Montessori on the Park is a private day care nursery providing high quality childcare for children aged 3 months to 5 years.
Situated in a stunning converted church on the St Marks Gate of Victoria Park and the end of Cadogan Terrace, the Nursery is perfectly positioned for both local residents and commuters into central London.

Alongside the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) curriculum, they follow the Montessori method of education, which was developed by Dr Maria Montessori, and is a child-centred educational approach. It is an approach that focuses on the development of the whole child, physical, social, emotional and cognitive.

The Montessori Method is an approach to learning which emphasizes active learning, independence, cooperation, and learning in harmony with each child’s unique pace of development. It is a holistic approach emphasizing all aspects of development, rather than on attaining specific pieces of information. The Pre-School children take part in daily Montessori sessions with a qualified Montessori teacher.

The Nursery’s approach goes above and beyond the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) to foster deep level learning and optimise potential.

They offer a range of unique educational experiences which enable children to become successful, lifelong learners including, Wake up and shake up, a range of bespoke activities which promote your child’s well-being and confidence, and Garden Champions.

They also offer unique educational experiences which enable children reach their full potential including yoga, Spanish, drama, cookery and gardening as well as trips out into the community.

The dedicated staff team support children to fulfil their potential through a range of engaging experiences and learning opportunities, which are tailored to each child’s own developmental needs and interests, ensuring they are fully prepared for their next steps in education.

Our son has been at Montessori On The Park since he was one, first in the baby room and now in the toddler room. We’ve always found the staff to be helpful, approachable and very loving with him. We love the atmosphere and are looking forward to sending our youngest there too soon.

Wonderful nursery with staff that have taken the time to get to know me and my baby. My baby has developed a strong bond with her key persons and smiles and waves and claps with excitement each morning when being dropped off. As a parent, I appreciate the daily reports from staff on the fun activities
they have been up to (babies do gardening and breadmaking!) and the vast amounts of good, healthy food she is provided with throughout the day.

The place was recommended to me by two of my friends and a neighbour.
My kid loves being at the nurser,y and when I pick him up, I see he was looked after.
I like the staff and the way they communicate with us. It’s my second nursery and by far the best that I have come across.

My daughter runs into nursery in the morning and does not look back. She loves all her friends and teachers a lot and talks about them when we pick her up. Her teachers are very friendly and knowledgeable and they do a large variety of activities with them. The managers are helpful, they spend lots
of time in the classrooms as well. School is always very clean and tidy and everyone is smiling.

We only started in pre-school with our son and have had a great experience. He learns a lot in all sorts of topics. He is now well prepared for reception in September. We would strongly recommend the nursery to anyone. The staff are brilliant with kids and always ready to help with strategies. The communication
with the nursery is generally really good and has been exceptional ever since the pandemic started.

Our daughter started here after 4-months at home with us during the Coronavirus lockdown and within days we saw a complete transformation. She is so happy going in the morning and her days seem to be filled with great activities, and lots of time outside. Every member of staff is warm and kind and friendly.
We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend it!

My child loves coming to nursery in the morning. The teachers are fantastic, very loving and polite. They have awesome activities in the classroom and have lovely topics that they cover. Children spend time outdoors every day and do lots of physical activities. Management is very friendly, professional
and approachable, they always call or email to let me know if my child has settled in if he was upset at drop off. I highly recommend this nursery.

My child attends toddler class. we find the nursery staff very dedicated. They were most helpful settling our little comeback in baby room, which wasn't easy. The nursery is clean and well organised, the communication is always clear. Children thrive in the environment and are well looked after. The

The kids love the staff who were caring for them. Everyone was very friendly and willing to go the extra mile. The nursery is clean and the children have opportunities to learn something new every day. The nursery is very close to a park which is an extra bonus. We get weekly updates from the manager,
so we always know what children have been up to and what is happening in the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.854)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.854) out of 10 for Montessori On The Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.854 for Montessori On The Park is calculated as follows: ( (270 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 308 Ratings = 4.854
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Montessori On The Park is based on 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 69 number of registered child places is 13.8, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
