Accreditation

STAR serves as a marker of quality educational provision, differentiating Montessori providers and offering a sign that families can trust as they seek out the highest quality educational provision for their children.

Our STAR Accreditation provides assurance to communities of quality compliance and on-going embedded practice routed in authentic, sustainable Montessori and Montessori-inspired, practice for nurseries, pre-schools, home-based educators, early-intervention, community groups… the list goes on!

We offer a spotlight to these providers and ensure that the education sector; parents; families; prospective employees and wider audiences recognise our quality mark.

Our recognition processes centre around integrated reflective practice and fully embedded improvement plans. We encourage self-development and due regard for on-going quality management within professional practice and we support settings to identify, document, highlight and promote Montessori best practice, enabling individual settings to evidence their own journey towards successful Accreditation.

Families and Communities will seek out evidence of high standards; compliance and professional recognition – all confirmed by the achievement of a STAR certificate and use of our logo.

We found the STAR Accreditation process to be a positive experience. It has supported us as a whole team and provided us with the opportunity to consider points of reflection… provoking new ideas to trial over the next year and triggering conversation on topics we may not have explored prior… this will help us ensure our practice is the best possible for the children who attend. The Accreditation visit gave us a chance to discuss and celebrate the Montessori Philosophy. We believe that it has strengthened our beliefs further and has helped us focus on our vision.
