Day Nurseries Owned by Papillon Montessori in London

son in 2013, and after so many years, when it was time for my daughter in 2023, I didn't even consider anywhere else. Coming back to the same nursery after all those years says everything about the trust and confidence I have in Papillon Montessori.

The teachers Ms Faiza, Ms Sheena, and Ms Deepthi are absolutely wonderful. They are so kind, warm, and welcoming, and they create such a nurturing environment. Because of this, both of my children settled in very easily, which made the transition stress-free for us as parents.

Papillon Montessori truly feels like a second home, and I am so grateful for everything they have done for my children.

and the owner, in particular, are kind, patient, and truly passionate about what they do. They really care about each child and always made my kids feel safe, happy, and confident.
They are also amazing at helping and guiding parents, always giving advice and support on how to approach our children's learning at home. That support made such a big difference and made us feel like we were working together as a team for our children's development.
The environment is warm, welcoming, and very well organised, and the Montessori approach really helped my children become more independent and curious about learning.
I am so grateful to the whole team at Papillon

8 high school, is still flourishing in French language and I believe it's because he had such a positive start with the lovely ladies at Papillon. Helen (Bless her soul), Faiza and Sheena. He was always so happy to go to nursery because of the staff here. I was very impressed with how much activities they did there from learning a language to Zumba, yoga, dance classes every week. Christmas was just the cutest thing I had ever seen as well as Sports day at Papillon where we all got to take part. The ladies also reminded me that it was time that Sai started to come out of nappies and with their help,1 week my son was out of nappies. I am extremenly grateful to the loevly ladies.

exceptional. The staff truly go above and beyond to ensure every child feels safe, nurtured, and encouraged to be independent.

My older son had speech delays and needed support from Speech and Language Therapy, and the nursery were amazing throughout. They worked closely with us and supported him consistently, playing a huge role in the progress he made in both speech and confidence. They have also been incredibly supportive with potty training and with the emotional development of both my children.

I love seeing the Montessori learning carry through at home, my children independently tidy up and take pride in what they can do. I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough!

They also have professionals conduct extra activities during the week which saves us having to seek extra circular activities ourselves.

interested, always willing to spend time discussing progress, or any issue arising. Papillon 1 combines structured learning with flexibility, play and fun. My granddaughter was happy there from her first visit. She began school in September, and her experience at Papillon 1 prepared her so well for the transition. Her confidence, socialisation, and ability to cope with school learning structures, has been so positively boosted by her years at the nursery. I cannot speak too highly of Papillon 1. Many thanks to Ms.Faiza, Ms.Deepthi, Ms.Sheena and all staff for all they have done for my granddaughter. Highly recommended.

son, who is under three, loves attending nursery and has made excellent progress in all areas of development. I was very impressed with the Montessori materials and books used, and he has already learned numbers and some phonics with ease. The teachers are highly experienced in the Montessori approach, and my son has formed a wonderful bond with his key person, Miss Ella.
The nursery also offers enriching activities such as gymnastics and dance, along with special events like Sports Day and the Christmas play, which my son thoroughly enjoyed. The large garden provides plenty of outdoor time, the rooms are spacious, and the overall environment is calm and relaxing.

They work with the children rather than just looking after them. Would recommend to anyone.

and emotional needs, creating a nurturing and safe environment.

Academically, all of my children achieved highly during their time there. They grew to be confident, persistent, and well-prepared for their next steps. I am truly grateful for the care and dedication shown by everyone at Papillon Montessori and would highly recommend the school to any family.

talks about school and proudly shares what they've learned.

Safety and overall well-being are clearly top priorities. I've always felt at ease knowing my child is in a calm, secure, and caring space where their emotional and physical needs are met with genuine attention.

One of the things I appreciate most is the communication with parents. The staff consistently keeps us informed, not just about progress, but about day-to-day experiences, goals, and moments of growth. It creates a real sense of partnership and trust.

This Montessori has made a huge positive impact on my child's development, and we're so grateful to be part of this community.

so happy ever since. The heartwarming environment they create is just wonderful and the improvement he's shown is excellent especially in his confidence, language, communication and manners.

Every team member is fantastic and so supportive and genuinely caring and really go out of their way to care for my son. Thank you so much Papillon team for making the nursery experience so joyful and pleasant.

each week include gymnastics lessons and dance sessions both led by external providers.
Drop off and pick up is made easier by large car park outside the nursery.
Things to note- nursery is term time only and packed lunches must be provided.

good attention to every child.

make the environment feel like a family. Lovely school with wonderful teachers. Highly recommend!"

her feel welcome. From the very beginning, they took out the time to understand my daughter and focus on her personality and the areas they felt she needed support in before starting school. The curriculum is very well planned and engages children with a variety of activities including French class, dance, painting, outdoor visits and event days. The school is ideally located few minutes from the station, a walk overlooking beautiful farm and a historical cricket ground which children love to play around. I am grateful to Ms. Faiza, Ms. Deepthi and Ms. Sheena for giving my daughter the best care and support throughout the term.

his confidence, language, communication, problem solving, manners-everything's improved massively. Every team member, especially Ms Faiza, Ms Deepthi, Ms Sheena and the rest of the team is fantastic and so supportive.

The beautiful outdoor play area feels close to nature, picturesque and safe, while indoors, cosy corners and art zones keep things engaging.

We also get constant, clear updates on home tips, communication's spot on and we couldn't be more happier for our son. Big thank you so much Papillon team !!!

in such a nurturing and positive environment. The communication with parents is always excellent, and I always felt confident that my children were safe, happy, and well cared for. I'm truly grateful to the whole team for giving both my kids such a wonderful start!
