Nursery Co-curricular

At The Gower School children enjoy an array of co-curricular activities each day. Our independent nursery offers many additional Montessori lessons for children to gain new experiences and skills.

Yoga 

Our Nursery staff are trained in children’s yoga. The children enjoy weekly sessions focusing on a variety of fun poses.

Music

Music is especially important for little children, and is a key part of our days in our Montessori nursery. 

We run weekly music sessions with two different teachers on Tuesdays and Thursdays: Miss Sarah on piano, and Miss Louise on guitar. They teach the children a range of songs and each bring their own style to the nursery.

All of our nursery practitioners receive Kodály training. This is an interactive, collaborative, and highly kinesthetic method that develops musicianship through singing. As a result, our rooms are filled with song. 

Plus, we also have a programme of introducing live music to the children. Each term, we invite professional musicians to come to the nursery and play alongside them. So far, we have welcomed violinists, flautists and cellists. Our babies and children love hearing and interacting with the different textures and sounds.Sports & Languages 

The older children at the nursery are also offered lessons in French and sports.

Dance 

Our ballet teacher Miss Milli leads dance classes for nursery children. Additionally, we also offer Diddi Dance lessons to help children enhance their coordination and rhythm.

Creative & Messy Play Activities 

These include arts and crafts, sand and water play, mud kitchen, and dance and movement sessions – to name just a few!

Festivals & Events

We have an extensive calendar of events at our private nursery. Additionally, we enjoy learning about and celebrating every festival and culture from Chinese New Year, to Holi Indian Festival of Colours to International Food Week. Individually, classes also plan for a variety of events at the nursery, ranging from National Storytelling Week, to World Nursery Rhyme Week, to Fruit Week and Vegetable Week.

Trips & Visits

We like to make the most of our Central London location. Each year, take our children to the local park, farms, theatre, library, and make annual trips to London Zoo, the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum.
