Day Nurseries Owned by Virginia Roden

was fully settled. Within a month, Esme happily goes to every staff member with a smile each morning and leaves with an even bigger smile. I would especially like to thank Esme's key worker Miss Karen, who got to know Esme exceptionally fast, she is so experienced and brightens up the room with her energy, it is no wonder why Esme loves her. A highlight of my day is getting verbal feedback from Miss Humera, who again, got to know Esme so quickly and really helped with the journey of helping Esme sleep in a new environment. Miss Humera has a beautiful relationship with Esme and I could ask for better care. Miss Amy and Miss Annalise are also fabulous and welcoming - Thank you all! Emma x

manners or emotional regulation...I cannot thank them enough! He's made many friends there and has started enjoying new foods. Also...my child would always come home absolutely knackered, their days were always full of fun things to do and learn:)

different skills and do activities around a certain topic. They encourage creativity and have hugely boosted our child's confidence. I can't recommend them enough

in making her feel valued, safe, and loved. We see the impact of that every day at home.
So much thought goes into creating rich and varied experiences for the children, whether it's a trip to the local shop and a short bus ride around the village (which our daughter is always excited to tell us about!) or a walk across the common to pick blackberries, which they later used to bake a crumble.
We don't have experience with other nurseries, but we couldn't be happier with the care and experiences our daughter receives here. It's a truly special place.

and my little guy loves it. He typically eats all his meals including tuna, spinach and plenty of vegetables. Generally speaking he seems happy, adjusted and well looked after in their care.

foundation of self confidence. This was beyond matched and then at every point we (mum and dad) have been made to feel so welcome. Our child has made beautiful friends, some of which will now go together to their "big school". We are forever grateful for the solid nurturing community of the nursery. A beautiful foundation set for the next step.
I'd like to add that sometimes the nursery apologises for the more rustic look (scouts hut), but to me this was one of the biggest appeals. Bright coloured toys don't nurture morals, principles and inner joy- people do. And the people who run Cookham Montessori have been the best community for the 2+ years we have been with them. Thank you so much

Have really enjoyed some of the extra activities this term including sports day and the day trip to the Reservoir.

I'm always excited to receive the pictures and emails they send weekly.

a great deal about the children and spend a lot of time working with them to develop their interests and skills. It is a very special place and I would recommend it unreservedly.

are all incredible, most of them have been there for years and years and care very deeply about the children. They do such a range of activities as well as a gentle introduction to phonics etc. It is all well-planned and purposeful which differs greatly from our experience elsewhere. Our son has developed so much thanks to this nursery. It seems very rare to find a high-quality preschool that does 8 AM - 6 PM all year round but this is it!

the nursery organise regular trips so that parents and guardians can meet and share some experiences together.

plenty of outdoor time. A super nursery with very high standards of care.

The staff are absolutely incredible and we have been so pleased with all of our years at Montessori.
Thank you all so much for all of your support and efforts with my daughter. The love has been absolutely incredible and we have been beyond happy. I will be recommending Cookham Montessori to everybody!
