Our collaboration with Home-Start West Somerset – Watch our short film!

Montessori Global Education proudly continues its collaboration with Home-Start West Somerset to enrich their vital family support work – putting children and young families at the heart of everything they do.

Our work together started in 2023, focussed on supporting provision for families with the youngest children – babies and their parents and care-givers – providing essential guidance, reassurance and confidence-building opportunities where families need it most: in homes, local communities and within support networks.

Montessori Global Education offered its interactive study programme to the Home-Start West Somerset team. Learners were given a dedicated tutor, space for guided reflection, and support in identifying how to put their learning into practice. The team now applies a Montessori, child-centred approach across several programmes of work, including Baby Start.
