Marigold Montessori – Where learning blooms

At Marigold Montessori, experienced educators nurture each child to become a successful learner, a confident self-starter and a considerate friend.

Children can start at the age of ten months and stay with us until the age of five.

Our classrooms are bright and roomy, inviting purposeful work and imaginative play.

Marigold Montessori: Our Values

Our mission is to cultivate curious, confident and compassionate children through authentic Montessori practice.

We provide a nurturing, safe environment where independence and respect are modelled every day, and hands-on learning builds deep concentration.

In partnership with families, we prepare children not just for the next classroom, but for a lifetime of thoughtful learning and contribution.

Begin your child’s journey at Marigold Montessori

Our goals: independence, concentration, joyful curiosity, empathy, and school-readiness.

We achieve them through hands-on Montessori materials, a mixed-age community, daily outdoor learning, and close family partnership, so children leave confident, capable, and kind.

It is widely accepted that children in this age group absorb and achieve more than at any other stage in their school life, and this makes choosing the right nursery school vital.

Our Location

Beautifully central on Rectory Lane, HA8 7LG, we are opposite Edgware Underground Station (Northern line), and a short walk from the bus station, convenient outside, calm within.

If you drive, there is a 10-minute grace period at the usual drop-off (8am) and pick-up (6pm) times when you display your Marigold Badge, a brief allowance, not a ticket waiver.

Partnerships with our parents

Parents are our partners in learning. Drop in daily to say hello, and speak with your child’s teacher, or any member of staff whenever you need.

Across the year, we host parent read-alongs, classroom cooking, cultural celebrations, and Mother’s Day and Father’s Day breakfast gatherings.
