Little Tots Nursery in Reading (formerly known as The Children's House) was the first full time Montessori Nursery School in the Reading area. It has been open for over 20 years. Little Tots nurseries took it over in April 2007.

The nursery has 2 large rooms, a wet room, an art room, a quiet reading area within the computer room, a cloakroom and a fantastic outdoor space.

We have a really lovely garden here and a full outdoor learning curriculum. The garden is designed with many activities that the children can learn from and they are all encouraged to 'dig in'. We get the children in their wellies and get outside as often as possible.

We also have guinea pigs, hamsters, fish and giant land snails here too!
