My 4-year-old son has been attending the nursery for the past 3 months. He had no previous knowledge of English and in only 3 months he already showed lots of interest in the language and school activities football, cooking and crafts.
He sings all day long the songs taught at school and keeps asking
me what they mean. He even said he doesn't want to take a nap at school so he gets to see and participate in what others are doing.
A big thanks to all the staff at Learning World Montessori.

Reply from Nikki, Manager at Learning World Montessori

We've been at Learning World Montessori for exactly a year now and we absolutely love it. Being from Australia, we don't have any family in London so the nursery has been an extended family for our little one. On days that she doesn't go to nursery, she role plays packing her bag and heading to nursery.
She even told me the other day she was sad and when I asked why, she said because she wanted to go to Nursery. The teachers are really invested in the kids and my kid absolutely adores them. At home, she is also starting to tidy up after herself, she's super proud of herself and reminds me to tell Miss about it.
We are so blessed to have Learning World and I highly recommend it.

Reply from Nikki, Manager at Learning World Montessori

Thank you so much for your heartwarming review and for choosing Learning World Montessori as your extended family in London. We're overjoyed to hear how much your little one loves coming to the nursery and considers it a second home. It's incredibly rewarding to know that she role-plays packing her bag and misses us on her days off - it warms our hearts!

Our son started Learning World Montessori in August 2023 as I was due to return to work. The manager and the staff were really accommodating and made me feel at ease with the daily updates.
We really like the environment and the emphasis on learning/growth of each individual child and our son has made
amazing progress since joining. He loves being there, and enjoys the food and extra activities that are provided. We are really happy that our son is a part of Learning World Montessori.
The manager and staff are very professional, caring and positive to all the children and we are grateful for the wonderful job they do. Thank you all, it's lovely to see how much our son has developed there. We highly recommend Learning World Montessori.

Our son started at Learning World Montessori in July 2023, and we have seen him absolutely grow in every way possible since! The staff settled him and made him feel so comfortable, he now runs in every morning and cuddles the teachers as part of his hello to them. The food is homemade and fantastic,
we have seen our son’s appetite towards a variety of food grow.

It's been around 14 months since we enrolled our daughter in Learning World Montessori and it has been such a wonderful experience all this while.
We moved from abroad and enrolled our daughter here when she was 18 months old. Though we were extremely anxious, the teachers and the manager took extremely
good care of our daughter.
The teachers here are absolutely wonderful and caring and my daughter has developed a close bond with all of them.
She has really blossomed into a very confident and cheerful little child who absolutely loves to go to nursery every day. She misses her teachers and friends during the weekends. That is testament to the wonderful environment and care Learning World Montessori offers.
I can't recommend them enough. Our sincere thanks and gratitude for the staff at Learning World Montessori for the care they provide to every child.

My daughter started attending Learning World Montessori in May 2023 shortly after her 1st birthday and since then she has absolutely loved her time there. She loves waking up in the morning happy and ready to go to nursery. She gets to the door and runs straight inside to meet her friends. The manager
has been an amazing manager who keeps us up to date regarding our daughter’s progress and also all the teachers who are doing a phenomenal job. I have always felt really positive about LWM and therefore have always recommended it - both mine and my husband’s friends have started sending their kids there too and will be sending our other daughter there in a few months. Absolutely love the homemade food they cook, the activities they do every day with the kids and the attention and care they give to each individual. My daughter has started talking so much more and helping around the house, it is just amazing. Thank you, LWM!

Reply from Nikki, Manager at Learning World Montessori

Learning World Montessori is the most amazing nursery. My daughter loves going there! The manager makes amazing food made from scratch, and that includes homemade pasta - my daughter loves it! My daughter loves all the teachers and she enjoys many activities and play time that they have during the day.
She started to walk and talk really quickly after joining the nursery as well and is so independent. She learned how to dress and play and sing songs. As a parent I’m calm and happy my daughter loves it so much and I have amazing communication with the nursery. The manager and teacher take so much care to notice all the milestones and those little successes as well I get all reports and it has been a pleasure to be a part of the manager's Learning World Montessori Nursery.

