Welcome to Activity City baby and toddler classes
"Embark on a Journey of Montessori Magic: Celebrating the Unique Brilliance of Three Children Simultaneously!"
Montessori Inspired Baby and Toddler Classes in Hockley, Essex
Hello, I am Lucy. Welcome to my Montessori classes, where your child’s growth and happiness is at the heart of everything. I’m dedicated to providing personalised attention, ensuring every child feels valued and supported in our high adult-to-child ratio environment.
In my thoughtfully prepared space, your child’s individuality shines. I focus on nurturing their self-confidence and belief in their abilities. Each activity is tailored to their interests, and we go on monthly outings to further enrich those passions. Additionally, resources are provided weekly for at-home exploration, fostering collaborative learning between us.
My aim is to make each class a place your child eagerly anticipates, where they feel comfortable separating from you with ease. If children take a little longer to separate and you’d like longer to settle your child- that’s fine by me. It is all about what works best for you and your family.
Creating a calm and focused atmosphere is paramount, allowing genuine learning to flourish. As the parent or carer, your insights are invaluable. I’m here to collaborate with you, offering effective parenting skills and insights into childhood behaviours, should you desire. Together we can create an enriching and nurturing environment where your child can thrive and grow.

Small classes
My small classes, ensure each child is celebrated and their emotional and educational needs are met. Following the Montessori method, I observe the children’s play, identify their interests, and prepare resources to extend their curiosity. I introduce new experiences to enhance their learning journey, giving every child the attention, they deserve.
Why Montessori inspired education?
After 18 years of working with the Montessori method, I’ve witnessed its enchanting effects first hand. Montessori Inspired Education offers a distinctive and individualised approach to learning, prioritising the child’s role in their educational journey. Here, each child’s unique abilities are celebrated and valued, fostering an environment of utmost respect. Our home sessions span four hours, led by the child themselves. With both indoor and outdoor access, they enjoy abundant opportunities for purposeful play.
The prepared environment
The learning environment is meticulously crafted to address each child’s developmental requirements. Our resources are hands-on, promoting practical skills applicable in real-life scenarios. This customised approach empowers children to reach their full potential. The environment encourages independence, with children tending to tasks like watering vegetables and preparing healthy meals, fostering a beautiful sense of autonomy. Children thrive when they’re encouraged to follow their own passions and ideas. In our Montessori-inspired environment, we provide a range of traditional and innovative resources that ignite children’s natural curiosity and love for learning. From real tools like glass jugs to classic Montessori materials like the pink tower and sandpaper numerals, each item is carefully selected to promote holistic, tactile learning. Our activities are designed to foster problem-solving and critical thinking skills, many of which are customised for each child and handmade by me. Additionally, you can borrow resources to continue learning at home, so that we can work closely together to inspire and support your child’s passions.
