Overall Experience
My child is always happy to go to Montessori. She loves all the teachers and her little friends.

She has been learning a lot in this lovely place. Please give them a chance to meet you and show you this nursery before seeing others in Norwich.

Review from Clare M (Mother of Child) published on 26 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A truly inspiring nursery where children are the focus and everyone is valued. It is a warm and nurturing place that creates a lovely environment for children to explore and grow. On top of that, there is a real community feel, even though people travel from quite a wide radius to attend, it creates a community of its own. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Reply from Sarah Johnson, Manager at Norwich Montessori School

Thank you so much for your review; it is very much appreciated! Best wishes.

Review from Prim (Mother of Child) published on 29 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Norwich Montesorri is a darling of a nursery! It is by far one of the best nurseries I have used. The staff are friendly, highly experienced and qualified. Their approach is gentle and child-centred. My child loved it here! I love that they encourage reading by allowing kids to take a book home to share with the family each week, along with letters for I-Spy. This is such a clever way to promote letter recognition (as well as a love for reading). They involve the kids in snack preparation. And the harvest lunch, where the kids make a soup and bread and invite parents is so special.

I cannot praise Norwich Montesorri school highly enough! They are the real deal, not semi Montesorri, or Montesorri flavoured. Send your child here and you won't regret it!

Review from Janine T (Mother of Child) published on 20 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From the moment we walked in, I knew that this was the environment that I wanted my son to be nurtured in. It was so calm and engaging and personal. The school has a beautiful, organised space and welcoming, friendly and responsive teachers. Each child is cared for as an individual and their personality responded to and engaged with. My son has really thrived in his first term at the school. He has made friends and taken part in a wide range of stimulating and enjoyable activities and formed a real bond with the teachers. The outdoor space is just perfect too. I can’t recommend the school highly enough.

Overall Experience

We have tried a few different nurseries for our daughter, and nothing comes close to the Norwich Montessori School! Everything about the school is excellent, and it has had a real impact on our daughter, nurturing her curiosity, confidence, compassion and kindness. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Review from Adam L (Father of Child) published on 4 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with how our son is settling in to nursery at the Norwich Montessori. The staff are so welcoming and make every child feel at ease, giving such a focused amount of attention to each and every one. The Montessori method suits him perfectly and is helping him develop his thought and skills even more. We can't speak highly enough about the nursery as a whole and would strongly recommend it to any parent wanting the security of knowing their child is in safe caring hands, with a focus to help them grow and develop in every aspect themselves. There is a real sense of community amongst the staff, children and parents which just adds to the list of positive attributes this nursery provides.

My son loved the Norwich Montessori school, he grew in confidence and helped him become a happy and independent child. The school has excellent teachers who are highly qualified and provide a stimulating and nurturing environment. We would highly recommend the school and are looking forward to our daughter going in September.

Overall Experience

Both my daughters went to this amazing nursery and had the very best experience. I felt so comfortable leaving my daughters in this setting and knew they were getting an incredibly solid educational foundation of learning through their fantastic Montessori ethos. The staff are all amazing, are very child focused and offer a really personalised approach. I highly recommend this nursery to any families who are looking for a very caring and educational setting, where you can be reassured that your child is well nurtured.

Overall Experience

Our daughter attended this wonderful pre-school and our son will start this year. It truly is exemplary. Our daughter settled fast and was encouraged in every aspect of her learning. She is now attending school and we can also say that she was prepared exceptionally well with the independent skills she needed to move into the next phase of her learning. We would highly recommend it to anyone.

Review from J W (Mother of Child) published on 27 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The Norwich Montessori School has given both our children (over the past four years) an amazing foundation from which to begin their educational careers. The school provides a nurturing and personal environment whilst at the same time inspiring independence and autonomy in each of the children.
Communication on our children’s progress and development has been excellent, supplied weekly through tracked learning achievements documented visually and personally annotated through their own individual online portal. This platform is an excellent forum for discussion with the team along with the daily face to face contact at pickup and drop off.

