Oak Lee Montessori School offers childcare for children aged six months to five years old. The school is set in a former family home, on quiet, residential street in Pinner, Greater London. It is a short walk from Love Lane car park, Pinner Underground Station and bus stops for the H11, H12 and H13 bus routes.
Oak Lee follows the Montessori method, a holistic approach that garners each child’s capacity for learning through independent and guided play in specially created learning environments. Qualified Montessori teachers support each child as an individual to explore their interests in stimulating play areas. Guided learning is designed in line with the EYFS curriculum to support each child to reach their development goals.
The team work closely with parents, creating a plan for each child and recording their progress using an Individual Online Learning Journey, with progress reports produced every six weeks.
Extra-curricular activities are available at no extra cost. These include French, ICT, music and movement, tennis and yoga. Children enjoy outings a few times a year, such as to the Natural History Museum, Science Museum, Transport Museum and Petting Farm.
Oak Lee also works with a local care home, providing intergenerational experiences for the children and care home residents.
All meals are freshly prepared by Oak Lee’s cooks. All food is nutritionally balanced, low in sugar and salt, and made using organic ingredients as much as possible. The kitchen team can cater to any dietary needs, including lifestyle choices, religious requirements and allergies and intolerances.

We are coming to the end of our son's first year at Oak Lee Montessori School. The nursery has helped him settle in really well and are obviously caring and experienced in what they do. The nursery has excellent learning activities and sessions which parents can also attend. They organise really useful, informative evenings such as sessions on oral health and toilet training. The focus on the child's individual development within the group setting is also excellent. The food menu is also well planned with careful consideration of healthier, nutritional meals and snacks. The nursery conducted a review of their menu recently with good effect after listening to parents. Regardless, prior to this, they still had a far better menu than many other nurseries. Would definitely recommend this nursery/
↩Reply from Meera Bhogal, Admin at Oak Lee Montessori School
Thank you so much, I will pass this on to the team. We are so glad that your son has settled in. We are very proud of our in-house kitchen team and for making sure we provide nutritious food. We look forward to working with our parents to create an environment at nursery and home to nurture our children. Thank you again.

Our daughter loves Oak Lee Montessori School! Our experience with them is excellent - lots of communication, great structure and staff who are genuinely excited to see the children in the morning. Every day there's feedback with regular photos. Speaking to other parents outside for drop-off and pick-up feels like a genuine community.

My daughter has been attending Oak Lee for almost two years. She has thrived at the nursery, developed and learnt so much. Her eating habits and willingness to try different foods, especially fruit and veg are great, and I am grateful for the support the staff have given in her development.

We have sent our son to Oak Lee Montessori School when he was 9 months old (he is now 3 years and 3 months). He adores all his teachers including cooking teachers. The progress he has made from both learning and behavioural perspective is simply incredible: he is only 3 but he is already starting additions and phonics but most importantly it is done in such a subtle way that kids think that they are playing and without any pressure. The activities and conversations they have at the nursery are varied from values e.g. everybody is unique and special to the solar system. Physical activity is also valued. And the food apparently is delicious as quite a lot of kids tend to go for seconds. The nursery management is exceptional! When most nurseries closed for the first lockdown, ours stayed open to support key workers and online learning options have been provided to us to support us (e.g. online yoga, story reading and materials we could print like colouring pages etc). I could not ask for a better nursery!

Thank you so much for an amazing review. I have let the team know. We have such a strong parent partnership and simply could not have closed when we were needed the most. We always strive for the best and we are so pleased that you have had such an amazing experience.

I could not recommend Oak Lee Montessori School more. We have two daughters there, aged one and four. My eldest has thrived since joining there in the last year. Her reading, writing and understanding of different topics has developed so much and she will be more than ready for big school. My youngest is equally enjoying it and settled in really quickly. The staff are extremely dedicated and focused on the individual needs of the children. Plus the food there is amazing! The communication from the management and office is also fantastic.

