Top 10 Best Independent schools in Twickenham

“Our daughter is incredibly happy here. The team is extremely professional and the level of care is exceptional. The Montessori approach has also helped our daughter with her self confidence and independence.”

“I have worked with this school for 2 years. Great place to work.”

“My daughter joined St. Margarets Montessori in November 2020 and we highly recommend it. Prior to her joining, we searched and vetted over 20 nursery's in and around the area and this by far was outstanding in all aspects. We never regretted our decision. The teacher's are highly qualified, so warm, genuine, caring yet extremely professional. My little one has so much fun and has also learnt lots. The montessori has a huge outside space in comparison to other nurseries we saw. The children are exposed to lots of activities and apparatus to suit all capabilities both inside and outside. We love the weekly updates with photos that we receive from the montessori and the fact that they have an open door policy for any queries about our child. My daughter loves going there and we love seeing her smiling and happy everyday at drop offs.”

“Monkey puzzle is a amazing place to learn and also have fun. The mean thing that makes mokey puzzle special is the staff always smiling and welcoming and they always put the children needs first.”

“My two kids are very happy at Teddies- staff are brilliant!”

“My son just started here and he absolutely loves it! To the point he cries to not go home! I am so impressed by the school, the location is lovely and the teachers great, he has honestly been so happy so far, I would say it is worth every penny!”

“We have had such a positive experience with this nursery I thought it deserved sharing. Our 1 year old started a few months ago and the staff have just gone above and beyond in their care. The Manager Lizzie answered every question we could possibly have without hesitation on our first meeting. Walking around on a tour you can see that she knows every child in each class and they run up to her to say hello. Since starting she has spent one on one time with our child playing football and knows every detail of his day when we see her. How she finds the time to go to this level of detail while managing everything I have no idea! Gemma who supports her is the same and alongside our key workers Lauren and Faith they have helped make the transition so smooth and really tailored their care for our child. (Accommodating our nap times/baby lead weaning/suggesting where to bring personal toys or comforters from home etc). Each morning they take onboard any requests we have and every evening they give us a full de-brief of his day. They also offered courtesy calls throughout the day if we had any worries or needed reassurance after he had been unwell at the weekend. While we haven't met the other staff in person they seem to know our son and regularly wave if we see them out on walks on days when he is not in nursery! All in all we would very much recommend the nursery based on the personnel and the level of care.”

“Lovely little nursery. The staff are so kind, my son loves it there and is excited to go each day. Definitely recommend it.”

“We are so happy we chose to send our son here just after his first birthday. The staff are so caring and competent. He loves going to nursery and thrives under the care of the staff.”

“This is a wonderful nursery! The setting is homely and the staff are dedicated, knowledgeable and very caring. My daughter was in the Pre-school room for 18 months and has been given all the tools she needs to start school with ease. I am often amazed by the wonderful artwork she brings home and she loves all the special activities such as ballet, music lessons and visiting the nursery's allotment. The staff have always been quick to react to any concern I have and produce a monthly newsletter to keep parents up to date with future plans. They do everything they can to inspire the children, e.g. this Spring they hatched chicks and the year before they hatched butterflies. It's been clear from the offset that to staff it's a vocation and not just a job. I could not have left my child in safer hands.”

“How lucky we were to find this amazing nursery. My boys started here just before their 2nd birthday and have absolutely thrived under the care of all the wonderful staff here. Not only have they helped my boys grow into wonderful, caring, inquisitive and very healthy 4 year olds they have given them an amazing educational grounding ready to start their school journey in the next few months. They both have a wonderful grasp of phonics, a deep love of numbers, can write their own names, sing numerous songs in mandarin and have truly developed a love of nature. I'm frequently being told what is and isn't 'good for the planet'. The nursery setting couldn't be more delightful, right in the middle of Marble Hill park, which essentially becomes their extended playground on daily visits out. I can't recommend this place highly enough.”

“Didn't attend this school but knowing that James Watson works for this school reassures me. As he is a marvel of a teacher. He is a hero, ever since he trained me to who I am when he was at Fairholme”
