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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter left pre-school in July to go to school.
She has been in Montessori On The Park for 3 years and has thrived. She absolutely loved coming here and made lifelong friends. She loved all her teachers and will definitely come and visit.
We loved it here, all the teachers and the management
are amazing. It's a fabulous atmosphere, clean school and great staffing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Montessori On The Park is a fantastic nursery. The staff genuinely care for the children and the fact that they are so long-standing speaks volumes about the culture here.
The facilities are good. The location on the park is unique and one of the reasons we chose this nursery.
The management have
a solid relationship with the team and the roster of classes offered is great.
Would love greater playground facilities, however, having the park more than makes up for this. Excellent.

Montessori is a wonderful nursery with excellent staff.
The atmosphere is community driven with an emphasis on caring and nurturing kids through all their development stages.
Regular updates are brilliant in their daily activities and their progress report.
My daughter's progress has been excellent
during her time in pre-school and she loves being there with her friends. She enjoys all the various activities they get involved in.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It's lovely to see the same teachers teaching my daughter as my son five years ago. It means people are happy to work there and it's a credit for the management as well. Both of my children enjoyed I guess every minute spent in the nursery. My son started his reception class with a very solid knowledge,
thanks to the nursery.
Also, the staff is always very friendly and professional with the parents. So a big THANK YOU!

Review from Lucy A (Mother of Child) published on 29 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been absolutely delighted with the Montessori on the Park! My daughter settled in beautifully to the gorgeous nursery and I feel confident leaving her there every day that she is extremely well looked after.


The staff are so kind and clearly genuinely love children, my daughter adores her

key worker.


The babies are always playing with the lovely wooden toys, involved in an activity, singing songs or having cuddles with the staff. They even have drama sessions!


I also really like how much time all the children spend outside every day, going to the garden or for picnics in Victoria Park.


The atmosphere is always calm and happy and my daughter is always very enthusiastic about starting her day of fun!


I genuinely could not have hoped for a nicer and more nurturing nursery for her and would wholeheartedly recommend MOTP to any parent.

The team have been excellent with my son. He has gotten into such an independent boy with wonderful social skills. They have exposed him to yoga and swimming and really gave above and beyond to address his allergies. Really grateful for their excellent care.

Very pleased with the quality of care at Montessori On The Park. Staff is amazingly caring and made of real people who actually care about education and love the children. Activities are amazing inc. yoga, scooting drama and swimming, which is exceptional in London. Very familiar environment with a

Such a lovely nursery. Our child settled here in just a few days and has been happy ever since. We love the staff. There is a mix of male and female teachers which we appreciate and our son speaks fondly of all of them.
Preschool offers fantastic preparation for school. Amazing activities like yoga,
swimming and dance/drama. Most importantly, a warm, lovely atmosphere.

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.
