This nursery is world-class. We, along with our baby daughter who is now a toddler, have had a wonderful experience with this nursery, in particular, the key person who looks after our little one. The nursery really invests in the development of children genuinely and its outstanding Ofsted rating does
live up to the expectations. What’s more, they are innovative in that they follow their own curriculum in addition to the standard one and most nurseries don’t do this. I thoroughly recommend any parent to send their child here.

My son really enjoys going to nursery. When he first joined, he was a little unsettled as he had left a different setting. His key worker went over and beyond to make him feel settled. He would contact us daily to let us know how he was getting on and send pictures to show us what he was doing. Now
he can’t wait to go to nursery. His key worker has taken time to get to know him and he thoroughly enjoys spending time with both him and his new friends.
The children engage in a range of activities - cooking, mark making, re-enacting stories, science experiments and they promote independence as early as possible - washing their dishes and tidying up after themselves.
They supported me to potty train my child and offered me lots and guidance and tips.
They are always very helpful when I have a question/query and provide a safe and nurturing environment for my child to thrive in. I am really pleased with the setting, my second son will be joining in September.

This nursery is truly world-class in what they do, and how they do it and this applies to interacting with parents as well as their genuine interests are nothing but doing everything possible and beyond for the best development of your child. An example - the parent's evening not only was detailed and
informative in person but was provided in detail in written format along with home learning points for us to practise outside the nursery, which is particularly useful when our child only goes one day a week. We requested additional days for our daughter and they had no trouble arranging this. I am so, so grateful for finding this nursery. The ladies looking after my little one along with the administrator who is very accommodating.

My husband and I cannot speak highly enough of Montessori Minds Nursery. Both of our children joined the nursery when they were nine months old and the whole staff team has been incredible. The nursery really is a fabulous place and has done wonders and still doing wonders for the development of both
of our children. The staff are lovely and always welcoming. I would thoroughly recommend this to all the parents of going children.

We have had the best experience at Montessori Minds. Our child is happy going to class every day, she has settled well. The activities stimulate the children and develop them further. We have seen such a difference in the first six months of our child's developing there, we cannot recommend this place
enough.

We couldn’t be happier with this nursery!
This is our second child to attend there. Staff really are amazing so caring and fun. Great educational experiences which are Montessori-led. Both our kids have thrived there, and you can tell just how happy they are there. They give very detailed reviews
on your child’s development which shows just how well they know your child. Nutrition is well thought out for the children and allergies are very carefully catered for. It’s a shame we can only give 5 stars as I would rate them so much higher than that.

Really great nursery where they take such good care of our child. He is so fulfilled and entertained with all the activities and games which are played that he gets bored when at home. The app is a great place to check on our child and is kept very well updated during the day with a lot of communication
if required via the app. Brilliant nursery and have seen a lot of development in my son since he has been attending the nursery with talking eating sleeping etc. would definitely recommend sending your child to this nursery.

Fantastic nursery with excellent staff! My son absolutely loves all the key people in his room. He has been at Montessori Minds for four months and has already learnt so much. The key people in his room provide weekly updates with photos of what activities the kids did during the week - which is an
added bonus. His progress reports have been detailed and promptly provided. Highly recommend this nursery.

We could not be happier with Montessori Minds. Right from the settling in period the staff did everything they could to make us feel comfortable and confident about leaving our baby in their care. All of the staff are really friendly and our baby is really happy to go with them every time. They keep
us updated throughout the day using the app, and our child always looks happy in the photos. They are always planning fun and educational activities for the children, including messy play, gardening and baking.

All the nursery staff are fabulous and really care about the children. My child has been attending Montessori Minds in Romford for three years and is extremely happy there and enjoys the variety of creative and educational activities they do. I also really like the nursery’s diversity in that they have
both male and female teachers, it adds a lovely dynamic to the classroom.

I could not be happier with my son’s nursery. His teachers are kind, enthusiastic and responsive to his needs. They know him really well and tailor his learning to make sure he isn’t bored or disengaged, but is constantly being pushed at a pace he is comfortable with. He loves learning and this has
truly been fostered at the nursery with the teachers being guided by his own areas of interest and also gently guiding him to expand his understanding of the world. His social and emotional skills have also been supported and fostered and it shows.
There is a warmth and joy emanating from all the staff at the nursery and this means he goes in and comes home with a big smile every day.
We get regular and meaningful communication about him from his key worker, detailed termly reports of his progression and the manager communicates regularly with parents about any important information or changes.

