Location

Our pre-school is in Pratts Bottom village, Orpington. This rural location is only 2 minutes from the A21. There is ample packing in the adjacent side road for stress free drop off and pick ups.

Montessori

Our  Montessori curriculum, which covers and extends the EYFS activities, will help your child reach their full potential in all areas of development. 

Forest School

​We run our own Forest School in the adjacent Birthday Wood. ​Our Forest School experience develops confidence, self-esteem and resilience through positive outdoor experiences.

Ipad system

We record your child’s progress on the My Montessori Child computer system which has a secure website where you can see photographs and teachers comments about your child’s activities. This builds into a report that you can pass to your child’s Reception class teacher. The website includes suggested activities you can do at home

Accredited Montessori

We are one of only two accredited Montessori preschools in Orpington. The Montessori Evaluation and Accreditation Board (MEAB) gave us accreditation status in 2015. We were successfully re-accredited in 2019.

First aid

All teachers at both Rushmore House Montessori and Orpington Montessori have been trained in Pediatric First Aid and Epi-pen. ​We organise the training course ourselves and therefore with the external instructor are able to tailor it to the needs of our preschools. This includes instruction on how to use an Epi-pen and an emphasis on treating choking, CPR and anaphylaxis. The number of first aiders far exceeds the Ofsted recommendations.

Childcare organisation memberships

We are members of the

• National day Nurseries Association
  
• Early Years Alliance
  
• Montessori Schools Association
  

​These organisations keep us informed of current Government initiatives, provide training and resources to help us.
