We feel so lucky that our daughter goes to Kew Montessori, it is a wonderful little nursery, with most caring and attentive staff. The different activities each day, seasonal events, even introductions to various cultures, and traditions (often parent-led but it's lovely that it's so supported by the
nursery!) are all brilliant. I love seeing the weekly updates and pictures and seeing my daughter's progress.
The little playground right in front is such a great bonus too!
As others mentioned, the hours aren't ideal but if you can work with this and/or find wrap-around care then go for it. It's a great place!

A dream of a nursery. The staff have been exceptional in supporting my daughter (and me!) to settle into the community of Kew post-divorce. My daughter has also become more independent with her play, which has been a massive help. The little playground across from the nursery is invaluable to take the
nursery friendships further. The location is excellent, just a couple of minutes' walk from Kew Gardens station. Sometimes I wish they offered longer hours, but then you'd probably need to be on a waiting list for some time. If the timetable works for you, it's the best choice. Highly recommended.

Our son has attended Riverside Nursery Schools, Kew Montessori for approximately two years, and has had the most incredible experience! When your child is desperate to get back to nursery after a break, you know that they are comfortable with their surroundings. The dedication of the staff at this nursery
is beyond all expectations and we would not hesitate to recommend it to other parents. Further, the group of parents and carers is close and the nursery encourages this through regular events. When you join Kew Riverside Montessori, you are joining a second family.

The team are excellent and overall wellbeing engagement and educational experiences are great.
The only reason it is not 5* is the unusual operating times are a limiting factor for us as a family.
Would rate it 4.5 but wasn’t an option.

I cannot recommend Riverside, Kew Montessori highly enough, the staff who work there are so welcoming and make you feel part of the nursery community, they have made my daughter feel so settled and grow in confidence, she is always so happy to go in and is always welcomed with a smiling face at the
door. I relax knowing she is being extremely well looked after when she is there.

Lovely day nursery. The staff really care about the children and the headteacher is great at leading the team. I would recommend this nursery to any parent and visitor. They lead the Montessori approach very well and allow the children to make their own choices and follow their own interests.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.212)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.212) out of 10 for Riverside Nursery Schools, Kew Montessori is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 5 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 4.879 for Riverside Nursery Schools, Kew Montessori is calculated as follows: ( (51 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 58 Ratings = 4.879

  • 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 4.333 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Riverside Nursery Schools, Kew Montessori is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.833

  • 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.

Welcome to Kew Montessori Nursery School!


For over 35 years we have served the families of Kew providing the best quality Montessori nursery education for children from the age of 2 years until they start school.


It is a privilege to welcome each and every child individually at the beginning of each day and it so heart-warming to hear their excited voices fill the classrooms as they find their teachers and friends.


During my time at Kew Montessori, I have been truly fortunate to watch so many of our children grow and flourish. At our school we strive to install within the children the intellectual, emotional and physical needs required to become flexible thinkers, self-motivated learners and citizens of the world.


The teaching team encourages the development of the whole child by providing a comprehensive Montessori education, with an abundance of thoughtfully and carefully prepared activities. This curriculum not only provides these early years foundation skills but also nurtures independent thinking, empathy for others, social ability and confidence.


I believe each child embodies a unique and wonderful spirit and my aspiration is to see these children in our care grown into adults who are independent, responsible and compassionate individuals. We see the early years as a preparation for life and a foundation on which everything that follows is built. ‘Who’ a child is, we feel, is more important than ‘what’ a child achieves in the form of goals during this time.


We would love you to come and visit us. It is only by visiting the nursery and seeing everyone working together that the real atmosphere and “magic” can be experienced.


I look forward to meeting you and your child.
