Early education institutions in Richmond

“Outdoor Owls is just not a nursery, they offer a very inclusive and holistic way to explore the beautiful world we inhabit and they do it with so much presence and love. This has been so important in the development of our child.Though it has only been few months, the changes we get to see in him are profound. The way his sense of expression and self confidence has developed in this relatively short period of time is incredible. He has started to tell stories, make new friends and get comfortable with new people around. Everytime we pick and drop him the space feels so alive! The enthusiasm of the children mixed with the freshness of nature, it is always a treat to be in that energetic space even for few minutes. A lot of work and effort goes into being around and manage so many kids in the outdoors, but the teachers do it so effortlessly. They are so committed to their wellbeing. They are the perfect nurtures and a home away from home. Outdoors has been very important to us growing up so we were very excited for our child but Outdoor Owls turned out to be much more than what we expected, they are a perfect place to lay the foundation. I would highly recommend sending kids to an actual forest school/nursery like Outdoor Owls for a holistic physical, mental and emotional development.”

“Both my children have loved going to nursery here. The staff are lovely and speak to the children with kindness and respect. All the rooms lead out onto the gardens and the kids have a lot of space to play on bikes. My eldest learnt how to ride a balance bike at nursery. The food is fresh, delicious and filling. Most importantly my daughter is happy and loves attending nursery. Keep up the good work”

“Lovely day out. Spent 4 hours there. Still so much left to see. Will be visiting again soon.”

“Lovely helpful staff. Interest program for kids under 5 and parents.”

“Our daughter has been attending Twickenham Park nursery since she was six months old. The staff are wonderfully caring and loving and she enjoys going there. The food on offer is excellent with lots of variety and a four week menu on rotation (which makes our efforts at home pale in comparison). We have no hesitation in highly recommending Twickenham Park nursery as a childcare provider.”

“We tried a few different sensory classes, and this was by far the best. Lots of varied props, toys and instruments. Julia is always so welcoming and enthusiastic.”

“Hi my name is Katharina, I am a university student studying early childhood education and part of my study is to do some work experience in an educational setting. I chose to work at the Monkey puzzle Nursery in Sheen because it’s close to my university, safe, it’s a nice area, a small nursery too that has every age group and the team that works there is super friendly and makes you feel like you are part of their little family.”

“Our son attends Kew Montessori and we simply couldn’t be happier. He runs through the doors every morning, excited to see his teachers who greet him with cuddles, love and laughter. We feel very safe and secure in the knowledge that our son is confidently learning, happy and beautifully cared for every day. It’s brilliantly run and the office staff are always helpful and kind. We look forward to our second child attending in the future.”

“My daughter attended for 2 years and it was a wonderful time. The school team is sensational, very well prepared and attentive. We are very happy with this nursery.”

“Wholeheartedly recommend. Our elder daughter has had two very happy and fulfilling years here and our younger daughter will hopefully start here later this year. Teaching staff have been excellent throughout and are totally dedicated to the children in every way.”

“Spent 6 long happy years at the school loved it to bits loads of great memories Have visited a few times since being at University and my what modern buildings and facilities the school now has”

“It is the best school I have ever been to I love it”

“A vary well balanced school, The teaching are staff are very good and I am happy with the teaching experience.”

“Windham is my son’s first nursery, prior to Windham we only attended Montessori lessons. I knew that this nursery had the outstanding Ofsted rating, but I was still really worried how my son would adapt as he was used to being at home with a baby-sitter while I was working from home. We moved to England from a different country and his English wasn’t good enough to express himself well. Teachers at Windham surrounded my son with such warmth, attention and care that he became almost fluent in English in 2 months time! (sounds incredible, but that’s the reality). They created a customised timeline board for him to make sure he could always indicate whether he was hungry, wanted a drink and made sure he never felt lost. The selection of activities at Windham throughout a term was impressive as well: they invited farms with different animals and kids could feed them from the bottles themselves. Kids observed how caterpillars turned into butterflies etc. During the international days, there was an incredible event with African drums orchestrated by an instructor (a very charismatic man in a national suit). Each child had a drum, the entire group of kids was practicing together. Bravo to the entire Windham team, you exceed the best expectations!”

“We are thrilled with the nursery & could not be happier with the environment and staff team. Thank you guys!”

“Both my two daughters attended this school It is an amazing school with amazing staff And I will be sending my third daughter here also.”

“Small, local and personal service.Great facilities for your child.”

“A lovely nurturing environment. My son is very happy at Kings House school”
