The Beehive on Queen’s Park is set in pleasant, spacious and natural surroundings. We give children the opportunity of a wholesome education and preparation, while acknowledging the needs of the age in which we live and work to respond intelligently and conscientiously.

We value creative expression and provide a variety of ways through which children can explore their own and the group expression through the use of movement, sound, art and crafts.

The school consists of a spacious area facing a specially designed large garden area. We operate as an open plan where children move freely inside and outside choosing appropriate activities. The total number of children does not exceed thirty at any one time. Class teachers are Montessori qualified and assistants hold suitable qualifications and/or training in the Montessori method. The Beehive runs three terms in the year and is closed in alignment with other nurseries and schools in the local area.

The mixed-age classroom gives younger children the opportunity to be inspired by and imitate the older children. The older ones have the chance to reinforce their own knowledge by helping the younger ones.

The classroom is designed specifically to allow the child to experience freedom in an environment prepared with attractive materials which supports the child for further learning. These areas are: practical life, sensorial, reading and writing and number work. There are areas dedicated to cultural subjects and creativity.
