I can't recommend St Mary's Summerstown highly enough. What truly sets them apart is their outstanding ability to provide individualized care and attention to each child's unique needs. They have been particularly remarkable in supporting my son's hyperactivity, showing incredible patience, understanding,
and professional expertise in their approach.
The staff creates an environment where children genuinely love to be my kid's enthusiasm to attend each day speaks volumes about the warm, nurturing atmosphere. They demonstrate a perfect balance of learning and play, ensuring children feel secure while developing crucial skills.
What gives me complete confidence is knowing my children are in such capable and caring hands. Seeing my children thrive and hearing their joy when talking about their day confirms I made the right choice.
This is more than just a childcare facility - it's a place where children are truly understood, supported, and encouraged to grow.

Reply from Liz Maitland, Principal at St Mary's Summerstown Montessori Nursery School

It has been an absolute pleasure to teach your two beautiful children who are kind, caring, and very intelligent. It has been a complete joy to be part of their learning journey. They are such nice children and a real credit to you. I wish you and your family every success and happiness in the future. Lots of love.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at St Mary's Summerstown Montessori Nursery School. From the very first day, our daughter absolutely loved going there and not a single tear was shed during the drop-offs - something we deeply value as parents. The staff were nothing short of amazing, always
smiling, warm, and welcoming. They made our daughter feel safe, comfortable, and excited to learn each day.
Choosing this nursery was one of the best decisions we made, and we're incredibly grateful for the support they provided, especially during our family's relocation to another country. The team went above and beyond to help us during that time, and we truly miss them.
This nursery feels like a second home, offering a unique and nurturing environment. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a caring and professional place for their child. Thank you to the wonderful staff for giving our daughter such a happy start - we will always be thankful!

My daughter attended this brilliant nursery for two and a half years and I can honestly say sending my daughter to this nursery was the best decision I have ever made. The way I have witnessed my daughter develop into a very intelligent, confident and well-mannered little girl thanks to the hard work
and constant support of my daughter's key workers and staff. The manager is one of the most genuine and hardworking individuals you will ever meet. You can tell she has a pure passion for what she does and I am very grateful for everyone at St Mary's Summertown. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone who wants to give the child the best holistic and educational head start.

Reply from Liz Maitland, Principal at St Mary's Summerstown Montessori Nursery School

Your daughter is not only beautiful, kind and polite she is highly intelligent and the life and soul of the party. We will miss her greatly and wish you both every happiness and success in your future. Best wishes.

My son has been in nursery for eight months, and he absolutely adores it. Every morning he goes there with a big pleasure.
My son’s native language is Ukrainian, and he didn’t know English before nursery at all. He learned the language in the nursery and can communicate fluently in English now.
He
likes to make different crafts, draw pictures and play with his friends there.
Also, the nursery’s staff are very friendly and supportive. It’s such a positive experience for me and my son, so I highly recommend St Mary’s Summerstown Montessori Nursery School.

Reply from Liz Maitland, Principal at St Mary's Summerstown Montessori Nursery School

Thank you, Nataliia - we love you both. Your son is intelligent, brave and a real gentleman. He is a pleasure to teach.

This nursery has been fantastic for my son; he settled very quickly and has progressed massively since starting around 14 months ago, and he will be all set for reception when the time comes.
I couldn’t recommend this nursery anymore; it’s been a wonderful, nurturing and learning experience.

My daughter has been at the nursery for over a year and has absolutely loved it. It has been such a positive first school experience for her. She learnt so much since starting and made so many friends. The staff are really lovely; my daughter talks very fondly of all staff and misses them when we are
on school holidays. She always comes out of the nursery so happy and tells me how much she has done in the day. She often brings home her artwork and bits that she has baked/cooked, which she gets very excited to show off. Overall, our experience with the nursery has been a completely positive one!

Reply from Liz Maitland, Principal at St Mary's Summerstown Montessori Nursery School

We have loved having your beautiful daughter; she is kind, intelligent, and she will be greatly missed.

My daughter started in September and from day one she settled in straight away. The staff are always smiling, very friendly and it feels very reassuring leaving my daughter in safe hands, even with Covid-19. My daughter is in a specific bubble and all the staff ensure that on entering the nursery, all
appropriate measures are put in place such as hand sanitizer and temperature checks. My daughter enjoys the activities that take place in nursery such as ballet, yoga, teddy tennis and football. The staff have given me tips on how to potty train my daughter and she was potty trained within a week. The staff at nursery helped along while she was at nursery too. She looks forward to going each day and comes home with such joy and pride with all her artwork! Attending St Mary’s Summerstown Montessori Nursery School has given my daughter the best possible start in life!

My daughter has been at the nursery for four weeks and she absolutely loves going. The staff are amazing and my daughter settled in beautifully. She wants to go and doesn’t want to leave nursery. One member of staff especially has been a God send to my daughter whom she has warmed to. I would most definitely
recommend the school to friends and family.

My son has been at St Mary's for over a year now and absolutely loves it.
All the staff are so helpful and friendly but also very professional and deal with all matters sufficiently.
Loads for the kids to do including cooking and ballet (for a small fee) plus they have Easter and Christmas plays plus
days out with the children and parents and much more.
Best nursery around and would highly recommend.

The whole team are great carers and genuinely take an interest in all the children. After viewing more than 10 nurseries I knew from the moment I walked in, that this was the one. The staff are all mature and easy to talk to, many of whom have worked there for a long time. My daughter loves it there
and I love the space, light, trees and grass they get to enjoy, which is rare in London!


The daily activities are great for small children and the skills she has learned are invaluable. I also felt that my child would be cared for and looked after which I did not feel on visiting many other nurseries where you just felt like a number. Well done to the Principal for establishing such a great nursery in Earlsfield/Tooting area.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.750)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.750) out of 10 for St Mary's Summerstown Montessori Nursery School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 5.000 for St Mary's Summerstown Montessori Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 5

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 3.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Mary's Summerstown Montessori Nursery School is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.25

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 30 number of registered child places is 6. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.5

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
