About Us
Welcome to Pebble Path Montessori, a small, nurturing nursery in the heart of Billericay, Essex, where children aged 6 months to 4 years are guided with care, respect, and curiosity.
Founded in 2019 by Ana Sousa, an experienced Montessori educator and passionate advocate for child-led learning, our nursery was born from a desire to create a truly child-focused environment where the unique rhythm of every child is honoured. Over the past five years, we've built a warm and inclusive community where families feel supported and children thrive.
At Pebble Path, we follow the time-tested principles of Dr. Maria Montessori, believing that children flourish when given the freedom to explore within clear and thoughtful boundaries. Our approach nurtures independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning—starting from the earliest days of infancy.
Testimonies from parents
"As working parents, it means so much to have a place where we know our child is safe, loved, and understood. The regular updates, photos, and open communication give us peace of mind. We truly feel part of a supportive community." — Priya M., parent of a 1-year-old
"Pebble Path Montessori has been a second home for our daughter. The teachers are incredibly nurturing and patient, and we've seen her blossom both socially and emotionally. Every day she comes home excited to tell us what she learned!" — Riva R., parent of a 1.5-year-old
"We love how the Montessori approach encourages independence and critical thinking. Our son has become so confident in doing things on his own, from dressing himself to helping set the table. We’re so grateful for the gentle guidance he receives every day." — Emmanuel & Grace T., parents of a 3-year-old
