Bright Horizons Norfolk Lodge Montessori Day Nursery

My daughter loves coming to the nursery! The staff are kind and thoughtful and the variety of activities on offer - from French to gymnastics, dance and football, mean that there is never a dull moment.

Norfolk Lodge has been a safe, happy and friendly nursery for my daughter for two years. From the moment I walked through the door, I felt the warmth and kindness from all members of staff. The children are always smiling and show respect to others. My daughter has blossomed both socially and academically and I feel extremely lucky that she has had this fantastic start to her journey of life. Thank you to all the staff at Norfolk Lodge.

Communication with parents is great. We are regularly updated and fully involved with both our daughter's learning and her well-being. Staff are extremely caring and have great relationships with the children. The senior leadership are very approachable and it's clear that they are passionate about ensuring the best outcomes for the children.

Great help with my son ( with a mild hearing loss) to differentiate between 'ch' and 'sh' sounds. Specially selected reading books given with the sounds. Flashcards made by keyworkers to bring home to practice sounds. He cracked it in a few days with the excellent extra help.

We have been so pleased with the progress our son has made this year. He has been encouraged to develop his writing and number recognition at his own speed. We love the fact that his classroom activities vary so much and that they have a topic each term. Although he has yet to start reading, we are pleased with the foundation skills that he has developed at Norfolk Lodge. We will remember his time here with fond memories as he makes the jump to Reception class in September.

We have sent both our children to Norfolk Lodge. They have both been looked after exceptionally well and we have nothing but positive things to say about the staff and standard of education they provide. Our children have thrived in a safe and nurturing environment and we will be very sad to say goodbye after a fantastic 8 years.

My younger son will also attend this nursery.

This nursery is by far one of the best in North London and Herts. The staff are amazing, kind, caring and enthusiastic. Norfolk Lodge is such a lovely setting with the house and the garden, it ticks all my boxes. This is my third child, so attending a nursery full of fun, learning and laughter is brilliant.

I would not hesitate in recommending Norfolk Lodge. From the headmistress, office staff to the teachers in the classrooms, they are all professional and friendly. It's a loving environment and the teachers are amazing. My eldest learnt so much during her time here. My youngest has now started too. It's a stimulating and caring environment. Children are very well looked after. I was surprised at how significant the price increase is.

My youngest daughter is shortly finishing at Norfolk Lodge because she is due to start school. All the teachers have been an amazing. They really care about the children. They have been taught so many things in a very fun way. Both my daughters have thoroughly enjoyed their time at nursery and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Norfolk Lodge to other parents.

I am very impressed with the fact that the teachers push the children according to their ability. I would highly recommend the nursery.

She has been with Norfolk Lodge since 11 months old and I am so pleased how she has become incredibly independent and looking to learn more and more.

My daughter has been at the nursery for almost 2 years now. We have seen her flourish both socially and academically with her letters and numbers as well as her general knowledge. The teachers are always approachable and take care to get to know all the children individually. They take pride in their work. The children are learning so much without even realising because they are having fun. The nursery atmosphere helps the children develop close friendships. My daughter looks forward to going to nursery every day. I will be recommending the nursery to all my friends.

Our child started this school in September 2015. She has since moved up to the Montessori classroom and has been there for 4 months. Her knowledge has grown exponentially asks questions on topics that we have not covered at home. Her ability to work quietly on her own as well as explore the environment around her without fear or hesitation has also grown. She has become even more confident in her ability and capacity to learn.
