Harrow Day Nursery & Montessori (Previously Acorn Montessori)

My daughter, who is now 7, started off at The Harrow (Acorn) when she was 1, before leaving for school at 5. My son who is 4 is still currently with Acorn. We have been very happy with the care provided to both our children. In particular, 2 of the managers who have managed the nursery impeccably ensuring the children are happy and comfortable. They have also attained the highest level of communication with parents, so as to build a sense of trust and ‘family feeling’ within the nursery. We have felt very comfortable in being able to call or attend the nursery with any doubts and they have in turn made all information available. Both my children have loved going to nursery and settled very well. They have learnt to a high preschool level, due to the attention given by the key workers and teachers. The work done by these 2 managers is highly commendable and I would recommend this nursery to all my friends and family.

My son has been at Acorn Montessori since he was fifteen months old and I’ve been very happy with the nursery. It is difficult to leave your child in the hands of strangers, but Acorn Montessori has become like family to us and I really appreciate the way they have cared for my son. They do a range of activities and my son has always come home smiling and full of knowledge. He has turned into a remarkable young lad and I have no doubt that Acorn Montessori has contributed to this. As an NHS doctor, I have been impressed with the handling of the nursery during the pandemic. Thanks, Acorn Montessori team! My daughter will be the next to arrive and I’m sure you will give her the same level of care and love.

Acorn is a wonderful nursery and the staff are great with the kids. My daughter has progressed so much here and learns a lot from her days at nursery.

Acorn Montessori have been absolutely fantastic with my two boys. Since they started here I have noticed that they are much more articulate in their speech, their knowledge has improved with my 3-year-old learning new words and using the words in context such as ‘mummy I am generous’ when sharing food with his 18-month-old brother. My 18-month-old sings the alphabet from A to Z regularly and is able to use words such as ‘share it’ ‘thank you’, ‘sorry’ all in context and appropriately. They are very happy here. The nursery workers are always happy even at the end of the day. They are genuinely patient and appear to enjoy what they do. As a professional, I have noticed that the manager and all the workers are professional in their approach yet approachable, caring, compassionate, and really kind. They always seem to have and make time for you as a parent and nothing ever seems too much of a bother when it comes to them caring for your child. I highly recommend!

I have two children currently enrolled at Acorn Montessori and am delighted with the time they spend there. Not only do they engage in fun and exciting (and messy!) activities that keep them happy and engaged, they are learning a tremendous amount. They get to play in the large garden with lots of toys when the weather is suitable, which I am sure they love. They come into nursery happily; my toddler walks in confidently to his key person, whilst my baby gets a cuddle from his. The children come out clean and tidy, and fully evident of having been properly looked after. The staff are truly lovely with the children and they have formed secure attachments. I was always wary of nurseries after my experience of several with my oldest child – Acorn Montessori was sadly full at that time. However, since sending my two little ones to Acorn, I can honestly say I think it is a fabulous nursery and I am so glad I can send my younger children here.

Our family is very happy with Acorn Montessori Nursery. The staff is friendly and both my kids learned so much there. It is really a great way to prepare the little ones for school. My children enjoyed the time there, especially the garden play area and doing arts and crafts. Thank you all from Acorn Montessori.

My grandson has been attending Acorn for 1 year now, he started when he was 11 months old. We have seen him blossom, learning new words every day. He is not even 2 yet and tells us what he’s been up to at nursery. He loves it so much, happily saying bye in the mornings and not wanting to go home. Staff are so loving and caring.

Acorn is a wonderful nursery with a brilliant set of staff and key workers. My daughter enrolled at Acorn 3 months ago at the age of 11 months. They are always available to help and answer questions. They go out of their way to ensure that the babies are settled, exploring, and enjoying their days.

My baby started at Harrow Day Nursery & Montessori a few months ago and I could not be happier with how he has settled with thanks to the staff who are kind and welcoming. For me to see my baby excited to see his key worker and other members of staff at the start of the day is lovely and reassuring. The building is spacious and clean and staff have lots of activities going on. After being obviously very nervous about my baby’s start to nursery, my experience at Harrow Day Nursery has been nothing but positive.

Really hard-working and attentive staff, my child is really enjoying their time at the nursery. My child has learnt a lot in the past months and has made a few friends too. Generally very happy with the quality of the service provided.
