Les Petites Etoiles Bilingual Montessori - Paddington

A huge thank you to everyone at the nursery for taking such good care of our two little girls for the last five years! When we were first looking for nurseries, we wanted the best environment for our daughters. We needed a nursery that stayed open until 6pm and where the children were happy, loved and given the chance to play and have fun. Even though Les Petites Etoiles was further away than other options, it ticked all the boxes for us. The dual language care is a huge bonus as we both speak French. We have been thrilled with Les Petites Etoiles. The atmosphere in the nursery is wonderful: the teachers are always kind and friendly and love what they do. The communication with parents is exceptional, clear and thoughtful, with regular updates on what the children have been doing. Our girls have very different personalities, but Les Petites Etoiles supported them both brilliantly and they developed their own relationships with the teachers in a lovely way. A wonderful experience!

We watched Raka blossom here. He became more confident, more expressive, and more independent. He learned to share, to communicate better, and to explore the world around him through fun and meaningful activities. Every morning he looked forward to going to nursery. As parents living abroad, having a nursery that feels like an extended family means everything. The teachers at LPE-Paddington supported us wholeheartedly-always available for conversations, updates, and reassurance. We are incredibly thankful for the love, patience, and dedication that the team has shown.

The only minor drawback is that the nursery is located in a basement, but the children go outside regularly, so it's not really an issue.

We've had a fabulous year so far, in two of the rooms. We've found all staff, rooms, food and drink to be of the highest quality. The multi-language approach has been great for our child and his social skills are excellent.

The food was excellent and it was clear that every aspect of the nursery was thoughtfully designed to support the children's development and happiness. Choosing the right nursery is important and we feel so lucky to have found the perfect one. We couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough.

A wonderful nursery. We have had two children at Les Petites Etoiles, both for several years and cannot recommend it highly enough. Warm, friendly, kind, thoughtful staff. Excellent communication. We have been pleased with our decision throughout, thank you!

My son started Les Petites Etoiles when he was 14 months old and continued for 3 years and we left in tears for reception. It was such a great journey over the 3 years leaving our son every morning to capable hands and being sure that he will be taken good care of. We are none French-speaking family and we feel that we invested in our son's future by sending him to a bilingual nursery. Staff are amazing and the communication is very good to understand what is going on in their daily routine. We can only thank and be grateful to all staff and teachers of Les Petites Etoiles Paddington for the amazing 3 years who helped our son's development.

We have now moved her out of convenience for nursery closer to us but we will miss the team at Petites Etoiles and will remember fondly the nursery.

We absolutely love the nursery Les Petites Etoiles Montessori - Paddington. My little one spent more than two years there, and we had a wonderful experience. The vibe is super cosy, and the teachers are not only nice but also exceptionally trustworthy. We feel so confident with the amazing staff. Les Petites Etoiles Montessori - Paddington is all about creating a warm and supportive space for the kids, and we're grateful to be a part of it. We highly recommend this nursery.

Their dedication to creating a nurturing and educational environment has set a strong foundation for our children's academic and personal growth. We wholeheartedly recommend Les Petites Etoiles to any parent seeking a caring and enriching kindergarten experience for their child.

I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience with Les Trois Oursons Bilingual Nursery. The nurturing environment, passionate educators and comprehensive curriculum have had an incredible impact on my daughter's bilingual early education. Les Trois Oursons' staff's dedication and care are remarkable. We were warmly welcomed by a professional and caring team. Les Trois Oursons Nursery creates a safe and inviting atmosphere where each child feels loved. The outstanding curriculum strikes a perfect balance between structured learning and play-based exploration, sparking my daughter's curiosity and love for learning. The dedicated educators nurture each child's abilities and create personalised learning experiences. Les Trois Oursons Nursery's emphasis on open communication and partnership with parents is commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend Les Trois Oursons Nursery for its exceptional bilingual education, nurturing environment and dedicated educators. Thank you, Les Trois Oursons Nursery for nurturing dreams, honing talents and inspiring a lifelong love for learning.

