Busy Lizzie's Montessori is such a lovely nursery. The surroundings are beautiful and well looked after, which creates a really calm and welcoming environment for the children. The staff are absolutely wonderful - so kind, caring, and attentive. You can tell they genuinely love what they do and care deeply about the kids. I'm really happy with the experience so far and would definitely recommend Busy Lizzie's to other parents!
We love your boys they are handsome, intelligent and so much fun to have in the nursery. Every day they come in excited to learn and explore new concepts - their beautiful smiles show their enjoyment. They have made excellent progress and are a pleasure to teach. Thank youf ro your kind review. Best wishes Liz.
My two daughters have gone here, and both have really come a long way and loved being there. One has just left to start school after spending two years attending the nursery; she was sad to be leaving, and my youngest has just started her last year before she will start school. She was very happy to be going back after the summer holidays and ran straight into the arms of her teacher.
Both my children have attended Busy Lizzie's. With my youngest still currently attending. All the staff are wonderful and engage so well with the children. the principal has always been so accommodating and helpful whenever I have needed help or advice. Both my children walked into the nursery without looking back. They flourish in the nursery and have learnt so much. The other children and parents are also so friendly and it makes for a lovely setting for our children to learn and grow. Thank you Busy Lizzie's!
Thank you for your very kind review it has been a pleasure having both your beautiful children - both your children are polite kind and have made excellent progress.
Truly an amazing nursery. Our twins get excited to go to nursery every single day. Nursery manager and staff are very friendly and kind and caring. We are very lucky that our kids go to one of the best nurseries.
We absolutely love your daughters, they are beautiful, bright and kind. They are such a pleasure to teach. Thank you for your lovely review.
Very helpful and nice teachers. Even when we were very new to the country, my child could easily adapt to his new life with the help of the teacher’s support and help. Happy to recommend. This nursery is really good value for money.
We loved teaching your son, he is intelligent, handsome and has a wonderful sense of humour. We wish you all a very happy and successful future.
I'm very happy with Busy Lizzies. The staff offer a friendly, caring approach to looking after my daughter. The daily activities help to develop my daughter's learning as well as lots of free playtime. My daughter is always happy to be dropped off.
Your daughter is a superstar, kind, intelligent and beautiful. Thank you for your kind review - we miss you all and wish you every happiness in your future.
My eldest attended this wonderful Montessori 10 years ago and now my younger two aged 2 and 3 also attend. The nursery manager has always been so accommodating to the children's needs and the staff are professional and friendly. My boys have flourished at Busy Lizzie's Montessori and I would highly recommend it for parents who want to send their children to nursery.
It is always a pleasure to teach your beautiful children, they are kind, intelligent and they have so many friends. Your are such a lovely family.
My son is very happy at Busy Lizzie's Montessori nursery. He is going willingly and is really happy to see his teachers and that is the most important for me. I like the way this nursery operates, I like the people who work there, and I like the weekly activities they create for children, overall they have and do everything that I have wanted for my child. My son started at one and a half years old and at this moment he is nearly three. He has the environment to be social and creative, and I believe it is contributing a lot to his overall development. I am confident he will have all the skills before starting primary school. I highly recommend Busy Lizzie's Montessori nursery/preschool to any parent and if I ever have more children, this nursery will always be my first choice in East Sheen.
We love your boy - he is such a lovely character, fun, handsome and a pleasure to teach. Thank you for your review.
My daughter has been at this nursery since she turned two. She has absolutely loved it, and our home is now an art gallery! She has had a great start to her education thanks to the loving and nurturing support shown to her and the increasingly crucial safety aware and secure environment of the nursery and its wonderful staff.
Stay in touch, thank you for the wonderful review.
My daughter started at two and a half years old and has attended for six months. I will send my younger daughter when she turns two. The staff are very friendly and obviously care deeply about the children in their care. My daughter absolutely loves going and often comes home with very creative artwork matched to activities in the calendar, using a great range of craft supplies which is a joy. She loves tennis and ballet. Her speech and counting have improved noticeably and the Montessori approach is beneficial as she enjoys tidying up now! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this wonderful nursery. The staff take Covid-19 precautions very seriously to protect everyone. Well done all at St Mary Magdalen Montessori Nursery School.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. Your daughter loves coming to nursery school. She is a pleasure to teach and immensely popular with everyone. She had done so well in the past year and a half, proving herself to be intelligent, beautiful and very polite. Best wishes.
