Overall Experience

We had a great experience at Casa Dei Bambini. My son joined the nursery very early on and they cared so well for my baby. The growth he has shown the past year has been remarkable. The teachers are very knowledgeable and will schedule Saturday sessions with the parents to discuss parenting topics. My husband and I learned so much, not just about Montessori teachings but also how to deal with day to day toddler problems. We highly recommend the nursery.

Review from Iris R (Mother of Child) published on 18 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Nido is a truly wonderful school with an exceptionally caring, dedicated, and kind team of educators. From the moment we joined the Nido community, we have felt nothing but warmth, support, and genuine commitment to ours child's growth and happiness. Every morning, our child goes to school happy and excited, and every afternoon, he returns home with his little heart and mind full of joy, curiosity, and new discoveries. This is the result of the impressive dedication from the team working with him.
It is clear that the teachers and staff at Nido take great pride in creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe, loved, and inspired to learn. The thoughtful approach to early childhood education, combined with the school's emphasis on emotional well-being, creativity, and independence, has made a remarkable difference in our child's development. We are impressed by the balance Nido maintains between structured learning and play-based exploration.

We are very happy!

Re.Casa. It grows on you. When some of the things didn't work for us, we wrote to Dipti and she got it resolved which I think speaks of a very high level of service.

I appreciate their commitment and effort to make it a very special place.

Review from Jessica L (Mother of Child) published on 20 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of my children went to Casa Dei Bambini for the year they were 3-years-old. My son also went to Nido at the age of 2. We were so happy with the care our children received, as well as how prepared they were for Reception. Casa truly commits to a Montessori environment, and our children developed wonderful skills for independence and an intrinsic motivation for learning. Their curiosity was encouraged, and we really appreciated the communication we received each week about the activities happening in the setting. Our Parent Conferences for each child gave us a lovely window into our children's growth as learners and as people. We were so touched to hear about their progress and also to see firsthand how well the teachers knew our kids. The relationships fostered at Casa are so special, and our kids are still close with friends they made in there.

Review from Laurie M (Mother of Child) published on 13 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter joined Casa from another traditional Montessori school and we are extremely pleased with our choice. She has been attending for 7 months now and she absolutely loves it. She has made tremendous progress in lots of different areas and we are so happy to see her flourish and benefit from the Montessori environment and material. The team is fantastic and takes really good care of the children, in a very thoughtful and organized way. We also love the small size, which ensures that the children receive individualised attention.
Our baby is at Nido nursery and we are also extremely happy. He has been attending for about 2 months, settling in was smooth, thoughtful and well organised, and we can feel he is in good expert hands. From the observation we have made in both settings, the teams are really exceptional and very intentional.

We would highly recommend Nido & Casa to any family interested in the benefits of a Montessori education.

Reply from Dipti Kanani, Director at Casa Dei Bambini Montessori School

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and heartfelt feedback! We are absolutely delighted to hear how much both your children are thriving at Casa and Nido.

Very stimulating and great for children, with various elements to promote independence.
My child always seems to enjoy going to nursery and is slowly learning English.
When weather will be warmer outside, we hope there will be various experiences.

Thank you for your kind attitude towards different languages like ours.

Thanks for your feedback. We are excited to see how quickly your child is picking up a new language and that he is thriving under our care. It's also kind of you to take the time to respond.

Review from Ankush G (Father of Child) published on 19 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We moved last year from another country and got recommended by a neighbour for our 1 year old son. He has been going there initially part time and then full time. We find it really nice, supportive environment for his learning and all our interactions with the teachers are great too.

Our son enjoys going there and we can see has become more self dependent with the Montessori principles. The headmistress is especially committed to children's learning and growth which makes this place great.

Reply from Dipti Kanani, Director at Casa Dei Bambini Montessori School

Thanks very much for your kind words about our nursery. We are pleased that your son is enjoying the nursery, and that he is learning a lot.

Review from Zhuang Rui T (Father of Child) published on 31 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our experience at Casa Dei Bambini Montessori School has been beyond exceptional! The entire team is so genuinely caring and thoughtful, creating a warm, nurturing environment where children feel completely at home. From day one, they've made the transition for my son so gentle and welcoming. Their approach emphasizes kindness and independence, which we love. It's heartwarming to see him setting the table and making bread-skills that build his confidence and independence daily. Him and his little friend have a little book reading circle too.
The teachers are wonderful, bringing patience and joy to everything they do, and it's clear they truly love and respect the children.

This place is simply magical for little ones.

Review from Julia P (Mother of Child) published on 12 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Nido provides a safe nest for our child to develop and grow. He entered as a baby and under the loving and thoughtful eye of the fantastic Nido team he has become a healthy, happy little boy.
He has learnt how to play with children and adults of a range of ages while developing his independence and cultivating good manners.

I've never had any of the mother guilt some working mums feel about sending their children to nursery, as I know he gets so much love and stimulation at Nido. That peace of mind is honestly priceless.

Caring staff who really get to know each child and encourage their independence and learning. Our son is excited to go every day and comes home smiling and happy. He is clearly engaged and helped to develop by the attentive staff. We feel lucky to have found this nursery in our neighbourhood as it has a much more genuine and authentic focus on children and their development than many of the others we looked at.

Review from S H (Father of Child) published on 29 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Amazing place and compassionate teachers.
My older boy attended for a year, three to four. The reason I chose the nursery was location, close from home, and that Casa provides the Montessori method in which my wife and I are interested.
While outside, playing space is a bit small, the inside is spacious enough for kids to play. The toys are genuine, wood-made, and so thought-out that kids can learn foundations of maths, language, motor skills, etc. All teachers are kind, friendly, and really professional. My son really loves them. Additionally, they provided a quick and great first aid, like when my son ran over and got injured. Very reliable in terms of safety. Furthermore, they sometimes provide seminars for parents, which helped us resolve daily parenting issues and facilitated our understanding of early-year learning and Montessori.

Casa uses an app as a reporting tool and portal website. There are easy to understand EYSF reports, tips for home playing and etc. We are truly satisfied with the experience!

Our son had an excellent first nursery experience. The staff are kind and understanding. They care about each child and take real interest in their development. The nursery is cleaned regularly and thoroughly, and we have seen our son pick up valuable skills and develop his interpersonal skills. We would recommend to other parents.

My son started at Nido as a 20-month-old toddler having moved overseas. The team and teachers made our transition smooth and warm. The whole team is very loving, kind, and always ready to help. My son loves the outdoors, and the garden is always set up with activities for them to use.
They offer courses on Saturdays to help parents apply the Montessori philosophy at home, which is great. They also do meetings with parents to discuss how children progress and what they are working on with them.

They offer veg menus too!
