Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We viewed so many nurseries in Havering before finding this little gem. They could not be more caring. My son cannot wait to go there. We were worried he would be distressed as he had never been left with anyone before this but he is so happy, it is such a relief to my wife and I. They make sure he
has a healthy diet. He eats a varied diet and loves sitting with the other children and staff, like in a family environment. Well done Montessori Minds. You have made us a happy contented family and we look forward to you caring for our son for many years to come.

Having looked around most nursery’s in Havering, I can confidently say this is by far the most welcoming and caring environment we found.
The place itself is set up beautifully with wonderful Montessori toys and materials.
The staff are so attentive and genuinely very caring and cater for your child’s
individual needs.
It’s home from home for our little girl. They go that ‘extra mile’, from the wonderful home cooked food to the experiences and activities they arrange.
I could not recommend them more!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I never thought I will be comfortable leaving my baby with someone else be it a nursery, a childminder or babysitter. I just wasn't comfortable with the idea of leaving her with someone else and not knowing if she is ok or not. But this nursery listens to all your worries and tries to keep you updated
as much as possible so that you feel at ease. My baby seems to enjoy all the different activities and she looks forward to her next day in and I couldn't be happier. She never cried when I dropped her which for me is a very good sign that she is very happy to be there. I am also very aware that other nurseries are very careless about the kids and let them run around with a dirty nose or dirty nappy but I never found her in a mess which proves to me that they really pay attention to them. Keep up the good work!

This is the best nursery in Havering. It might even be the best in Essex. They are new but the owners are very experienced in childcare and you can see that through the care and attention to detail. I was very nervous to start my child in the nursery as she has been with me all day every day for 2 years
but they have put my mind at ease and even though I might be a bit annoying calling and asking how she is, they never answer me in a rude or annoyed way. They understand the anxiety and they try to help you feel at ease. It is honestly the only nursery I trust. They have everything made of wood instead of cheap plastic, even the fruits and veggies the children play with are real not plastic, they take regular trips to the park and fish market to buy new fish for their aquarium, they offer organic food and filtered water. They do everything perfectly. My child is also allergic but they have immediately eliminated everything that she is allergic to from the menu. They are truly the best!

This nursery is amazing! The care and attention for the children is unparalleled in Havering. A true gentle Montessori style setting with a team that is passionate about care - where else can you get this alongside organic food, filtered water and a gentle caring ethos.


The manager is passionate

and unwavering in her ambition for the nursery. Everything is held at a high standard with the children's wellbeing squarely at the centre. Every decision made is rooted in grounded theory and experience. I feel safe and comfortable leaving my child in their care. All staff are friendly, approachable and happily adapt to the needs of the child/family.


The equipment and toys are all natural. Every care is taken to ensure that the setting/furniture/equipment all reflect the ethos of the nursery.


The opening times are very convenient (7am - 7pm) so the days when I need to get to work earlier or am running late aren't too much of a problem.


My daughter and niece absolutely love it there!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.983)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.983) out of 10 for Montessori Minds Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.983 for Montessori Minds Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (283 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 288 Ratings = 4.983
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Montessori Minds Day Nursery is based on 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
