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.

My daughter is in Toddler 2, and she absolutely loves it. I am very happy to leave her in the capable hands of all members of staff. I know she is well looked after and really enjoys her time at Montessori On The Park. My daughter is very verbal and comes out of school full of chatter about her day,
and the things she has done. I am also very impressed with the way the school has dealt with the pandemic of Covid-19, which has been a big concern of mine, but I am more than happy and confident in the school and staff to keep my daughter and her friends safe, cared for and looked after.

Montessori On The Park have been extremely welcoming to our toddler - after three months of lockdown during Covid-19 and no previous nursery experience; the team have slowly, and gently introduced him into a nurturing, social environment. We are very grateful for their time, constant feedback, and dedicated
staff, especially under such difficult circumstances this year.

The setting is a really good place for my child, she is receiving great care and is surrounded by very friendly and easily approachable staff. I feel she is learning and developing in a really excellent environment. She always brings lots of her work home and speaks about the activities that happened
at nursery with lots of enthusiasm.

Our kids attended MOTP for close to 4 years (daughter), 2 years (son) and I would be singing their praises forever. The teachers are wonderful, caring and full of experience, the food is of an excellent standard and allows little ones to explore new flavours and cuisines. The educational aspect of the
nursery is of a very high standard and our children have been thriving there and have loved being part of this wonderful setup. Thank you, to the manager and the team!

We have 2 children at Montessori On The Park, one in the pre-school and one in the baby room. We are very satisfied with the staff and facilities at the nursery. The staff are professional and efficient and are warm and good-natured with the children. Our children have a number of food allergies and
the managers, pre-school and baby room staff, have always been clear and forthcoming with their allergy and asthma management.
Our daughters have always been very happy here and we would definitely recommend this nursery to prospective parents.

My son started preschool in October 2019 and settled in very quickly. The staff in the preschool class are very attentive to his needs and also very welcoming. We were very nervous parents and the management made sure we were comfortable and they were very reassuring. 100% recommend Montessori On The
Park.

We are very happy that our child is at this calm, organised and friendly nursery. They have a strong relationship with their key worker, who helped them get settled quickly and reassured us. We love the individual reports each day and feel our child is well known to all the staff. When I meet the older
children, I can see curious, balanced and happy children that confirm this is the nursery for us.

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.
