  Primary Montessori
   

The setting (day care, nursery and/or school) should:

•    be a member of the Montessori Schools Association (MSA)

•    be established for more than two years, and the same applies in case of new ownership

•    have been inspected by Ofsted at least once since they were established/in new ownership*

•    follow the EYFS, or other national regulatory framework *

•    be committed to the delivery of high quality Montessori education for children from at least one of these age-groups: birth to two/three, two/three to five/six, six to nine, or nine to twelve

•    have qualified Montessori teachers leading the learning, supported by practitioners committed to continued professional development

•    have a prepared learning environment (both inside and outside) enabling children to learn following Montessori’s description of children’s natural path of development

•    trust and respect children’s need to learn and develop (play and work) during the two and a half to three hour work cycle which facilitates free-flow learning opportunities in all areas of learning

•    be committed to working closely with parents

•    be prepared to commit to the accreditation as a means of ongoing professional development of the setting to which the whole school team contributes.

*In the event that an accredited setting fails to meet the standards of its national statutory framework (such as Ofsted) its MEAB status will be suspended until such time that these standards are deemed to be met.
