Montessori community manifesto: Reaching out

With the ability to meet the needs of vulnerable children, Montessori believes it has a vital role to play in the Government's childcare agenda.

The trustees of the Montessori St Nicholas charity have pledged £500,000 over three years to help Montessori achieve the aims set out in its Community Manifesto, which was launched at the House of Commons last December.

The manifesto outlines an ambitious plan for Montessori to expand its national reach and take its practice into areas of disadvantage. Its aim is to become integral to UK practice and be at the heart of the Government's childcare agenda, with more trained practitioners and more settings giving children a Montessori start. It also believes that Montessori can make a valuable contribution to the two-year-old offer and wants to support this.
