Norwich Montessori School

We couldn’t be happier with how our son is settling in to nursery at the Norwich Montessori. The staff are so welcoming and make every child feel at ease, giving such a focused amount of attention to each and every one. The Montessori method suits him perfectly and is helping him develop his thought and skills even more. We can’t speak highly enough about the nursery as a whole and would strongly recommend it to any parent wanting the security of knowing their child is in safe caring hands, with a focus to help them grow and develop in every aspect themselves. There is a real sense of community amongst the staff, children and parents which just adds to the list of positive attributes this nursery provides.

From the moment we walked in, I knew that this was the environment that I wanted my son to be nurtured in. It was so calm and engaging and personal. The school has a beautiful, organised space and welcoming, friendly and responsive teachers. Each child is cared for as an individual and their personality responded to and engaged with. My son has really thrived in his first term at the school. He has made friends and taken part in a wide range of stimulating and enjoyable activities and formed a real bond with the teachers. The outdoor space is just perfect too. I can’t recommend the school highly enough.

A truly inspiring nursery where children are the focus and everyone is valued. It is a warm and nurturing place that creates a lovely environment for children to explore and grow. On top of that, there is a real community feel, even though people travel from quite a wide radius to attend, it creates a community of its own. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Sending my daughter to this nursery was the best decision I’ve ever made for her! She started when she was 2 and a half and she was very nervous to be away from me but she very quickly settled in and loved attending! She is now a confident and happy 4 and a half-year-old! I’ve enjoyed watching her confidence grow in the time she’s been here and her social skills with other children are so good now. This nursery was ideal for her as it’s a smaller and more intimate setting. The members of staff are really amazing and you can tell how much they care about the children. They make sure that the children feel valued as individuals and allow them to work on their interests and take ownership of their own learning. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone!

My son has attended the Norwich Montessori School for the last 18 months. The principal and the other teachers are just amazing. The level of care and attention they give the children is incredible. My son has really come out of his shell and just grown in confidence so much. I love that the activities he has access to are fun and exciting but also educational. I would thoroughly recommend the nursery school.

My child is always happy to go to Montessori. She loves all the teachers and her little friends.
She has been learning a lot in this lovely place. Please give them a chance to meet you and show you this nursery before seeing others in Norwich.

I can’t speak highly enough about Norwich Montessori School. It is the loveliest nursery setting and there is nowhere else I’d want my children to attend. The staff are so nurturing and caring and really take the time to get to know your child. The principal is amazing and goes above and beyond. My son is thriving here and learns and experiences so much. We feel so lucky to have found it and would recommend it to anyone.

Our daughter has attended Norwich Montessori School for the last fifteen months and we are extremely happy with our experience. The staff are friendly, approachable and treat children as individuals. They know our daughter well and have helped her to become a much more confident, resilient and curious little girl. Respect for children is at the heart of this nursery. The nursery is flexible and we were able to gradually build up hours that suited us and our child’s needs. There is a good mix of indoor and outdoor play and the children learn lots about caring for the planet. The activities are carefully chosen and made from beautiful materials. The nursery space is always clean, tidy and well-organised and children take equal responsibility in looking after their environment. Our daughter is always excited about going into nursery and loves the extracurricular activities at lunchtime too. We feel really lucky that she has attended Norwich Montessori School and know she will be well-prepared for primary school.

The Norwich Montessori School is an amazing school. All children are treated as individuals with care and attention given throughout the day. All of the teachers are calm and this has a wonderful effect and the children develop and blossom as a result. My daughter is extremely happy here.

This nursery is not SEND-friendly.
This nursery broke my son’s spirit instead of building him up.
Had the unfortunate experience of sending my son to this nursery. He is autistic and has limited verbal communication. Most of the staff were nice and caring towards him however the manager was particularly derogatory with her comments. My son ended up coming home in meltdowns. I was never granted permission to visit and observe my son at the nursery despite offering to help multiple times.
We did not complete the academic year with this nursery as the amount of discrimination we experienced: hurtful comments, lack of care, exclusion due to disability; to drop off my son later and pick up earlier were far too stressful.
They claimed hours of his funding (and more) yet did not allow him in for the normal duration of a session due to his disability.
In a nutshell: if you believe your child may have special needs, avoid this place. My son still has trauma.