Overall, it was a great experience for our daughter, and she loved it. We highly recommend this nursery. Les Trois Oursons team - you will be missed.

All of my children have attended Les Trois Oursons, and my youngest left recently to go on to school. It is a brilliant nursery, cosy and nurturing for the children - mine all adored it. From a parents point of view, we were kept well informed, the staff are professional, trustworthy and always cheerful and ready to help. I would highly recommend it.

Our son attended Les Trois Oursons for the bunnies and penguin rooms. He bonded really well with the other children and all the staff. We found the care given to be of a very high standard, and that the staff (in particular the Manager) were always keen to be accommodating and approachable. We thought the activities they did in the classes to be varied and our son seemed to find them extremely engaging. I would have no issue in recommending Les Trois Oursons.

Great nursery with amazing staff in all age groups. My two sons really benefitted from this nurturing and joyful environment. Having experienced other nursery settings, I strongly recommend Les Trois Oursons Bilingual Nursery - Paddington as a great place for toddlers to thrive. From food to the teaching, everything is really top quality.

Les Trois Oursons is a wonderful nursery! I could see that my daughter enjoyed each day of nursery that she attended!

The children are divided into three age appropriate classes with an excellent ratio of teachers to children in each. In their daily schedule and weather permitting, the children also have access to nearby green spaces and other outdoor activities. There are also occasional classes, such as yoga, music, and sports, which my daughter seemed to thoroughly enjoy!

The bilingual (or tri-lingual) teaching the nursery offers is unique and I believe offers children an excellent opportunity to learn about the different languages that are used. Communication from the nursery is great, especially during the pandemic where parents were kept well informed throughout - additional videos were also recorded by the teachers to aid the children during the first lockdown.

To summarise, it's a wonderful nursery with amazing and friendly teachers on a lovely street near Paddington station.

My son attended Les Trois Oursons for two years (until he started school) and was incredibly happy there. The staff were very attentive to his individual needs and I felt he was very well supported there. They really helped him grow into the confident, chatty, and curious boy he is. During the pandemic, due to lots of reasons, my son had a small patch where he became rather unsettled, but I was incredibly impressed at how the nursery dealt with this and worked with me to help him find his happy self again. They really thought about how to help him through this period, and I really appreciated their attention to detail, this was no small feat given all the complexity they were dealing with like all nurseries at the time. He also learnt to eat really well here, the food at the nursery is amazing, my son has a lot of allergies and so got to know the chef quite well, and they served him excellent dairy and nut free food!

Our daughter went to Les Trois Oursons from January 2020 until July 2021. She absolutely loved her time there, first in the Bunnies Room and then in the Penguins Room. For us, her parents, it was such a delight to see her thrive at Les Trois Oursons. She learnt so much there! The main reason we chose this nursery was the fact that it is bilingual French/English (us being a French speaking family), and indeed she developed her speech in both languages. All the staff are very caring, and our daughter was very fond of her teachers. The food offered at Les Trois Oursons is very nice, and she seemed to really enjoy lunchtime there. Overall, I absolutely recommend this nursery!

It was our first time placing our 15 month old son in nursery and we were a little anxious with how he would respond to a new environment and new people as he had not been socialised given the periods of lockdown. Les Trois Oursons took every measure to ensure our son settled in well and that his first experience of nursery was fun, happy and positive. We were pleased with the Montessori principles adopted by Les Trois Oursons in the activities, room layout and approach at mealtimes.

Our daughter had a wonderful time at Les Trois Oursons. We had tried another nursery beforehand, however, we could tell she wasn't enjoying it. She was always happy to get dropped off in the mornings and still happy when we picked her up. Les Trois Oursons is very well organised and communicate constantly. The staff are all excellent, friendly and caring. At the end of each day, it was nice to see the summary of the activities they did (i.e. going to the park, painting, drawing etc), along what they ate (which was always healthy and varied daily) and how long they napped for. Highly recommended.
