In Bracknell we take students from 3 months old in our dedicated Little Acorns Room, right through to school age in our Mighty Oaks Room.

Please note that our only availability at the moment is in our Little Acorns Baby room from Easter 2025. All rooms are full until then, and we are not considering any further placements.
Our garden has been upgraded to include a soft-landing surface, a climbing frame with a slide and a fireman’s pole. We also have a mud kitchen, sand and waterplay areas and a digging area where children can look for worms and other exciting wildlife! We also have a Pirate ship which the children love to play in.
Little Oaks - 2 Year Old's Room
The designated two year old room is designed to allow younger children to work comfortably on the floor. During freeflow the younger children are welcome to explore the three year old room as well. Activities in this room focus on early concepts such as big/little, sorting objects, early number recognition 1-5 along with construction, creativity and role play areas.
Outdoor Play
Our Main Hall
During free flow, the children can choose to work with the Montessori materials, mark making, construction or role play in the home corner to name but a few activities. The activities in this room lead on from the child’s experiences in the two year old room with natural progression, and the children are free to move between the two rooms.
Setting Overview
We are very lucky at Little Acorns Bracknell as we have sole use of the buildings and gardens giving the children a safe and secure place to play, learn and develop. The building has been updated and has undergone extensive improvements including new bathrooms, doors, windows and roof.
Safe Hands
The setting is led by a Montessori teacher who has a degree in Early Years Education, vast S.E.N experience and over 25 years of Montessori teaching experience. Our motivated Early Years teaching staff are trained to nurture and bring out the best in your child at such a vital stage in their development.
Montessori Maths and Language
Small phonics groups teach the children letter sounds. When each child is ready, they progress to blending sounds to read simple words. Once the child is confident sounding out and blending they are ready to become supported independent readers. Montessori Mathematic skills are also developed in small groups throughout the session, always working to the child's individual ability. The children are then ready for the transition into primary school with all the attributes necessary to continue their learning & development.
Little Acorns - Baby and Toddler Room
Due to popular demand and designed to support those who work in education,
this is a term time only facility.

The Little Acorns playroom has been carefully designed to incorporate different areas of play in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum.
Each area gives children the opportunity to explore a wide variety of activities and learning experiences utilising child led free play.
The children learn in a stimulating environment. They have the choice of playing in our construction area, book area, home corner or soft play. We also have daily, adult led activities.
Our carers are always encouraging good communication using high quality interaction and visual aids.
These areas are specifically for our babies.
They have their own space offering a range of appropriate resources for them to rest and play. We have equipment to encourage rolling, sitting, bouncing and tummy time.
We have a separate sleeping room where they can sleep and rest in comfort.
