Top 20 Best Children's early years in Sevenoaks

“Really good place 2 take kids there's no pressure to talk to mums of it not confident and good interaction with group sing songs”

“Lovely place to take a baby, toddler and pre-school child!”

“From the moment we stepped foot into the nursery our son felt instantly comfortable and at home. The Children’s Workshop is like a family and has a very different feel to some of the other nurseries in the area. The staff show such love, care and understanding of the children; they plan activities based on the children’s interests (we particularly liked an update on Tapestry showing the children making dung beetles - a particular favourite of our son); they are very good (and non-judgemental) at addressing children’s individual and additional needs; they do regular updates on your child’s progress on Tapestry and they have a very holistic approach that puts an emphasis on social skills such as being kind and the children having fun. It always makes me laugh when I am in the play park with my son and all the children literally scream and flock the staff when they try and leave the nursery to go home! It just reinforces the lovely relationships that are formed at the nursery. Our son had a difficult transition into nursery, not only having been in lockdown and lacking social skills but also due to family illness. The nursery have been so supportive and have helped us develop strategies together and manage this consistently. They have also helped us to find outside agencies and courses to support us and the communication with the headteacher, nursery’s SENCO and key worker has been brilliant. We always have a very detailed, funny, warm chat with the Office Manager every time we ring up, which also shows how every member of staff has a relationship with the children and parents. TCW have shown our family considerable care and compassion when we have had issues at home and always work to do what’s best to support us all. We have alway feel like we are part of the family and that our son is safe, loved and well cared for. We have also been impressed at their calm and lack of judgement when our son has been involved in incidents and the professionalism that they have shown. I thoroughly recommend TCW and we think it truly is a lovely community gem!”

“First class prep school with great facilities…heading to senior school in September”

“My little girl loves going to St Ediths preschool and we'll both be very sad when she has to leave in July for Big school. All the ladies are lovely! They have taught my daughter so much and prepared her for moving on really well. Highly recommended!!”

“Absolutely brilliant school. Brings out the best in each pupil. Amazing academic record, particularly given there is no admission test. Couldn't recommend enough. If in doubt, meet the headmaster and you will be convinced.”

“Awesome environment for the kids and fantastic conversation with John. Looking forward to meeting again.”

“My 11month old daughter has started here. I’m impressed with the professionalism of all the staff. They are very attentive with all the children. Facilities are great and a huge variety for every child’s needs. My baby comes home to me very happy indeed. Thank you team!”

“Used to go to school here a few years ago. Great school with excellent teachers and staff. Helped me get into the secondary school I wanted.”

“My daughter has been at Orpington montessori for over a year now and loves it there. She has never once been reluctant to go in, the opposite infact and has a great relationship with all the staff there, regardless of whether or not they are her key worker. The staff are attentive and helpful, children have so many different opportunities given to them and my daughter has made loads of progress in her phonics and writing which is entirely down to the work they do with her. Even when they changed the school day to a 3.30 finish which we couldn't manage, they were flexible and allowed us to continue with an earlier pick up as those were the hours we had already signed up for, with no charge. We haven't got a bad word to say about Orpington Montessori and had a great feel for it from the first time we visited. I recommend this preschool to everyone we know who lives locally and choose to drive to take my daughter there over more local options.”
