My now 4 year old has been attending this nursery since before he was 3 and I cannot recommend them enough. The staff are very well trained, attentive and caring. My son has formed such lovely bonds with them, and they have helped us, as parents, a lot. From toilet training to learning letters, table
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:)

A wonderful setting with great resources and experienced staff.
If you want a place for your child to learn through exploration, have the freedom to be themselves and grow in confidence, then I would highly recommend Chiltern Hills.

We spent time researching multiple nurseries in the area. We were looking for long term carers with minimal turnover and maximum loyalty, a maternal team, a forest school, outdoor facilities, trips, a wholesome home from home care, with the subtle guidance of hitting the EY curriculum and building a
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

What a fantastic nursery! The staff are fantastic and build such lovely relationships with the children. They are so kind and caring, and my daughter was flying in super happy within a few days of starting.
Great facilities and lots of effort goes into creating learning opportunities for the kids.
Have really enjoyed some of the extra activities this term including sports day and the day trip to the Reservoir.

The nursery is outstanding. My daughter loves going and has made such great improvement in her development, her language skills, and has enjoyed all the outdoor activities. The nursery staff are informative and helpful, and keeps me aware of the different things my daughter is doing at the nursery.
I'm always excited to receive the pictures and emails they send weekly.
Reply from Virginia Roden, Owner at Chiltern Hills Montessori NurseryThank you for your review. We are delighted to know that our partnership with parents is working for you as we know that children thrive best when put at the heart of decision making by the adults around them.

Our son spent his pre-school year at Chiltern Hills and it has been brilliant for him. He has grown in confidence and has developed so much socially and academically, and is now ready to start school. The staff is what sets this nursery apart. Most have been there for many years, and all of them care
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.
Reply from Virginia Roden, Owner at Chiltern Hills Montessori NurseryThank you for your review. Our staff certainly are the secret to our success. Their knowledge, professionalism and tireless work ethic ensure that the happiness and learning of each unique child is maximised.

This is an amazing nursery that has been perfect for our son. We were looking to move him from a different nursery for his preschool year so visited lots and almost gave up then we came across Chiltern Hills and knew instantly it was the one. It is a 15-minute drive from home and so worth it. The staff
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!
Reply from Virginia Roden, Owner at Chiltern Hills Montessori NurseryThank you very much for your kind words. Partnership with parents is such an important aspect of supporting children and we appreciate the close working together to develop a unique, personalised curriculum pathway for each child that helps them reach their potential. Our 2024 Outstanding Ofsted report verifies this.

With lots of outings to the park, seeing goats to exploring outdoors, there have been lots of great memories made.

I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone. The entire team's passion and dedication to early years development shines through in all they do. The teaching staff are very professional with a relaxed, caring, and friendly approach. The weekly topics and daily activities are very thoughtful with
plenty of outdoor time. A super nursery with very high standards of care.

My daughter has thrived in this Montessori nursery. She has become super independent in many tasks. Her speech is just way above the expectancy for a child her age and is generally very happy.
Staff are responsible, caring, and attuned to a child's needs.

Myself and both my daughters, the oldest (now 8) and the youngest (4) have attended the Montessori. My youngest is now leaving Montessori after 2.5 years, which is bittersweet as she is very excited to now be going to a big school but both us and her have enjoyed her time so much at Cookham Montessori.
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!

After moving my child from another local one, I have noticed such an improvement in his energy levels, enjoyment, and learning too. After the first week, my child was jumping for joy and couldn't wait to tell me all the things he had done. Bringing home all his creative pieces for me to see. The nursery
staff treat the children as their own, with so much love and genuine care.
Lots of fun activities and parent involvement too. I've told all my Mum friends about this nursery, and they're all looking to give it a try. It's great!
