Forest Hill Montessori is a private day care nursery situated in Forest Hill, London. The nursery is ideally positioned for both local residents and commuters.
Alongside the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) curriculum, the Nursery follows the Montessori method of education, which was developed by Dr Maria Montessori, and is a child-centered 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 the 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.
Garden Champions is the Nursery’s own bespoke Above and Beyond Educational Experience gardening activity. This activity extends children’s knowledge of the outdoor environment, habitats, caring for living things, growth cycles and growing vegetation outdoors.
The Nursery Chef prepares all the children’s meals fresh on the premises each day, and the menus have been designed using the latest nutritional software to ensure they are nutritionally balanced, as well as delicious.

We have been very happy with our daughter's time at nursery. It has been a delight to see her grow in confidence, gaining the independence to do more things for herself. She has developed some lovely relationships with the children, and staff around her. Staff are attentive and caring and seem to take the time to really get to know the children. We have seen such a progression in our daughter since joining, and we are reassured knowing that she is so well looked each day.

FHM welcomed us with care and understanding given that we had to quickly find alternative arrangements for our daughter as the previous nursery was temporarily closed down. The entire staff from management to practitioners on the ground were warm, supportive and understanding and have played a big role into supporting not just my daughter, but the family as a whole. Staff were transparent with their practice, safe and calm and supported my little one to blossom and go to primary school.
We are so happy with the love & care our daughter has received since starting in September. Everyone knows her name and seems to understand what she needs! Staff have accommodated her forever-changing nap needs! We are very happy here.

Both my children have been so happy at Forest Hill Montessori Nursery. The staff are caring, kind and show so much care and attention to each child.there are lots of different activities for example international week, plenty of outside play, field trips to the park/library/shop. Every single staff member is personable and remembers my older child who left several years ago which means a lot.The sessions are flexible and can be added last minutes which I appreciate.

Staff are attentive and positive, her days are filled with activities including nature walks and planting seeds, and we have confident, articulate and happy child who returns home each night exhausted. The nursery is expensive but there is an element of you get what you pay for.

Since attending Forest Hill Montessori Nursery, my son has excelled in a numerous amount of ways including his speech and his social skills. The staff are so caring and attentive and this has allowed me to feel beyond comfortable knowing that my son will receive the best quality care.

My daughter has been a Forest Hill Montessori Nursery since she was 10 months old and we had fantastic experiences over the years. She is now leaving preschool and absolutely loves going to school and learning through play. The staff there are just so loving and supportive of children and we could see that in my daughter's development. A big thank you to the team we will miss you.
We love Forest Hill Montessori, we have our second daughter in the baby room now. The staff are like family, they care for and nurture the kids like they are their own. They adapt and support each child's unique needs. We wouldn't go anywhere else.

My son has attended Forest Hill Montessori Nursery for almost six months and overall we are very satisfied. Most days he is happy to go in and he is learning and developing as he comes home saying and doing things he has been taught at nursery. Sometimes communication is a little chaotic in the office, IT can break or the wrong newsletter is sent out. I would appreciate the occasional photo during the day but overall the care and attention to the children is more important to me and I see that here.

Forest Hill Montessori was recommended to us and we’ve had an excellent experience with the nursery so far. Staff, particularly in the baby room, have all be warm and caring and have made every effort to make my child feel safe and comfortable since joining in early May. We receive updates on their meals, sleep, activities and nappy changes on pick up along with pictures and updates through the app and via a newsletter each week. Overall, though settling in has had its challenges, we have felt supported throughout and are very happy with our choice of nursery.
