About Us

Cambridge Montessori is an independent nursery school located in the heart of the historic city of Cambridge, England. The nursery school provides early years Montessori education and care for children aged 6 months to 5 years of age.

The nursery is conveniently located 7 minutes walk from the Cambridge train station and situated between Hills Road and Mill Road. We are a bicycle friendly nursery and have plenty of space for parents to park their bicycles and trailers throughout the day. Car parking however is not readily available therefore if absolutely required the Smiths Children Montessori nursery might be a better fit with lots of space for both cars and bicycles.
