Riverside Nursery Schools, Twickenham Green Montessori

Our circumstances are slightly unusual in that we are in the process of moving to New Zealand in the next few months. Rather than enrolling our son in school, we chose to keep him at childcare centre. The downside is that he lost all his friends as they left for school. For a short period, his self‑assurance dipped and he was noticeably unhappy. This review is to thank the team. We asked them to focus on our son to help him find his place again and they have been exceptional. One for delivering change, another for being his rock and a third for bringing that sense of enjoyable, consistently welcoming him every day with a huge smile and a hug. Within weeks we noticed big changes, as his self‑assurance returned, but with a new sense of purpose and responsibility as a little leader and he now loves childcare centre again. From a parental perspective, his happiness is our number 1 priority. So thanks for being excellent at what you do. My son attends childcare centre 5 days a week.

I believe strongly that the assistance he needed, his educators provided them adequately and timely and that contributed to his massive improvement within a short time. My son came from a different country so there was this challenge of language barrier and the differences in food, how to cope with other kids from different countries and background but within a couple of months after joining the childcare centre he got along highly well with both educators and his mates.

Targets for development are clearly communicated and adhered to. The room is beautifully set up for discovering with clear spaces for the kids’s different interests and skills. Childcare centre news and ideas are shared well with parents with great opportunities for input. Overall, we are highly cheerful with this fantastic childcare centre. Our daughter has flourished under the care of the incredible and dedicated team.

Putting my kid into someone else’s care for the first time was a daunting thought, but they settled both my kid and me into it so well and I have complete trust in the childcare centre and know my kid has such excellent enjoyable when there.
Not only do they have enjoyable, but the childcare centre helps towards their development and updates skills which are important. Every kid is individual and they recognise this and work on each kid’s own needs and goals. Plus, they go on little outings which not all nurseries do, and have excellent messy playtime (which means kids learn and have enjoyable, plus you don’t have to do this all the time at home and spotless all the mess haha)!
I’m highly cheerful with all team and activities at the childcare centre and most importantly, my kid enjoys it too! I would highly suggest Bright Beginnings to any parent.

The team are welcoming and attentive towards her. I like how the team change the baby room often to keep the kids interested. The kids do a variety of activities each day which is great and time is taken to teach the kids new words and actions. The childcare centre consistently make an effort to take the kids out and take them to a variety of places to learn new things. Overall my daughter seems cheerful with the childcare centre. My daughter is now 18 months old and has attended since she was 13 months old.

It has a lovely family atmosphere and I genuinely sense that they adore and care for my son.
They are consistently busy with lots of activities and get out everyday to see different parks and places. The rooms are well done and the team are highly great. It feels small enough to be secure and welcoming, and big enough to have lots of stimulation for him to learn and grow.
I never worry about how he is there as I know that he is being well looked after. My son has been at Bright Beginnings for over a year now and is highly cheerful there.

The team are remarkable and the setting is fantastic.

We were initially concerned re the lack of outdoor space in the childcare centre itself, but daily trips to the Green and other parks mean our girls spend more time outdoors than at their previous childcare centre which had its own garden. It also allows them to safely explore the area and introduce us to locations/parks/wetlands/etc that we ourselves knew nothing about.

The administrative side of the childcare centre is run highly tightly, but they are also highly sympathetic and flexible to the realities of working parents.

The childcare centre combines enjoyable and discovering in a truly inspiring way and both girls come home excited to tell us about their discoveries that day. They’ve also both developed highly close bonds to various educators/carers.

We’ll be highly sad when its time for the girls to leave and would absolutely suggest the childcare centre to anyone. We have 2 girls attending this childcare centre (one in toddler and one in pre-school) and can’t speak more highly of it.

The cheerful and stable setting has allowed my son to blossom. I have consistently struggled with leaving my kid in the care of others but Bright Beginnings have consistently made me sense comfortable in the knowledge that my son is in the best care. The team seem to have endless energy and enthusiasm and are exceptionally flexible when it comes to taking care of the needs of the individual. They follow the kid’s interest and gently nurture them. My son consistently comes homes with stories of what he has been doing and he genuinely loves the people that take care of him. I sense highly lucky to be part of their community. This childcare centre has been a god-send.

The team are both loving and expert. Each person brings their unique personality and creativity and forms a special relationship with the kids. The manager is flexible and does a excellent job making everything work together and fit in with our family. There is no outside space but they have regular activities outside (and different things inside) plus we sometimes get handmade gifts (that my son would have needed a lot of help with!). Occasionally, we get photos on their ‘tapestry’ system. I can’t imagine a better bunch of people looking after our son!!! We adore Bright Beginnings Day Nurseries Twickenham.

The team are well presented, compassionate, organised and welcoming. The childcare centre is highly secure and in a strategic location so the kids can delight in walks to the parks and riverside. I am consistently provided with daily logs of all the activities done by my son, the amount of food he ate, nap times he had, nappy changes etc. Which I like a lot. Older kids are kept separate, so the babies are secure in the baby room and they also have a quiet room for their naps. The team are excellent!! The childcare centre is spotless and tidy.
