Buckingham Montessori School teaches children the independence, confidence and educational foundation to accelerate each child's success into school.

Children immersed in the Montessori method at the nursery grow up to be self-directed learners and citizens, accountable to themselves and their community. Situated in an ideal location on Preston Road in Harrow, a short walking distance to the Preston Road underground station, the nursery operates from 8am - 6pm each weekday.

The nursery includes two classrooms and ample outdoor space with an expansive playground and additional teaching areas in outbuildings behind the main nursery building. Currently accepting new children.

We found this nursery and I am really thankful. The teachers are so kind with the kids and with the parents. My son loves to be there, he is not crying. This nursery is our second nursery. We would stay here, because my son absolutely loves it.

Reply from Nazy Kalhor, Nursery Manager at Buckingham Montessori School - Harrow

Dear parent, Buckingham Montessori's aim is to ensure all children receive a smooth transition whilst in our care. Transition is the change a child encounters moving from one place to another. As the child develops they experience transitions from one learning environment or setting to another.

My daughter loves nursery, she has made friends. She’s learning so much since she started nursery at Buckingham Montessori. She speaks to me mostly in English. Before she would say a few words only, but I could not have a conversation from start to end. She is more attentive to details, she cleans up
after herself and puts the rubbish in the bin, she is washing her hands without help and she does not forget to close the water. She's protective with smaller kids and she has the will to develop in every aspect of her age. The ladies are so good with all the kids, playing and teaching them, while making everything funny and exciting. Even in difficult situations, they have things under control, managing any situation with calm and without raising their voice. I like the fact that I have never picked her up wearing wet clothes or with her hands or mouth dirty and sick kids are not allowed to attend nursery. I strongly recommend this nursery and I am happy I chose it for my daughter. (15 hours funded)

Dear Loredana, we believe that children flourish best when their personal, social and emotional needs are understood, supported and met and where there are clear, fair and developmentally appropriate expectations for their behaviour. As children develop, they learn about boundaries, the difference between right and wrong, and to consider the views and feelings, and needs and rights, of others and the impact that their behaviour has on people, places and objects.

My daughter has been attending Little Tree Montessori for just for a few months now. She absolutely loves it and runs in every day. The nursery has a lovely, warm and inviting staff, which was something really important to us when choosing a nursery as my little one needs more attention than others.
Every
day there is a new activity or experience planned, and she seems to be really thriving from the variety. Our regular catch-ups with her key workers are informing and reassuring. The general communications from the team Little Tree Montessori are also exemplary.
We feel so lucky to have been able to secure a place, and we are so grateful to the team at Little Tree Montessori!

Our daughter started attending the nursery when she was 2 years old and she is now 3.5.


She loves going to nursery and we are very pleased with her development and the nursery.


I can see how my daughter is improving and learning new things. I also like how the way nursery is preparing her for

reception.


The staff are professional and friendly. There are appropriate policies and procedures in place to keep everyone safe and healthy. I recommend this nursery to all parents.

Learning Tree Montessori school, love this nursery, as both my children have attended this nursery school and I am extremely happy and confident with the nursery teachers. They are amazing, very friendly always ready to support, they loved both my children which makes me feel confident to leave my 2-year-old
son with them and go to work peacefully, they are taking such good care of him, and I can see he is learning lots of things, also supporting with potty training programs, dressing and undressing and so many other things that maybe I am not even aware of. I highly recommend Learning Tree Montessori School to local mums who are looking forward to applying for a nursery place for their junior pupils!

In my view an outstanding educational setting that offers traditional Montessori teachings. After viewing many other nurseries this was the only one that stood out to me. I have sent both my children to Learning Tree Montessori and could not be happier with the outcomes and have seen both children progress
well. A hidden gem as I have always said to other parents. The teachers are genuinely caring and consistent in their approach, they have taken the time to really get to know my children to offer the best possible care. My children adore them. They are kind and considerate and communicate well with my children and me as a parent. The behaviours and values the children are taught here are second to none and the ethos and culture of Learning Tree Montessori really offers a strong foundation for the children in terms of learning and education in preparation for school. I cannot recommend them enough.

Current Review Score: 7.7 (7.708)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.7 (7.708) out of 10 for Buckingham Montessori School - Harrow is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 4.583 for Buckingham Montessori School - Harrow is calculated as follows: ( (9 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.583

  • 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 3.125 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Buckingham Montessori School - Harrow is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 40 number of registered child places is 8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.125

  • 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.
