September 6, 2024 at 10:43 pmWhat sets this childcare centre apart is the quality of the team. They are sensitive, intelligent and well-qualified and consistently fully engaged with the kids. They must be well supported by their managers because they seem a very cheerful team. Our kids were offered a remarkable range of activities including specialist educators visiting weekly (sport, yoga, dance/drama), frequent interesting outings (locally and further afield), hatching out chicks and butterflies, putting on a lovely show for the parents twice a year and lots more. The team know individual kids very well and are able to follow their interests and provide ideal discovering materials. All ours were far ahead of age-expectations on finishing at Mars. Importantly, the kids are taught to be considerate towards each other. We appreciated the secure webpage updates with pictures of what our kid had been doing each week. All three of our kids attended Mars and each had a really fantastic journey there.

September 26, 2024 at 7:29 pmThey not only did exciting activities and have enjoyable, but they also learn letters, numbers and prepare for School. The educators are exceptional in their care, assistance and teaching skills and for me that make all the difference. I had both my kids going to Mars Montessori and both of them were cheerful to go there every day.

October 24, 2024 at 7:15 pmIt has been a second family for him. The team are incredible and the head office are consistently very available and understandable. I highly suggest Mars. It is extremely great for the development of the kids’ independence and personality. They had a lot of initiatives and events. We were sad to leave when my son started reception. My son loved Mars Montessori.

November 6, 2024 at 7:26 amFor us, it was sad to see her leave a place where they have built such a nice setting for them to learn, playtime and build friendships. Kudos to all the educators that worked there, they must have had a patient of a saint to teach my little one. It was consistently a joy to come back home to hear my daughter singing French, Chinese and English songs or her telling me what they’ve learnt. And lastly, not forgetting the Chef, how they managed to get them to try all these incredible food they have on the menu that they produce, is beyond me. There are so many positive things to say about Mars, I am so glad we made this excellent choice for our daughter to start her life in discovering.

December 4, 2024 at 9:35 amThe educators are very attentive but also enforce a certain discipline and values to guide kids. Our kid has made a lot of friends and has formed a strong bond with the carers. We are really grateful and want to thank everyone at Mars. Our son has spent nearly 2 years at Mars and he has enjoyed every moment.

December 15, 2024 at 7:24 pmOur son spent the past 2 years at Mars and we have watched him blossom into a confident and well rounded little person ready for big school. The philosophy and discovering ethos is excellent, exposing kids to different languages, cultures and activities while encouraging them to develop at their own pace and through their own interests. All team are very attentive, skilled and welcoming (from educators to cook, cleaners and manager). They have been very supportive in identifying problems and collaborative and supportive in addressing them, working with us as one team. Special thanks to the manager and her team. While the facilities are perhaps a bit smaller than in other nurseries, kids that age do not need much space. The space is used extremely well with lots of excellent activities and great outside space (when kids are not exploring nearby open spaces/parks). The 3-course menu is very well thought out and changes often. Highly recommended. I can only praise this small and fantastic childcare centre.

December 23, 2024 at 8:42 amMy son was then accepted to a prestigious pre-prep, while my daughter still very much enjoys meeting her friends there. I would definitely suggest. My kids grew up as confident bilingual French/English individuals and Mars offered a valuable journey.

December 28, 2024 at 7:48 amIt has been a delightful journey for the whole family, with empowered working parents thanks to long care hours and the knowledge that our kids were looked after in the best possible way.
The team helped us with a variety of little hurdles along the toddler way, from potty training to getting them more confident in English (and French). I should also add that the food is healthy, balanced and varied.
The cherry on the top for us is that both kids could go to the same school and meet up when one of them got a little homesick.
Thank you to all the team, both our kids miss you dearly. Both of our kids went to Mars Montessori and were very cheerful with the care they got, and really sorry to have to leave (we moved houses).

January 8, 2025 at 8:02 pmOur daughter grew up significantly during her one year at the childcare centre, in terms of maturity, ability to interact with other kids, language skills and practical skills. Our second kid is already registered, and we are looking forward to have him join the Mars Montessori family. Excellent childcare centre, with a highly qualified and welcoming team.

February 8, 2025 at 11:28 amIt was a home away from home for him and he thrived there. The best thing about Mars is the team, they are patient, compassionate, approachable and well‑informed. Kids are encouraged to be independent and interested in the world around them, with lots of excursions and discovering about different cultures / languages etc. The childcare centre is quite small which we found really comforting for our son especially when he was starting. We honestly can’t say enough great things about the childcare centre and team there. Thank you Mars! Our son loved his time at Mars Montessori Bilingual Childcare centre and we were thrilled at the care he received.

March 10, 2025 at 2:09 amWe are very cheerful and grateful to the Mars team for the level of care and assistance given to our daughter over the past 2 years.
She developed amazingly well in this Multi-language/Montessori setting and acquired a broad set of skills.
Thanks so much to the whole team.

April 30, 2025 at 1:18 amThe educators are super welcoming and dedicated to kids, and although the first week was difficult and a big change compared to home, thanks to them and the great atmosphere in Mars, our son was quickly looking forward to go to school everyday. He has made plenty of friends and keeps talking about his new experiences there. The numerous weekly “observations” with pictures and commentaries sent from the team are also excellent and show the commitment of educators to each kid.
I think it is the best way for our little boy to discover and adore School. He will attend another year there, and his little brother will definitely go to Mars as well in due time. My son is now just three, he has been with Mars for one year now and we all ADORE this school.

May 16, 2025 at 3:04 pmThe team have consistently been so inviting and attentive and they were very supportive in the delicate transition phase of settling in. Our daughter loves going to childcare centre and she is very close to all the educators and team. We sense it is a small, inviting family and we know our daughter is in great hands.
I adore the fact that they consistently have initiatives and ideas on things to do, day outs, shows. The food is also very great and the menu is very varied and introduces them to international food.
Being a bilingual childcare centre was really one of the most important things when I chose Mars Montessori and my daughter now speaks and perfectly understands three languages (French, English and her mother’s language).
Overall I am very grateful and cheerful about my choice as I sense it will be a excellent asset for her future education. I am really cheerful about the choice I made for my daughter by choosing Mars Montessori for her early years education.

May 17, 2025 at 4:09 amThe team were extremely attentive and patient; and we were particularly impressed how much they tailored their care to each individual kid’s needs. And the meals prepared were fresh, original and really helped to extend our daughter’s eating. Our girl adored Mars Montessori: she began when she was a very shy 2 year old; and left as a much more confident and mature 3 year old.
