Small, Supportive, and Rooted in Montessori Values

About Us

Oak Tree Montessori is a child-led learning community founded by Montessori parents and teachers. We offer a nurturing, Montessori-based tuition group for home-educated, primary-age children in Bristol and North Somerset.

Who Are We For Oaktree Montesorri

Who Are We For?

Are you the parent of...

  • A child who’s feeling unhappy or unfulfilled at school and dreading the start of a new term.
  • A child at home who’s eager to be part of a vibrant, social community.
    Or
  • A home-educating family seeking support in balancing work and education.

...then Oak Tree Montessori is for you! We're here to support your family's home-ed journey.

Our Approach

Our motto is purposeful learning through discovery. We nurture children’s natural desire to explore the world, understand themselves and make friends.

Follow the Child - Supporting Individual Growth at Every Stage

We honour each child’s unique developmental path, offering a carefully prepared Montessori environment that nurtures their intrinsic motivation and love for learning.

Liberty Within Limits - Fostering Independence with Purpose

Through freedom within a structured environment, children develop self-discipline, responsibility, and a deep sense of purpose, guided by Montessori principles.

Mastery Through Practice - Building Confidence and Competence

Repetition with purposeful work leads to deep understanding and independence, helping children refine their skills and build confidence through self-correcting materials.

Hands-On Learning - Engaging Minds Through Experience

Our Montessori materials are scientifically designed to cultivate hands-on, self-directed exploration, allowing children to internalise complex concepts through concrete experience.

Grace and Courtesy - Cultivating Respect and Kindness

Embedded in daily life, Montessori lessons in grace and courtesy foster a respectful, inclusive, and collaborative community where children learn to navigate social interactions with empathy and care.

Equipped for Learning and Exploration

Children are welcome to wear comfortable clothing, including slippers or indoor shoes. We encourage them to bring clothing that is appropriate for the weather eg waterproofs and wellies, or sun-hats - which can be stored in their bag, ready for when they need it.

Partnership with Parents - Developing Community

We work in partnership with parents to build community and to ensure each child receives the support they need.
