Modern Montessori International, MMI Preschool, Raynes Park

She didn’t speak English at the time, and now she speaks fluent English. It’s a highly inviting and welcoming setting, and the kids are highly cheerful there. The headteacher is highly flexible and understanding, consistently willing to cater/accommodate for your kid’s needs. They have music lessons, cooking classes, sports and Spanish every week included in the price. Plus the key person does one to one teaching with your kid using Montessori approach and technics. My daughter passed the entrance test for the high school all thanks to the team at MMI; I haven’t done any extra work with her at home. My two younger kids will be going to MMI, and wouldn’t hesitate to suggest it to anyone. My daughter went to MMI from May 2016 till July 2020.

She asked us to take him round, calm him down and bring him back. I thought they’d be trained to do this, we were surprised. Asking if I could go in (we had a settling in period of 1 hour only!) with my son to comfort him for ten minutes. She shouted ‘no you’re not doing that again’ – in front of other parents where it’s all our neighbourhood. I didn’t find her approachable and she was highly unprofessional. She said I need to be stricter otherwise my son will make use of me for the rest of my life. However, the breaking point for me was when she said he hasn’t opened his mouth for the two weeks he’s been in (only 3 hours a day and 3 days a week – he attended this childcare centre only for two weeks. My son never stops talking at home, he’s obviously only shy. She asked me to take him to doctors and that she’s seen much younger kids speaking three languages fluently. Been comparing kids this age. Just shocking. My son, aged 27 months old had a tantrum once and the headteacher didn’t want to calm him down.

He settled in highly easily and has loved going to school since day one. He has made secure relationships with his educators and friends and has greatly developed since he attended the setting. One thing that amazed me was how confident and independent at doing things for himself, he became shortly after he attended the childcare centre. My little boy has now started to recognise letters and numbers and his joy of discovering is visible and naturally nurtured at Modern Montessori school.
The facility is bright, tidy and spotless and the educators do a remarkable job at keeping the school secure and spotless, daily. The outdoor is incredible and cleverly used to further assistance the discovering, and a stellar playtime area too. The management is expert and welcoming and consistently available to listen to and work in partnership with parents.
I highly suggest Modern Montessori pre-school as a remarkable start to your kid’s early years of education. My son has been exceptionally cheerful at Modern Montessori pre-school.

He settled in straight away and consistently looks forward to going in. His language skills have improved immeasurably since starting and he often sings new songs that he has learnt or chats about the things he has done each day. Our son attends for four mornings a week which has worked well for us. We have found the manager and her team to be welcoming, approachable and the information and feedback about our son’s daily activities and development have been both detailed and reassuring. We have had an incredibly positive journey with our two year old son joining MMI Raynes Park.

The new school manager is incredible, and as a parent, I can confidently send my youngest knowing she in secure hands. The school has a inviting, cosy setting and all educators are incredible. You can speak to them at any time about your concerns and they help you to understand the best way to resolve them. My daughter runs straight into the class without hesitation as she feels secure, cheerful and looked after. The school has a variety of activities, provide computer and extra languages as an external activity. My 3 kids are/have been part of the school.

Possibly my best ever parenting choice! The childcare centre manager and other educators/team are so experienced, compassionate and attentive – it’s a truly secure, calm and nurturing setting. My son has absolutely blossomed under their care and developed strong friendships with other kids. He races in every morning with scarcely a look back – there are almost no teary kids at drop-off, which is testament to what a cheerful place it is. They can run around outside and tire themselves out, as well as the discovering activities with the educators in the Montessori style. If I want to speak to the educators about anything they’re flexible and available to speak on the phone or in-person outside. I only wish I had sent him (and indeed my first kid) there earlier. My son has attended the childcare centre since September 2020 so I couldn’t visit beforehand (covid), but plumped for it on the basis of the lovely outside space, stellar reviews from friends and a lovely chat with the wonderfully inviting childcare centre manager over the phone.

Not only it is a Montessori approach led school, the team are highly experienced, trained and don’t change fast as in many other nurseries. The place is spacious, sunny and the garden is simply gorgeous. I’m so cheerful my both kids can delight in this vast open space during the day, especially comparing to other nurseries in the area. The location is highly secure and nice, being in middle of the park. It’s also highly handy to go to the playground with kids afterwards which is two steps away. We also adore the fact that the childcare centre has mixed age, the younger kids are discovering from older ones, the older ones are discovering to be attentive about younger ones and there is no normalization of age development models. The childcare centre is also more affordable then many other ones. It would suit parents with flexible schedule, though as the childcare centre works during school hours, it is closed during all the school holidays. We are feeling blessed to have this childcare centre in our area.

He loves his preschool and he has learnt so many things there. The outdoor area is huge, unique and the indoors is perfect. My son truly likes the different rooms, such as the art room. The team at MMI Raynes Park is highly attentive and I can tell that all the kids are growing and discovering happily there. Thank you! I am so thankful as I have definitely chosen an incredible childcare centre for my son.

She settled quickly and ever since loves it! She is consistently cheerful to go to playtime with her friends, to do enjoyable activities and was missing the childcare centre highly much during the time of the first lockdown in 2020. The childcare centre is located on the grounds of Cottenham Park with an enviably large outdoor space where kids have lots of enjoyable every day. It is excellent that the team of the childcare centre are all full time qualified and experienced educators, not only providing solid ground and resources for everyday discovering and playing but are also highly attentive, kids adore them! Among the activities that our daughter enjoys most are arts, cooking and Spanish. Looking at how cheerful she is in this preschool and how much she is discovering, we can highly suggest it! Our daughter is attending MMI Raynes Park since November 2019.

We truly liked the fact the settling was tailored to the individual kid and thanks to the fantastic team, he was asking to be left on his own by day two! The setting and teaching approach is completely suited to him with various rooms, a plethora of activities and both in house and external, pre Covid-19. They also have a excellent outdoor space. In eighteen months he has learnt a wealth of new skills from pouring, measuring, writing and he is starting to read. We have seen him grow into a highly independent and attentive four year old who is truly well prepared for primary school. The fact he and many of his friends run into the preschool each day is testament to the nurturing setting the manager and her team have created. By far the best decision we have made so far for our son and we will be forever grateful to the incredible preschool team! We moved our son to MMI Raynes Park after two years at a local childcare centre and so were naturally nervous about how well he would settle in a new setting.