My son spent three extremely happy years at St Mary Magdalen Montessori Nursery School. The staff are fantastic, and he made lots of lovely friends. He was very shy when he started, but due to the love and attention of the staff, he very quickly became a very confident little boy. They have a great programme which includes cookery, ballet and football, he especially loved cooking and playing football. The nursery also has many events throughout the year, we especially enjoyed sports day and the Easter egg hunt. They also hold a Christmas play, which is very sweet, and all of the children take part; it was very well organised, and I would recommend the nursery.
Your son was a pleasure to teach. He was very good at his numbers, very popular and excellent at football and sports. Thank you for your lovely review. Best wishes.
My two children aged four and two years attend this nursery. The staff are very kind and engage the kids in stimulating activities. There is a friendly and communal atmosphere. We have appreciated the nursery staying open during the pandemic. I highly recommend.
We have loved having your children; they are polite, beautiful and very intelligent. They are both a pleasure to teach, and we very much look forward to having them in the summer term. Thank you for your kind review.
She comes home every day very happy and enjoys telling me all the different activities she has been doing during the day.
She also takes part in a different activity every day which includes cooking, football, ballet, French and music which she loves.
All the staff made us feel very welcome and have all been amazing with her.
It is a very friendly, welcoming, nurturing and clean environment where I feel my daughter is well cared for.
The nursery is well equipped and I think the space is perfect for the children.
It also has two outdoor spaces for the different age groups which are lovely.
I would highly recommend this nursery and we very much look forward to the autumn term.
Thank you for your kind words.
Best wishes
My daughter has attended this very welcoming nursery since the term beginning after she turned 2 years old (she will soon be 4). She will be returning next term for her final year in September. The setting is lovely and the size and layout of the space works well. The staff are all fantastic and always warm and welcoming. The equipment provided is very good and the nursery is kept very clean and safe. The nursery always looks well decorated with the children's artwork and term projects. My daughter has done really well and enjoys all the extra activities which are: French, music, cooking, dance and football. She has made some really good friends there too. I highly recommend this nursery and will be really sad when my daughter leaves to go to school.
During the year that my daughter has spent at the nursery, I have been hugely impressed by how much she has progressed in the staff's warm, engaging and enthusiastic care. Since the first day, when she immediately felt comfortable in the welcoming and friendly environment there, she has run into the nursery every day. She has made many friends and has grown hugely in confidence. Each day she comes home and talks about what she's been doing - from ballet, cooking, football, to French or music - she has never been bored. Unfortunately, due to a change in circumstances, she is leaving the nursery this year, but I know she will really miss both the teachers and her friends, and I know she will have many happy memories of her time spent there.
We loved having your beautiful daughter, she came on in leaps and bounds. She is a kind, intelligent little girl who is loved by everyone, we will miss her. Thank you for your kind review.
Excellent nursery I highly recommend my son attended here for two years. He started as a very shy child and with the love and care of the staff really helped with his confidence with other children and adults. The staff are very welcoming and very professional willing to help with any questions and go above and beyond to facilitate this.
Your son was the most lovely boy, kind, polite, smiley and intelligent - he was a pleasure to teach. Thank you so much for our review.
My son has enjoyed being at St Mary Magdalen Montessori since the day he joined and continues to do so a year later. He started when he was 2 years old and the staff were absolutely fantastic in welcoming him and providing him with a warm, loving, caring and fun environment. My key was always that he was happy and had fun at such a young age but I have to say how impressed I am with the way they inject learning and development into the day without him even knowing. He has come on leaps and bounds. He talks about his day from the minute he gets home and during holiday time, he can't wait to get back to his friends and the teachers. A lovely relaxed, friendly environment and as a mother, I feel very confident that my son is happy, well looked after and being taught to a high standard.