Reply from Nikki Singh, Manager at Learning World Montessori

My son is a speech delay kid and I was really worried to find a good nursery for him where teachers are supportive enough to understand his unsaid needs. Learning World Montessori is one of the best nurseries in Croydon where I can confidently say that you will have full relief of mind after sending
your kid. The manager is so loving and caring for my son that I can’t thank her enough for all the attention and hard work she did with my son.
I saw great improvements in my son since he started going to nursery. I loved the fact that staff will tell you all day activities at pickup time. All the teachers are so nice and always smiling. Extraordinary attention to kids’ needs are given.
Last but not least it’s the best nursery in town and I highly recommend it.

My child joined learning World Montessori just before her 2nd birthday. She instantly loved it. She has made lots of friends and is always excited to go in.
Her speech has come along leaps and bounds since she joined.
The staff are friendly and I have every confidence in their attention and care.
Would
certainly recommend it.

Great nursery for my daughter who started at age 14 months. The manager and her team have done a wonderful job in creating a fun and educational hub for my child using Montessori principles. The food they provide is also high quality and my child is always well fed and loves the food! My daughter is
very happy at the nursery and I would highly recommend to all parents looking for a nursery that will offer them peace of mind.

Absolutely pleased and feel so positive about my daughter being part of Learning World Montessori family, she has progressed well due to spending quality time with your professional staff since she joined and now I can see a lot of positive changes in her for example: -
1. She started picking up words
and sentences.
2. Started counting numbers and the alphabet.
3. She does activities on her own like wiping her nose and keeping things back in their place.
4. She eats using cutlery on her own.
5. She's fond of books and recognises animals/food/transport/nature/cartoon characters pictures very well.
6. She always helps me put her clothes in the washing machine.
7. I have noticed how much faster my daughter is developing her skills, she's becoming less shy and much more confident.


I do not have enough words to say but the best in every way. Thank you so much to the staff members and the Manager for taking care of my daughter so well.


Reply from Nikki, Manager at Learning World Montessori

Thank you so much for your lovely review and kind feedback. Our staff in the nursery work with the aim that children should be able to learn to do things independently, are progressing well on their learning journey and are ready for infant school when they move out of the nursery. Sincerely pleased that all the traits are being reflected in the child. Sincere gratitude for your time in writing the review.

Niki has been absolutely amazing. We were sending my daughter to a different nursery and she was really struggling there because of their poor management. I heard of the Manager and we went to visit Learning World Montessori. She was very kind to accommodate our daughter immediately because she understood
that we were really worried.
Right from the first day, Niki has been phenomenal. She has been so caring while ensuring that the child remains disciplined. I never thought that my daughter could have such a smooth transition but within a week, she was so happy.
She never wanted to have any food except the food provided from home, but we have been taken by surprise. She has always eaten the food prepared in the nursery.
There are numerous activities that are planned for them every day. She looks forward to these activities and I look forward to her takeaways that she brings.
We receive a daily update of her day which is very helpful
I can vouch for her as she creates a home away from home

Overall excellent nursery, especially when compared with others. The staff are professional, friendly and supportive and more emphasis on cleanliness. The staff and owner all are fantastic and go above and beyond to make the children feel special and comfortable. The activities the nursery provides
are brilliant, including infant yoga, art n craft work from raw materials. We love seeing the wonderful update of fun things she doing in her nursery. Our daughter has settled well and is very happy.
Thank you to Learning World Montessori.

The manager and her team helped my lockdown baby settle in seamlessly! He walked in with limited speech and with their support he is now a super confident and chatty 2year old! We couldn't be happier with the facilities and opportunities available to the little ones and cannot fault the communication
with parents. I would not hesitate to recommend to other families.

I see a lot of improvement in my son after going to this nursery. He behaves well and helps in housekeeping. He enjoys going to this nursery and especially the company of the Manager
I am observing that my son eats proper meals at home regularly. Before he used to eat snacks only.

My child was excited to go to the nursery every single day. Great care and learning for kids. Transparency was maintained and we used to get detailed feedback from the team on my child's activities. Also, hygiene was given a top priority and the food served was liked by my child. Also, the team helped
to teach my child to eat food by herself which was very useful when she started school. Overall Excellent Experience. Well done team!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.923)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.923) out of 10 for Learning World 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.923 for Learning World Montessori is calculated as follows: ( (132 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.923

  • 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 Learning World Montessori is based on 12 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 25 number of registered child places is 5, which has been reached with 12 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.
