Montessori Minds Day Nursery

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.

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!

This nursery has been absolutely wonderful from start to finish. My son has been there since he was 7-months-old, he is now 3-years-old. His learning and confidence have grown exponentially, and if there’s every any learning I want to focus on, Montessori Minds focus on it. The nursery nurses communicate clearly and regularly, so we know exactly how our son is progressing. It’s always so clean, and our son comes home happy and confident. He never cries at the door and always asks to go on his days off.

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.

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.

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.

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 are so glad that our little baby daughter has joined this nursery. The staff are very kind and helpful and went out of their way to somehow manage to accommodate us a place at short notice when they were full. The lady is absolutely fantastic and is responsible for looking after our baby with personalised care and attention. She always keeps us informed regularly of how our daughter’s day is going and takes good care of her with the necessary skills and experience of handling of babies in predictable and unpredictable scenarios. She is also good at adhering to our requirements and adapting accordingly. The other helpers are good as well and everyone absolutely adores her. We can see our daughter’s development in as little as six weeks since she joined. Overall, very pleased with this nursery and long may this continue!

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.

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.
