Frogmore Montessori Plymouth
Workshop Information Booklet
Why choose Frogmore Nursery?
Frogmore Montessori is a small family-run nursery school in the Eggbuckland area of
Plymouth. The detached 2-story house has a large garden and mature trees, which
gives a lovely feeling of seclusion on the outskirts of a modern city. This is a fulltime
nursery school setting which offers daycare, so the rooms and materials you will use,
are used by the children throughout the week!
We are close to the A38 (known as the Devon Expressway) which connects all of Corn-
wall, Dartmoor and the South Hams to Plymouth. This is an ideal training location for
students living in the South West who would prefer not to travel out of the region to
access the Apparatus Workshop.
Our workshop is spread over seven weekends across the year – from September to
March. Attendance is required on both the Saturday and the Sunday, but provides an
opportunity to complete the Apparatus element of your course to fit around your
working pattern - no need to book a week/two weeks annual leave! The aim is also to
reduce the time-commitment to just over half the year.
This workshop would also be ideal whether you are currently working in a nursery
setting or are following an alternative career.
I have run workshops and courses over many
years and have frequently undertaken profession-
al development training myself, so I understand
what studying feels like from the other side of the
computer! With a maximum of twelve students
this workshop offers an opportunity for discussion
and support, to network with other students and
to share experiences with new friends.

Workshop Hours and Preparation
Workshop Hours
For the Apparatus workshop hours will be between 10am and 4:30pm which will
include two hours of supervised apparatus practice.
Remember to bring notebook, pens, coloured pencils and a laptop/tablet will be useful to
access the VLE whilst here. The training centre will provide free Wi-Fi although this may
be limited in the Foxes Den.
Preparation for Apparatus Workshop
You will need to refer to MCI modules 6 - 10 during the sessions (AEL, Sensorial
Education, Literacy, Numeracy, KUW). We advise you to work from a hard copy, in printed
form, which you can either print off in advance or buy from the office of the training
centre. (The Literacy and Numeracy modules should be printed in colour). The complete
set of PDF’s of all your Modules is available in the resources section in Moodle (in the sub
-folder Complete Module Texts).
If you wish to view and work with the modules electronically you will need to bring your
laptop/tablet with you. Electronic devices should be brought to the training centre fully
charged. For health and safety reasons, devices cannot be plugged into the mains in the
classroom.
Prior to the workshop please read all the introduction sections of the curriculum modules
if you have not yet reached them in your schedule. This will support you in the oral
professional discussion that forms part of your final assessment for the workshop.
Introduction to Montessori Practice students cannot be awarded with the MCI certificate unless the practical assessment is successfully completed. Students who do not successfully complete this part of the course are invited to book for another workshop, which will incur an additional charge.
The practical assessment and professional discussion will last approximately 1½ hours and you will be allocated a specific time during the workshop. You will be informed of the schedule during a later session of the workshop.
