Little Acorns Montessori is a family-run group with three individual, thriving settings across Ascot, Bracknell and Crowthrone. Our well-established Ascot, Winkfield setting opened in 1994 and it has a strong local reputation and a beautiful rural setting.

All our settings have a warm, welcoming, inclusive and high-quality learning environment where children can thrive. We nurture children’s curiosity, creativity, and confidence while fostering a love for lifelong learning. Our Montessori inspired curriculum blends child-led activity, explicit teaching/direction, and play, to deliver the EYFS effectively. We aim to serve our local communities with affordable, flexible, high-quality childcare that fits the needs of parents.

There are 2 rooms at Ascot, Little Oaks (2 Years Old) and Mighty Oaks (3+ Years). We really do try and look after our staff as best we can and we are a small but mighty family nursery. The Ascot setting is a lovely place to be, and we can also offer days/visits to our other 2 thriving nurseries to develop experiences for our Apprentices.
