About Our School
Foundation
Little Sweethearts Montessori School at St. Saviour's opened in September 1995 and offers children up to the age of five the best in care and education.
St. Saviour's Church Hall was completely reconstructed to create a purpose built spacious nursery school providing a secure and comfortable environment in Little Venice. The school is based on Montessori principles and offers full and part time places. We have an outdoor playground nearby.
Teachers
It is the school's policy to employ warm, tender, professional, and highly dedicated teachers who work with love and diligence to achieve our aims. They are all Montessori qualified and have First Aid Certificates. We promote stability and continuity of staff. There is a minimum ratio of one teacher to six children.
We operate a one-to-one system to ensure a smooth transition from home to nursery. A member of staff is allocated to each new child until the child becomes familiar with the environment and daily routine. The teacher pays close attention and responds affectionately to the newcomer's individual needs, allowing the child to adjust to the new situation at his/her own pace. Specialist teachers visit us weekly to teach Music, Gymnastics, French, Drama, Computer, & Ballet.

Aims
We aim to help children develop self-help skills, the power of concentration, self-discipline and diligence, self-worth and independence, courtesy, kindness, and respect for others. They are encouraged to become socially adept at the appropriate developmental stage.
Each child is a special and unique individual. The children's particular learning needs as well as their personal, social, and physical requirements and preferences are respected and catered for so that they can utilise their potential to the best of their abilities.
Our aim is to make learning an enjoyable, exciting, and challenging experience which will give a good foundation to the children for many "happy learning" years ahead. The habits and skills developed in early years will help them to concentrate and work efficiently for a lifetime, no matter where they go.
