Montessori schools in London

“My daughter spent two wonderful years at Beeches with Sharon and the team 2017/2019. She learned so much in this time, little things like how to put on her coat, important things like early years writing skills and she made so many things (which we have kept) cooking classes were great, also class sports days were always fun. The school was always clean and tidy, staff were very caring and dependable. I was very sad to see her leave for pre school. I absolutely would recommend Beeches and want to say thank you to Sharon for turning my little toddler into the superstar she is today .. Claire G”

“Thank you Mrs Hatice and team for looking after my little girl, always being supportive and flexible with me. Helping me out with the kids knowing that I don't have family here. I'm glad I've chosen this nursery and looking forward for my boy to start with you. Simply thank you....”

“An exceptional nursery with a dedicated and loving team of staff led by a superb headmistress.”

“Highly recommended. Great approach with all of the children, learning through play. Both boys have loved it here and the staff are so caring they are like part of the family”

“A most challenging review to write, only because it’s truly difficult to find the necessary words to fully express how incredible a nursery Unity is. My family, with our 3 year old little boy, arrived in London at the beginning of this year. Having previously sent our son to a Montessori nursery back home in South Africa and having witnessed the amazing growth he experienced there, we were intent on finding a similar experience for him here in North London. Before arriving in London, we had found and enrolled him at another nearby Montessori, but realised rather quickly, after several days of him being there, that it was not the ‘true’ Montessori experience we had expected or wanted for him. We did a quick Google search and stumbled upon Unity Montessori, which was also luckily quite near to us. A quick, impromptu meeting with Alex and visit to her lovely campus and our son was immediately enrolled at Unity. Needless to say our expectations these past 6 months have been more than exceeded. Whilst I haven’t personally visited every nursery in North London, I struggle to believe there could be any holistically superior to Unity Montessori. If for no other reason than the amazing staff who work there and the phenomenal care they provide for each and every child. It’s not long before you realise how invested they are in your child. Even though we received regular updates from the nursery, which we were truly grateful for, regardless of this we always knew and trusted in the fact that the care he was receiving was second to none. The growth our child has experienced during his short 6 month stint at Unity has been nothing short of unbelievable. Every aspect of his being - emotionally, physically and mentally - has improved in bounds. If you’re in search of the very best nursery for your child and are lucky enough to live nearby to Unity, sending them there is a no-brainer. If you don’t live nearby, it’s worth the trek! Enrolling your child at this nursery is truly the very best start you can give your child in life. Our only regret is that our son could not stay for longer. Thank you Alex, Alena (our child’s primary teacher) and the rest of the incredible teachers at Unity!”

“If you want a place where staff are passionate about what they do this is the place. Within 4 weeks of our daughter starting herez we started to notice huge advancements in so many areas. And that advancement pace didnt stop. What struck me the most was the the variety of things the children learnz shown buy our daughter bringing home at least 3 things she has created that day. We have tried a new nurseries but this is by far tge best. Diane the owner/manager is amazing , always positive and energetic.”

“This nursery is an amazing space for any child to grow and develop. Our twins came along in leaps and bounds whilst being cared for and taught by the outstanding teachers at Nightingale 2 Montessori. The teachers make all the difference and your children will be well looked after by the outstanding team at this nursery.”

“A wonderful nursery, my 3 year old loves schooling here. Great teachers that truly care about the wellbeing and development of my child. The teachers and management are very kind, flexible and keep you informed every step of the way. My son has been schooling here for nearly 8 months and I can definitely see an improvement (in social skills, communication and intellect). He is always truly excited to go to school and I hope that passion for learning never changes. Thank you for being a wonderful nursery at Cute Kids Montessori!”

“Excellent learning environment for our kids. All children are taught to be responsible and respect each other from a young age. Teachers are great with the kids. A wonderful experience for young children.”

