We promote children’s enjoyment of learning: we support their growing independence both in everyday life and in their natural capacity to learn, and provide a stimulating environment that enables them to learn through all their senses. As an addition to our curriculum we also invite specialist teachers to do extracurricular activities, such as French, Yoga and Drama, Music & Movement with Jessica Sparkles. Little Fingers Montessori Nursery in Barry Road, East Dulwich, has a Baby Room for 3 months to 2 year old's, one of the very few Montessori baby rooms in South London, as well as a Pre-School for 2 to 5 years old's.

Recent trips have included Dulwich Park, Dulwich Library, Dulwich Picture Gallery, Crystal Palace Farm and the Horniman Museum.
