Burgh Wood Montessori Nursery School

I couldn't be happier with my daughter's experience at this nursery. She has really enjoyed her time there and I have watched her confidence grow tremendously. I really liked the app where we received updates and photos, I was also impressed with the grounds and the learning set up. The teachers were all very professional yet kind and caring. I couldn't speak highly enough of the principal and I am extremely grateful that my daughter got to experience and grow in such a wonderful environment

My daughter has just completed her pre school year at Burghwood. From the start we were very impressed with the structure and expectations set for the children. My daughter was very proud to put on her nursery uniform and take her book bag in each day. The range of experiences Burghwood provides, within a structured and highly nurturing environment, have been fantastic. My daughter has loved the mix of more formal classroom learning via the Montessori approach, with outdoor, exploratory learning and trips into the community. The staff are dedicated and have high aspirations. My daughter has made many friends who she will journey onto "big school" with and has thoroughly enjoyed her Burghwood experience.

Our son has had a truly wonderful year at Burgh Wood Montessori. The care, warmth, and dedication of the entire team have been exceptional. We've seen such positive growth-his confidence, independence, and love for learning have all flourished during his time here. The nurturing environment and thoughtful approach to each child's development have made a lasting impact. We're incredibly grateful for the support and kindness shown to our family, especially as we now prepare for a big move abroad. The skills and values gained here will stay with him for life. A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Burgh Wood Montessori-you've given our child the best possible start.

If I could give a 10 star review I would!

The manager and her team are absolutely exceptional and I could not speak more highly of our experience at Burgh Wood. Our son has had such an enriching time. He has explored creative, outdoor and academic pursuits and will start "big school" with a strong understanding of the world around him, and with the ability to write his name, count to 50 and so much more. The manager runs a tight ship and we have really valued her attention to detail, regular communication and updates, whilst also prioritising the needs of the children. By far the best nursery in the area!!

Wish you all the best! Have a lovely summer holiday.

Fantastic nursery. My son, who had never been in an early years setting, settled so quickly and loves all of the staff. I really feel the team are setting him up for starting school next year. I can't thank the team enough.

Our daughter has flourished being at Burgh Wood and has given her a great head start to her life at primary school. We will certainly miss the Burgh Wood family.

My son really enjoys going to Burgh Wood Montessori Nursery School, this is down to the professional team including a dedicated manager, giving him opportunities and support to develop in all areas. My son had a fantastic first year and he is thriving. The feedback and communication I receive from nursery are exceptional, from dairy updates, observations raised and from his end-of-term report. I am really looking forward to my son's next year at this nursery school.

I am so pleased I chose this preschool for my little one amongst numerous others may I add and can’t wait to see him blossom and grow. I have already seen an improvement in his communication and confidence and he seems to be thriving! Thank you so much to the manager and all the staff, I look forward to this exciting journey together.

The nursery has fully prepared our daughter to start school in September and has supported her whilst becoming a big sister during her time here. We really can't thank them enough and whilst we're sad to be moving on, we look forward to returning with our second daughter once she turns 2.

I am so pleased to have found this nursery. My son settled in so quickly & looks forward to going every day. His key worker and the other nursery staff are always so smiley & welcoming to him and I really feel there's a nurturing, loving environment here with lots of stimulating activities. Would recommend this nursery to all & thank you for all your hard work with the children.

My 2 year old son started Burgh Wood in August. After 2.5 years at home with me. Myself and my partner were nervous about him starting this new journey. I had seen a quite a number of nurseries and none were 100% to our liking. Burgh Wood was the last on my list to visit and I was not disappointed. As soon as we walked in, it just felt right. The nursery was newly decorated, modern, clean and airy. One thing that really struck me was how calm the nursery was. The principal shows so such much pride and care for her nursery and it really does show in the children and exceptional staff. I have felt so relaxed and reassured leaving my son. The staff are so gentle and kind, always welcoming my son with such warmth. As a Covid baby, he has really come out of his shell and is very social. The nursery provide hot meals, which my son absolutely loves. The home visit was exceptional and gave my son a familiar face on his first day. The nursery is diverse, which was so important to us.

My daughter started in March 2022 when she turned 2 years old. Great and friendly staff, I feel happy with her attending where I know she is safe and doing loads of activities. I am now looking to increase her sessions. I would highly recommend the nursery to prospective parents.

My son was quite shy so we were a bit worried about him starting pre-school. However, all the staff at Burgh Wood Montessori Nursery School were so friendly and supportive from the start, always taking the time to listen to any concerns we had and then ensuring they put any appropriate actions into place. They would also always ensure we had any feedback we needed. We are very happy with Burgh Wood Montessori and my son loves it there. The new school building is amazing with a huge garden and lots for the children to do. We don't have a bad word to say and would definitely recommend!

I would like to say a big thank you for giving us the opportunity for my daughter, and a couple of years later, our son, to join Burgh Wood Montessori Nursery where they could explore and develop their skills in their own individual way. It took some time to find a nursery school for my daughter, but after speaking to the owner of the nursery, we knew that our daughter would be happy at Burgh Wood Montessori. The team at the school have done an amazing job settling in our daughter and two years after our son, particularly helping them to develop their English (as Polish is their first language) and also preparing them for primary school. The team made them feel safe and happy like at home and even better as they could do many “messy” things that we parents are not always are happy to do at home! They both loved going there. Thank you to all the Montessori staff!

I have had two children attend Burgh Wood Montessori over the past five years, my youngest graduated in September 2021. Throughout that time we have had nothing but a positive experience. Burgh Wood staff are kind caring and highly qualified. The forest school sessions were a favourite for both of mine. Burgh Wood staff fully prepared my children to transition into reception with no worries at all and they both still talk about their memories there fondly. It was the best decision we made to send our boys there and would highly recommend Burgh Wood Montessori.

As a family, we were sad that our journey at Burgh Wood ended (apparently there is a requirement to start primary school – much to my daughter’s disappointment) but love that we remain part of the wider alumni family! I would highly recommend this setting to anyone looking to give their children the best head start in their education in a warm, friendly, caring and supportive environment!
