At our St Neots children’s day nursery, we follow the Montessori approach in a home‑from‑home environment. The children in our care learn through play, and the passionate team at our Ofsted‑rated "Good" nursery offer children a variety of activities and learning opportunities every day related to their individual interests, ensuring no two days are ever the same. We are situated on the site of Longsands College, around the back of the school, and are best accessed via Kings Road. We are just a few minutes walk from the train station, where trains run every 30 minutes to Kings Cross, London. The A1 and the A428 are nearby, with bus routes into Cambridge, making us easily accessible for commuters. Our pre‑school is only a short walk away and parking is available on both sites.
