Queen’s Park

The Rainbow Montessori School includes two beautiful nurseries in prime locations throughout North West London.
Our very first nursery was established by Rainbow’s founder, Linda Madden, in our West Hampstead premises in 1982 and was followed with the opening of a second Queen’s Park in 2009.
Our nurseries cater for children aged 2 through to 5 years old.

Our ‘Queens Park’ Rainbow Montessori Nursery located in the heart of Queens Park is Rainbow’s most recent addition having opened in 2009. Our ‘Queens Park’ nursery is situated on Salsbury Road in a bright, open plan church hall close to all main transport links and the convenience of the high street. As with all our Rainbow Nurseries, Queens Park follows traditional Montessorian teaching methods and structure. This together with its recent refurbishment and its big, beautiful garden/play area makes it the ideal Montessori Nursery for your child.
At Rainbow we always strive to provide the best quality environment and educational materials for your child- Queens Park is MEAB accredited and all our teachers are fully qualified in Montessori education by recognized Montessori Training Colleges.
The curriculum at Queens Park is very varied and always fun filled! If you would like to find out more about what our Queens Park Nursery gets up to and what activities and outings they have planned please feel free to take a peek at our public blog.

My most recent experience was working at an AMI-base Montessori school in Singapore for the last 2 years.

My greatest sign of success being a Montessori teacher is to be able to say, "My children are now working as if I did not exist."