“I absolutely love this nursery! My daughter joined it when she was 1y 4m and settled in pretty quickly. All staff in Le Petit Canards group is amazing: very supportive, attentive, kind and polite. Whenever I need a help (for example with sleep or behavior) I can 100% rely and trust my daughter’s key person and the Head of the Room, as they give me good advices. Honestly, I feel like my daughter is in the best room with the best staff. She’s learning A LOT there: songs, words, numbers, and good behavior. She knows how to support other kids when they are upset and give them a hand when they ask for a help. I feel like us (parents) and this nursery are working together to raise her. They really care about every single child in this group and their unique personality. Lots of fun activities as well: festival of colours, picnics, weekly forest school,.. I don’t have words to describe how happy are with this nursery and especially Le Petit Canards group. My only wish would be if they can make outdoor play in the garden (by the way which is quite large and fantastic designed) a bit longer or at least twice a day, as I feel like 30 min outdoor play a day is not enough for a toddler. Hope this will be improved after COVID situation.”

“Fantastic nursery, my daughter thoroughly enjoyed every day she spent here. Staff were great, she was safe and happy and she learnt so many life skills!”

“I have children at the nursery and Upper School. It’s a very happy, supportive, and creative environment, with highly committed and friendly staff. The children learn so much but have lots of fun doing it!”

“Went here as a child, beautiful start to my education!”

“Excellent Pre-school. Really loving and caring staff. Could not recommend them enough”

“We feel this Montessori contributed to helping James get through selection and thrive at his new school.”

“My daughter has been attending Blossom Time since beginning of the year and I cannot express how much this has changed our lives. She is as much in love with the nursery as I am and we couldn't have wished for nicer and kinder people to introduce her into the world of education. Caterina and Judit, as well as the whole team, have been amazing since the moment we met, they've been so friendly and pleasant to talk to and made my daughter's transition into nursery so easy. The nursery is absolutely gorgeous. It's brand new, beautiful and incredibly spacious. There is a countless number of montessori toys and activities, all organised neatly in categories. As a family who finds music very important, I was excited to know there is even a piano that the teachers play for the children. The outdoor area is as well massive and full of entertainment. Everything they do in Blossom Time is full of heart and it's obvious how dedicated they are to create not just a great learning environment for the children but an actual paradise for kids. I couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery and my daughter is ecstatic to go there every time.”

“I can not speak highly enough of Beech Oak Pre-school. The staff are friendly, professional and very loving to the children, which makes going to work so much easier. They have given my son a great start to schooling life. Anyone looking for a local nursery/preschool MUST apply you won't regret it”

“My little girl started at Michelle's in September and every single step has been the most positive experience for both of us, I couldn't have hoped for more! I was nervous about how long it would take her to settle in as it was pretty much her first experience of childcare outside of our family. It took only two days before she was running down the driveway desperate to get inside. Michelle is so nurturing and knowledgeable and has the child's best interests at the forefront of every part of the day. Since starting we have also seen a huge benefit to our home life thanks to the Montessori approach and Michelle's consistent expectation of behaviour. No more kicking and screaming when we have to leave the playground, no more melt downs when she doesn't get her way and continued progress in language, fine and gross motor skills and problem solving. It has been amazing to see her independence and confidence grow and how much she has learnt in just a few months. As a parent the most wonderful feeling is being able to leave your child with someone who you have complete confidence in.”

“This nursery is simply fantastic. Our 18 month old daughter settled in instantnly and had great time. The nursery staff is very passionate about their work, food is cooked fresh from scratch, and there is plenty activities to keep kids entertain and develop their skills. You can tell that everyone is just very happy there. I would highly recommend that nursery to everyone.”

“Kids love the Pre School! Great facilities, little outdoor forest area, great staff.”

“My daughter attended the baby room of the nursery and couldn’t recommend highly enough. Teachers are great, very clean and tidy. She was very happy and flourished in the environment.”

“Positive experience, staff are approachable and willing to discuss whatever concern. My daughter is always mentioning their names telling me what she's learned from them”

“Wonderful nursery, with a homely feel. My son has been very happy there since he joined 7 months ago, and has come on leaps and bounds developmentally, including his confidence. Big thanks to the team for all the care and support you provide, in a stimulating environment. We love receive the photo updates and hearing about everything he’s got up to that day, playing out in the garden, painting, baking.. I feel secure In the knowledge he’s safe and having fun with his little friends!”

“A brilliant, nurturing nursery. Small number of children so care is focused and personal. Excellent ethos and approach to care, learning and social and emotional development for young children. Huge variety of activities and trips, all excellently communicated to parents on a daily basis. Highly recommended.”

“We are the photographers at this nursery and I can tell you, that is one of the best we visit. The staff are friendly and the children happy”
