Riverside Nursery Schools, St Margarets Montessori

Incredible childcare centre with incredible team. You can see and sense the adore from everyone that works here.
They are truly engaging with our daughter and care for her like one of their own, it’s so reassuring to know she’s secure and cheerful.
I honestly can’t praise or suggest this childcare centre highly enough. My daughter attends with the biggest smile on her face everyday!

The childcare centre offers an impressive array of discovering facilities, tools, and subject areas to expand the little one’s mind to new, exciting things. I sense that being at Riverside has truly bought out my son’s inquisitive side and often comes home curious about the things he has learned that day, such as how volcanoes work (at the age of three and a half!). What I also adore about the childcare centre is the incredible garden and the encouragement of engaging with nature at a young age. A magical childcare centre, one that I would highly suggest to any family. Absolutely fantastic childcare centre, with equally fantastic headteacher and key workers, who are highly attentive, nurturing, and genuinely interested in my son’s development.

Our daughter has attended the childcare centre since she was 2 and has had a exceptional journey – from the nurturing, compassionate team and the lovely, large garden to the wide array of activities (forest school, yoga, science experiments, sewing…) – I can’t think of a better place for her to have spent her pre-school years.
The team are smart and thoughtful – everything about the childcare centre is designed and implemented for a kid-centred reason.
I’m highly grateful that my daughter has been able to attend this childcare centre. I have only positive things to say about it and would absolutely suggest it. Riverside Childcare centre Schools, St Margaret’s Montessori is a highly special place.

Margarets and Twickenham area when we moved into the area last summer but consistently felt that something was missing. A lot of the nurseries were highly rigid on their settling in (or should I say lack of) approach which put us off given our daughter was born just before the pandemic and is quite shy and anxious by nature. Many had a high team turnover or seemed to be run by team who lacked enthusiasm. A few lacked or had no outside space. When we visited St. Margaret’s Montessori we were bowled over by the energy of the people who work there, the fantastic setting including the incredible garden, and of course the Montessori principles which we knew would suit our curious and inquisitive daughter. What we didn’t realise at the time was just how nurturing, attentive, patient and flexible they would be. I sense so cheerful that she is in such excellent hands. We looked at most of the nurseries in the St.

The educators and team are truly incredible, compassionate, and highly supportive. Honestly, I was a bit worried in the beginning as my son is not a native speaker, but the educators gave me self‑assurance and showed me their patience. During these months in the childcare centre, I can see my son has grown and learned so much, he becomes more confident and more independent. Our family is exceptionally grateful for that. Our family moved to this area this year, and sense so lucky to put my son in Riverside Montessori.

The educators are attentive, dedicated and inspiring, the building is highly homely and light, and the garden is huge and idyllic. Our daughter has experienced and enjoyed all seasons in it, from water playtime in the summer, to discovering a hedgehog waking up from his winter’s hibernation, and den building in autumn. As a European parent, I felt that the school was highly encouraging and inclusive when it comes to different cultures, languages and nationalities. Our daughter would go to the school Monday-Friday, from 9am to 3pm and has consistently looked forward to it. We have consistently received accurate information on her developments and assistance if needed. The whole school ethos is kids-centered and everyone strives to grow the natural talents and interests of every individual kid. Every parent I speak to feels the same about this school and would suggest it thoroughly! This childcare centre is incredible!

It truly has everything we could ask for. It’s a small childcare centre and the facilities are excellent – each classroom is thoughtfully designed with Montessori principles in mind, the garden is lovely and huge and truly fosters a adore for outdoors, plus they run football sessions and Forest School every week.

The atmosphere at the childcare centre is incredibly nurturing and calming and they truly live and breathe the Montessori values, which is fostering self‑assurance and a adore of independent discovering in our kid.

Finally, the educators are all absolutely remarkable. I know my daughter has built strong bonds with each of them and is able to trust and connect with them. I sense totally confident that they know each kid and treat them as individuals in a positive, respectful, and supportive way. They truly do a excellent job of getting them ready to join the wider world as responsible, attentive and resilient little people. We’re so glad we found this childcare centre for our daughter.
