A NURSERY was declared officially open at a simple ceremony.

The Mayor of Hillingdon, Councillor Michael Markham, cut the ribbon at Wetherby House Montessori Nursery, based at London School of Theology, in Green Lane, Northwood, last week.

The nursery takes children from six months to five years.

It follows the Montessori method of teaching, devised by Dr Maria Montessori in the early 20th century, which aims to teach by stimulating the senses of the child and by developing their independence and freedom of expression.
