Welcome to the Montessori Evaluation and Accreditation Board (MEAB) site.

Here you can find out more about the MEAB scheme, introduced by the Montessori St Nicholas charity, which aims to ensure that all schools using the Montessori name in the UK offer high quality education and care to children.

There are many benefits of MEAB accreditation for Montessori schools, Montessori teachers, prospective parents, and of course the children attending the schools.

The accreditation visits look at how the setting delivers the Montessori principles and should be read alongside the setting's Ofsted report which looks at the legal issues involved in running a school. In Scotland settings are inspected by HMIE (education) and the Care Commission (Care) in place of Ofsted. These reports are available on the relevant websites while you can access the MEAB reports through this site.

The scheme has been developed with the British Accreditation Council and Independent Schools Inspectorate.

Montessori International Magazine features MEAB accreditation regularly and you can also find relevant case studies illustrating settings' experiences of the accreditation process.

Is your school interested in gaining MEAB Accreditation?  If so, please contact Philip Davies on 020 7493 8300 or admin@meab.co.uk to register your interest.

The Montessori Evaluation and Accreditation Board has been developed in collaboration with the British Accreditation Council.
