Hi all, I'm a 31 year old qualified male Montessori teacher. I'm thinking of opening my own Montessori nursery in the NW London area. Is there anyone out there who feels there is a particular area of NW London that would greatly benefit from a new nursery school opeing. I was thinking of the Maida Vale area. If you live in that area do you feel that there is a lack of nursery care provision in you area? Any feedback would be highly appreciated! Also if anyone knows of any good premises such as Church halls, sports clubs etc who are looking for someone to rent their premises please do let me know.
I also want to open a nursery that understands that girls and boys under the age of 5 learn very differently. 99% of nursery schools in London are run by females, most of whom don't seem to grasp how boys learn. They get shouted at for being noisy when they participate in imaginary role play and told that they should play nice and quietly like the girls. And then experts wonder why boys are drastically lagging behind girls in meeting the Early Years Foundation Stage Goals!! I have worked in nurseries for too long and seen far too much damage being done to not open my own nursery and do things differently. Okay my rant is over. :-) Sorry!
