About us
Simon Arthur
10 years ago I witnessed an extraordinary
transformation in my oldest daughter Amy,
then aged 2, when she started at our local
Montessori Nursery and within weeks
flourished in terms of her confidence, self
esteem and happiness. It stuck in my mind.
After many years of working in publishing and
the City, I decided to retrain as a Montessori
teacher with a view to setting up my own
school.
The Pelican Nursery is the culmination of a
long period of retraining and chasing a dream
for me and upheaval for my long-suffering
wife Shirley.
I am passionate about maintaining an
environment where young children can flourish
and work with a team of like-minded and
experienced professional nursery teachers to
make this happen.
At the Pelican the personalities and skills of all
those who work here blend to create a safe,
happy and stimulating environment where
your children can thrive.
