Chagford Montessori Premises

Chagford Montessori is located in a converted bungalow on the edge of Chagford town, close to Chagford Primary School. The nursery comprises one main classroom, child size toilets, a small room and music room. We are fortunate to have two secure outside spaces; a playground, with climbing frame and slide, a mud kitchen, wendy house, giant xylophone and a garden, with a grassed area, willow den and pond.