Both our children went to Oak Lee Montessori School. We had an exceptional experience both times. The nursery is well run, with managers visible and accessible on a daily basis. The key staff members and management team have been there for a number of years and are highly experienced and dedicated. They set the kids up very well and make them independent which helps them to transition to school, such as in the way they shake hands in the evening, the uniform, French studies, short tennis, IT classes and the fact that the kids all have to carry their own book bags. The management have a strong ethos around healthy eating with an exceptional menu for kids. This is very important as the kids learn about nutrition at an early age. Both our kids thrived at Oak Lee Montessori School, settled very easily into school life and loved their time there. We would highly recommend Oak Lee Montessori School.

Both my children attended Oak Lee Montessori School where they grew from babies into independent and confident children, ready for school. They were always well looked after, stimulated, well-nourished and educated to a high standard. I always felt confident knowing that they were in safe hands. The food was always freshly prepared, healthy and well balanced. The organisation, activities and communication were always to a high standard, which is reflected in their detailed and numerous strict policies. The founder is very passionate and has a great team. I highly recommend Oak Lee Montessori School.

We had a wonderful experience sending our daughter to Oak Lee Montessori School. The induction and registration process was swift and well conducted. I really felt they wanted to get to know my child and they were very detailed with the information they gathered. My daughter settled in almost immediately and was very excited to attend daily. We noticed how she was taking on positive actions and behaviours learnt whilst she was there, such as pushing chairs in when standing up and tidying away shoes without a thought. Her confidence grew and she was always happy. The staff were welcoming and polite. Management was great at keeping parents up to date and communication was excellent. We were always really impressed that it was a structured environment and processes were very swift especially drop off's and pickups.

Oak Lee provides a nurturing, disciplined environment for nursery aged children to grow and develop, preparing them with an excellent foundation to walk into compulsory education with confidence and independence - fully prepared to learn and grow. The nursery has a wonderful, open and approachable management team that care's for the children's mental and physical wellbeing as well as teaching great life skills and foundations for academic education. We've sent both our daughters here and my nieces will follow too.

We chose to send our eldest son to Oak Lee as a recommendation when we moved to Pinner. My only regret is we didn't send him to Oak Lee sooner. We sent our second son to Oak Lee when he was 7 months old and he will stay with the Oak Lee family until he goes to school. We love that the amazing, kind, caring staff are so upbeat, polite and nurturing. We love the independence that Oak Lee instill into our children. My children are so helpful and independent at home as a result. They instil good manners by entering greetings and leaving at the end of the day. The learning is second to none with so many variations with teaching. Care home trips and engagement of children with the elderly instil respect. The food is nutritious and the communications are fantastic.

We have been with Oak Lee for over 7 years; we have 3 children and our youngest is still there! Over this time, we've been fortunate to build and maintain a great partnership with Oak Lee and I believe our children have benefitted from this. From a very young age, Oak Lee introduced structure and education but more importantly, the children are happy and engaged throughout, that's based on our experience.

My son went to Oak Lee Montessori School when he was younger, now in year three and my daughter currently goes there. It's a very professional setup, staff are trained very well and everything is done in a systematic and proper way with education, social skills, food and play. There is daily feedback to parents via their website, weekly photos sent to parents, regular one-to-one catch-ups and parental workshops. We feel very secure sending our little one to this safe and caring environment and are confident that she will be ready for school when she graduates. I would highly recommend this nursery to parents.

Picking a nursery for any new mother returning to work is a daunting task; with the fear of missing out, the anxiety of having someone other than family caring for your little one and the general uncertainty of what to expect from it all. I would like to say one meeting with the staff at Oak Lee Montessori School and I was sold. All the staff were so warm and welcoming and treat each child as individuals. The daily fun activities are tailored to each child ensuring they reach their full potential. The onsite cook and team come up with the most amazing nutritious dishes too. There is also the opportunity to have regular catch up's with my son's key workers which I have found reassuring and informative. My little one has been attending for a year now and I would highly recommend Oak Lee Montessori School to anyone looking for a nursery in the area. It's been such a blessing to have found such a wonderful nursery to provide him with such a solid foundation in life.

