Little Orchard Montessori Nursery was started by Jane Tuson in 1981, and later
moved to one of our current sites: The Recreational Hall, in South Brent. The current proprietors took over in September 2005 and due to demand and a local need for full day care we opened a second
Montessori nursery in January 2011, on the old school site at Sparkwell.
Proprietors:
Tracey Bruce – South Brent Manager/Sparkwell
Montessori Teacher
Tracey is a fully qualified childcare professional holding the International Montessori
Diploma and NAMCW Diploma, with a wealth of experience and knowledge in a variety of child care settings. Tracey has worked
as a nanny in the local area as well as Bristol and London for media professionals. Tracey gave up work to start her own family,
and fell in love with the Montessori philosophy when seeking the best for her children. It has been her lifelong ambition to own her own nurseries, which she is now happily
pursuing by dividing her time during the week supporting the management of the South Brent Nursery and working as the Sparkwell Montessori Lead Teacher.
Caroline Lucas – Sparkwell Manager
Caroline is a fully qualified childcare professional holding the International Montessori Diploma, NNEB Diploma and ILM
Business Management Level 4. During her college education, Caroline became inspired by the Montessori philosophy and its benefits for children. Caroline has worked in the local area as a nanny for professional families and at a Montessori
nursery. She is now very proud to be the owner of her own Montessori nurseries and is currently supporting the management
of South Brent Nursery and is the manager of Sparkwell.
“Maria Montessori and her ground breaking educational
methods fascinate, amaze and inspire, and we are delighted to be able to offer this education philosophy in our nursery.”
Tracey and Caroline are both Montessori qualified and regularly attend short courses and study days to ensure they
remain current on all issues regarding the provision of early year’s education.
Above all we respect the
children we care for, are pleasant and polite at all times and are responsive to the needs of the individual child.