I can't put into words how happy I am as a parent to have found this wonderful place Montessori Minds, where my boy feels really good and very happy to come every day. He is well looked after in school, learns a lot of things and is progressing every day. The trained and experienced staff are ready
to learn and respond to my child's individual needs, there are safe and clean premises welcoming and friendly with outside play space. Communication between parents and nursery is regular, immediate, effective and professional, we can share ideas and photos during the day through the nursery app.
Activities are varied and have really promoted my son's speech and understanding. Fresh food every day.
I am very pleased and I can only say thanks to the manager and staff.

My daughter has been attending Montessori Minds for almost 3 years. The nursery has consistently provided stimulating and challenging learning activities. These are regularly communicated with us. We have seen significant progress in her phonics and numeracy skills and we are impressed with the level
of tier 2 vocabulary that she uses in conversation. The nursery fully supports personal development; teaching about kindness, feelings, and diversity through celebrating different cultures and religious festivals. They have very high expectations of behaviour. The nursery organises trips and external providers are also regularly on site. The leadership of the nursery have clear policies and procedures which are communicated with parents and consistently implemented. Our daughter always leaves nursery happy, clean and full of stories. The food provided is varied and of excellent quality. We cannot fault the relentless drive for excellence by the management and staff of the nursery.

My son is really happy at this nursery and is happy when I drop him off and collect him. He has developed a lot in such a short space of time and I am very pleased with his progress. I am happy with the staff at this establishment, they always have time to talk with you about the child’s day and it
never feels like they are rushing you. They also provide support in areas that they feel your child needs a bit more support in. I would recommend this nursery to other parents.

Our daughter has been attending Montessori Minds since she was one and now she is three and a half. She looks forward to going every single day. It's the most loving, caring, kind, encouraging environment any parent could wish for, OUr daughter's development has come on in leaps and bounds and that's
all down to the brilliant staff and wonderful environment that's been created. There aren't enough superlatives to do it justice. Montessori Minds is simply the best!

As first time parents, my wife and I couldn’t be happier with the experience we have had with the Montessori Minds family. Our child has become so attached to all of the staff at the nursery and they have been very accommodating to our personal circumstances. All the staff are friendly, helpful and
make us feel comfortable enough to ensure our child’s safety and well-being is upkept. They have also been beneficial in the development of our son as he is growing older. He comes home from nursery having learnt new things every time such as nursery rhymes, counting numbers, saying first words etc. We also like the fact that the nursery is very multicultural as our son can learn about other cultures, languages and food etc. We would recommend Montessori Minds to our friends and family and we are hoping to send our newborn daughter to this same nursery soon!

The food is healthy and she enjoys everything fresh fruit, vegetables and salad very important to our

My wife and I looked at 20+ nurseries around the Romford, Hornchurch and Gidea Park area and Montessori Minds was the only nursery that ticked all our boxes.
Everyone at the nursery is professional and more importantly caring, everyone from management to staff.
I feel comfortable leaving my son at
the nursery and my son looks forward going each day.

Montessori Minds is a 5 star nursery all round. I put my son into nursery at 15 months, I was very worried he would not settle as I started him off at another one but when I changed and brought him here, within 2 days he was settled in, he always went in happily and always had a smile on his face! His
care was outstanding and he was always happy with not just his key worker, but with all the staff. The nursery has a great home from home feel, the nursery is exceptionally structured and my son always has home activities and a record of what he has done for the day, it's so nice to be a part of the learning. I got to see his journal where his educational progress is documented too. Something very important to me is hygiene and I cannot fault Montessori Minds one bit! From my inspection up until today, there is always someone cleaning and it is always spotless! The standards of this nursery should be across all with kind and genuine staff!

Montessori Minds is absolutely the best nursery we know and it's the best nursery for our son. The whole management team is fantastic and caring, professional, and they always do their best for our son to feel at home and welcomed. Coming from a different nursery around the area, it was fairly easy
to compare and realise how outstanding their service his. Being parents for the first time, my wife and I have been receiving the best support, best advice, they always follow up on our concerns and as parents, that's what you want for you son. You want to go to work and be absolutely certain that your child is in the best best place with the best people and that's exactly what we feel. Our son has been developing so much now, he's happy, he loves his teachers and he really feels at home. We couldn't be happier to be a part of the Montessori family and we strongly recommend them, you won't be disappointed.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.978)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.978) out of 10 for Montessori Minds Day Nursery 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.978 for Montessori Minds Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (270 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.978

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Montessori Minds Day Nursery is based on 23 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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
