  • Montessori On The Park, London
Montessori on the Park is a private day care nursery providing high quality childcare for children aged 3 months to 5 years.
Situated in a stunning converted church on the St Marks Gate of Victoria Park and the end of Cadogan Terrace, the Nursery is perfectly positioned for both local residents and commuters into central London.

Alongside the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) curriculum, they follow the Montessori method of education, which was developed by Dr Maria Montessori, and is a child-centred educational approach. It is an approach that focuses on the development of the whole child, physical, social, emotional and cognitive.

The Montessori Method is an approach to learning which emphasizes active learning, independence, cooperation, and learning in harmony with each child’s unique pace of development. It is a holistic approach emphasizing all aspects of development, rather than on attaining specific pieces of information. The Pre-School children take part in daily Montessori sessions with a qualified Montessori teacher.

The Nursery’s approach goes above and beyond the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) to foster deep level learning and optimise potential.

They offer a range of unique educational experiences which enable children to become successful, lifelong learners including, Wake up and shake up, a range of bespoke activities which promote your child’s well-being and confidence, and Garden Champions.

They also offer unique educational experiences which enable children reach their full potential including yoga, Spanish, drama, cookery and gardening as well as trips out into the community.

The dedicated staff team support children to fulfil their potential through a range of engaging experiences and learning opportunities, which are tailored to each child’s own developmental needs and interests, ensuring they are fully prepared for their next steps in education.

My son loves going to nursery, he loves his teacher and friends. The staff are always super helpful and kind and we couldn’t wish a better place to leave him!
We are so happy with the nursery that our other son, who will come heart side in July, is already on the waiting list!

We have been amazed by the flexible and supportive approach, we needed temporary childcare when schools closed for our 4 year old, the manager was so helpful and our son has loved it!

I am an Auntie of a child who is attending this nursery. It has been duly noted for the past months that the staff have been extremely helpful and go over and beyond, also during much rather challenging times that we are all facing now. Response from the management is second to none, whenever my sister
has any questions or concerns they are acted upon immediately. I personally think that having a nursery from which you are getting the right level of support and communication is a huge relief, as if life with a toddler is not challenging enough right?! I have heard so many compliments until the present moment, that it makes me want to go on a waiting list even before I even start to plan for my own pregnancy! Just wanted to share my personal point of view as I know it may be helpful for someone who is like me, scrolling and looking at what is in the area when the need comes in!

Our baby loves it here. He settled in so smoothly. The baby team is amazing. Very caring and devoted. The children are very looked after and well stimulated. Highly recommend, if only the waiting list was shorter.

My daughter loves going to Montessori On The Park. She always comes home in a very good mood, and with some new skill to show off. Surprisingly, she's not been ill or even caught many colds, so I can only deduce that the nursery really is being hot on hygiene in times of Covid-19. This is very reassuring.
The staff all seem lovely and I am so glad we got a place here!

Our son has been at Montessori On The Park since he was one, first in the baby room and now in the toddler room. We’ve always found the staff to be helpful, approachable and very loving with him. We love the atmosphere and are looking forward to sending our youngest there too soon.

Wonderful nursery with staff that have taken the time to get to know me and my baby. My baby has developed a strong bond with her key persons and smiles and waves and claps with excitement each morning when being dropped off. As a parent, I appreciate the daily reports from staff on the fun activities
they have been up to (babies do gardening and breadmaking!) and the vast amounts of good, healthy food she is provided with throughout the day.

The place was recommended to me by two of my friends and a neighbour.
My kid loves being at the nurser,y and when I pick him up, I see he was looked after.
I like the staff and the way they communicate with us. It’s my second nursery and by far the best that I have come across.

My daughter runs into nursery in the morning and does not look back. She loves all her friends and teachers a lot and talks about them when we pick her up. Her teachers are very friendly and knowledgeable and they do a large variety of activities with them. The managers are helpful, they spend lots
of time in the classrooms as well. School is always very clean and tidy and everyone is smiling.

Our daughter is in the toddler's classroom. She is really happy. The team are welcoming, carrying and supportive. We received great support in developing her language. Proximity to the park is a massive bonus and it's great to know that they spend lots of time outdoors.

We only started in pre-school with our son and have had a great experience. He learns a lot in all sorts of topics. He is now well prepared for reception in September. We would strongly recommend the nursery to anyone. The staff are brilliant with kids and always ready to help with strategies. The communication
with the nursery is generally really good and has been exceptional ever since the pandemic started.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.786)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.786) out of 10 for Montessori On The Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 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 4.844 for Montessori On The Park is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.844

  • 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 4.942 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Montessori On The Park is based on 13 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 69 number of registered child places is 13.8. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.8 = 0.942

  • 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.
