  • Blue Nest Montessori School, Harrow, Harrow
Bluenest Montessori philosophy is based on a profound respect for each child as a unique human being. The Bluenest Montessori approach assumes that children are born intelligent, curious, creative and are ripe to develop a sense of wonder and imagination.

The goal is not to control, but to inspire children to learn voluntarily. In its essence, Montessori is designed to teach children to think deeply, to think for themselves and to think about others. The nursery believes that while learning the right answers will get a child past exams and eventually through school, learning how to think for oneself (in effect, learning how to learn) will get a child through both school and life.

With special thanks to the nursery's dearest, talented and enthusiastic qualified Montessori teachers, children enjoy what they do. For them, teaching is both a profession and a vocation. The children under their care love them. With words and examples, they motivate the children to develop their potential, awaken their interests, arouse their curiosity and make learning a wonderful experience. Their energy, enthusiasm, patience and cheerfulness are contagious.

Staff cultivate an atmosphere of joy, wonder and appreciation for life, and you are invited to join Montessori school as it offers the opportunity for a vibrant and fresh vision of education for your child.

Blue Nest Montessori School is an excellent place for my daughter. The staff is truly amazing-caring, professional, and always dedicated to providing the best for the children. From the very first day my daughter started, I have seen a remarkable transformation in her. Thanks to the teachers' right
guidance, encouragement, and support, she has grown so much in confidence and learning.
The nursery management is also doing a fantastic job. They are incredibly friendly, flexible, and always willing to accommodate parents' needs. Their communication is excellent, keeping us updated on every detail, ensuring we are always informed and reassured.
I couldn't have asked for a better environment for my child. I highly recommend Blue Nest Montessori School to any parent looking for a nurturing, supportive, and well-managed place for their little one.

This nursery is the best nursery I came across, the standards, cleanliness, level of training to staff and attentiveness. I confidently sent my child in daily and my child enjoyed every day of being there. This nursery will support your child in any means necessary and will have open communication with
you about growth and support needs. I highly recommend this nursery, I'm so glad I found them two years ago!

I must say, by far the best Montessori school. I had my son here for 2 years, it’s like a home form home. He is joining reception now and he was 2.5 years old when he joined Blue Nest. All the staff are so caring and loving, he loved it. I would 100 percent recommend this school and the learning is
very good. The manager is very good. All staff are top class, can’t fault it.

We are pleased with the level of care our child is experiencing at Blue Nest Montessori School - Harrow. Our child is always happy and enjoying his time at the nursery. They have plenty of learning opportunities through play. Extremely happy atmosphere for the kids. The attention to detail is excellent
and the staff certainly go that 'extra mile' to ensure that the needs of the children are met. The administration team is wonderful and efficient and always makes one feel valued as a parent. Blue Nest is outstanding and incomparable to any other nursery that we have come across!

Choosing Blue Nest has been one of our best decisions for our son. We were apprehensive about leaving him in anyone's care to be honest but the staff really made that transition very easy for us. It felt like we were leaving him with family. Our son settled in very quickly and soon didn't want to come
home! It also encouraging to see facilities constantly evolving. I can't fault the place and am very grateful to have such a wonderful group looking after my child.

After looking for many months, I found a perfect nursery for my son. The staff and the management are very friendly and helpful. They look after my son very well.
When my son first started nursery he was very upset and always wanted us to join him. But after a few weeks, he was very happy, and confident
and became very independent. He also loves the food in the nursery and eats well at the nursery. I’m so glad I chose Blue Nest Montessori, keep up the good work.

All the staff are very professional, caring and loving. Both my girls (2.5 and 1.5 years old) go to the Nest Montessori happily every day. Seeing their happy and energetic face in the evening shows the fun they're having at the Nest Montessori. I am a very much pleased mum. Thank you, and a salute to

My second child attends the nursery, and we are very happy. She is not always happy to go, but the staff are really trying to make it easier for us. She likes the movers and shakers the most, which is happening once a week. Food is great, and she always asks for more.

Blue Nest Montessori School is the best nursery I could find for my daughter.
They help her a lot to settle, and if in the first days she was crying when I was dropping her there, now she is so happy and can not wait to go.
They do have a lot of activities, and I can see a lot of improvements in
my daughter.
They also support parents and try to accommodate any additional requirements for working parents, which I appreciate!
I can not thank them enough for everything they are doing there!

Staff are incredibly friendly and foster a family environment. The Montessori is really well equipped too. There are plenty of fun events organised for the kids. The main thing for me as well was that my son seemed very happy so more than happy to recommend.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.557)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.557) out of 10 for Blue Nest Montessori School, Harrow 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 4 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 Blue Nest Montessori School, Harrow is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 48 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 3.557 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blue Nest Montessori School, Harrow is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 110 number of registered child places is 22. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 22 = 0.182

  • 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.