I can not recommend the Norwich Montessori School enough; the children are truly happy in their learning. The care of the school team, educational ethos and sense of community within the setting has given both our children the best possible attitude and outlook as they move onto the next stage of their lives.

Review from C S (Mother of Child) published on 20 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We found this nursery by chance but I cannot thank enough for our luck. My daughter loved the nursery and moved on to a school well prepared. Now my son is attending happily. We are amazed at how teachers there respect and believe children’s abilities and let them explore at their own pace in their peaceful and calm environments indoor and wild and full of adventure outdoors. The events scattered throughout the year are very touching and highlights of nursery days. We can be just there as guests to be hosted by children! Some are organised by parents from worldwide backgrounds to introduce different cultures which are quite intellectual and even interesting for adults.

Review from Salsabil M (Mother of Child) published on 19 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending the Norwich Montessori School since September since 2019. From the moment we went to visit we felt a sense of familiarity and comfort like it was/could be an extension of our home. We didn’t need to visit any more nurseries after that.
My daughter has become so independent and her confidence has grown so much. It’s a wonderful environment and the teachers are very attentive and my daughter speaks very fondly of them.

I can’t recommend this nursery enough.

Overall Experience

Montessori was the perfect nursery for my shy little girl who needed confidence in becoming independent. It was by far the best decision I made for her. She thoroughly enjoyed her time and we were sad to have to leave.

Overall Experience

My son has thrived and been very very happy here. I’m very grateful to have found this wonderful setting. On his last day, he was sad to leave and I said that it wouldn’t be the same returning next year because all the big children wouldn’t be there. His tear-streaked face looked at me and said, “but the teachers will be”. It says it all! Beautiful setting and amazing staff.

Review from Laura E (Mother of Child) published on 18 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Having visited at least 20 different providers and had our kids in 4 different settings, this is by far the best nursery I have come across! All of the staff are fantastic people and superb role models for the children. There is a culture of kindness and respect, and the children engage fully in activities that intrinsically stretch their cognitive abilities. It also has lots of great stuff which is hard to describe or measure - you just need to experience it. This nursery is worth giving up your day job for!

Review from Victoria G (Mother of Child) published on 18 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Three of my sons have attended the Norwich Montessori School. We chose this preschool based on the teaching philosophy and the warm, nurturing environment that greeted us when we came to look around. The preschool has exceeded our expectations and our boys have loved every aspect of the school. The teachers are all wonderful, the setting is great and the children are given lots of opportunities to try different activities. Our boys have particularly enjoyed the lunchtime science, drama and music sessions. We love this preschool and would highly recommend it!

Review from Sarah T (Mother of Child) published on 18 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Oh where to start?! The Norwich Montessori School is such a wonderful setting, providing exceptional pre-school provision for our precious little ones. We looked at a number of settings before choosing this one - but when we walked through the door we instantly knew that this would be a magical place for our daughter to be; how right we were. The Montessori principles are unique but at the core is a gentle and nurturing approach to fostering a love of learning through independence and a respectful and kind attitude to one another. Our daughter has grown in confidence, has found joy in learning and gaining independence and I am so grateful she has had such a fantastic start - from an educational perspective and for life in general. Thank you to all the amazing Montessori teachers for taking such good care of our daughter.

Review from Ling M (Mother of Child) published on 18 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son attended the Montessori and he really loved it. From the moment he first went to visit, he felt so comfortable. I found it to be a wonderful, warm and nurturing environment for him to explore and learn and play at his own pace. There were lots of different activities and resources to engage him, plus the outside space is really lovely. The teachers genuinely care about the children and made my son feel safe and comfortable. The days when he’d happily walk inside and wave goodbye to me, pleased to see everybody again, were really heartwarming and I could walk away knowing he was in good hands. I would highly recommend it!