I founded Oak Lee Montessori in 2009 and we opened our doors in early 2010. My dream was always to open up a setting which provided excellent childcare which was firmly rooted in the belief that as childcare professionals we can make a difference to the lives of the children we care for and their families. After qualifying as a Nursery Nurse and Montessori Teacher, I worked at the Cheyne Centre for Children with Cerebral Palsy. I have incredibly fond memories of my time there and the bonds I made with the children I cared for. I spent some years in the family hardware business and was at that stage a working Mum. I have two girls who are now 24 and 26 years old and family is hugely important to me. This drives me each day to ensuring that we build Oak Lee into a community where we all support each other and teach the children the value of community, integrity, kindness and charity. I believe education and learning should continue throughout our life and as such I ensure I provide my team opportunities to learn and grow. I am passionate about health and well being and have embedded these within the very fabric of Oak Lee by investing time, energy and resources on the food we provide and incorporating yoga into our daily routine.

My name is Becky, I am the Nursery Manager at our Love Lane site. I Joined Oak Lee in 2010 when it had recently opened and started as a Senior Nursery Teacher, with my NVQ level 3 that I had gained at a previous Montessori setting. I became the Deputy Manager of the nursery in 2012 and had opportunities to teach and care for the children, working in all classrooms with all ages. I decided to further my knowledge by beginning my foundation degree in 2013, I then Graduated in 2016 after three years with my BA Honours degree in ‘Working in Integrated services for children and young people’. I then became the Nursery Manager in 2016, where my passion continues to be to provide a safe, happy environment, with high quality care and education. I had my first child in June 2019, my son Harry, who has attended the nursery with me since he was 6 months old. This has given me the opportunity to see the setting from a parents perspective too, seeing first-hand the love, support and care they provide him which is evident in his smiley face entering and leaving daily. I feel privileged and proud to work with the team I have at Oak Lee

My name is Chanel and I am the Early Years Co-Ordinator for Oak Lee. I first joined the Oak Lee family in January 2013, starting as an apprentice working towards my Level 2 qualification. I then went on to gain my Level 3 qualification in 2015 and quickly started my foundation degree at the University of West London, whilst still working at Oak Lee full time which I completed in June 2017. I then decided to work towards completing my third year at university, where I gained my BA Honours degree in ‘Working in Integrated Services for Children and Young People’ in June 2018. Throughout my time at Oak Lee, I progressed my way up the family tree, being the Manager at the West End Lane branch from April 2019-April 2021. I have always had a passion to nurture, love and care for children of all ages and my knowledge and qualifications have helped me to progress to the person I am today. My new role allows me to work with the staff to further their knowledge and understanding of their roles and responsibilities, ensuring the staff deliver high standards to nurture and teach the children.

My name is Katy and I am the Training & Development Co-ordinator for Oak Lee. I started back in 2011 as a Nursery Assistant, after I graduated from University with a BA (Hons). Having worked as a summer assistant in another nursery in between study, I knew that Early Years teaching was the career for me and I was very excited to join the Oak Lee family! That same year, I enrolled part-time at Stanmore College to gain my NVQ Level 3 in Childcare and become a qualified member of the team. I then enrolled back at University to achieve my Early Years Professional Status (equivalent to QTS) and became part of the management team as the Early Years Co-ordinator at our Love Lane nursery in 2013. Always eager to learn more, I enrolled onto a Level 4 Montessori Diploma course studying at the Montessori Centre International, which I completed in 2016. I then became the Manager of our new West End Lane nursery site in January 2017. Oak Lee has always supported my goals and aspirations and has helped me achieve so much in the years I have been part of the team. I have a real passion for providing the very best in Early Years care and education and love to help others further their knowledge, gain their qualifications and nurture the same passion for achieving high standards, as I have, and my new role allows me to do just that.

I am currently working with the Under 2’s but have run the toddler and pre-school rooms which has given me the opportunity to understand the development of a child from 6 months to 5 years and enabling me to support my colleagues in delivering outstanding care to the children at Oak Lee.
