care!
