Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended Acton Montessori for the past two years, and we've had a truly wonderful experience. The staff are consistently attentive, caring, and professional - I've always felt completely confident that my daughter was in safe and nurturing hands. Her learning has developed beautifully
during her time here, and we've seen a clear boost in her confidence and independence.

My little one started in January, settling process was over one week and it went smoothly. The manager is very professional and I love how clean the setting is. Staff are also very friendly.
He has since adapted well to the setting and is happy to attend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Thoroughly enjoys herself at Acton montessori. She's been here the past 5 months and staff especially the manager, made settling very smooth sailing.
Within no time she had built a relationship with the staff and peers. Her key worker and all staff are very loving and warm towards the kids. They are
always willing to hear us, while being patient, responding well to our requests and providing frequent feedback on her development and interests.
She receives so much love and encouragement through a different range of activities from playing with sand, art work, role play and circle time. Food is always a variety and one thing that was a bonus for us is finding a nursery that offers halal.
Acton Montessori ethos include inclusivity and this is reflected on their participation in different "world days". We couldn't be happier, it's the right setting for our daughter from cleanliness to how the staff interact and encourage her to thrive in her own pace.
Thank you AM staff

To the Wonderful Team at Acton Montessori Nursery,
As our child prepares to move on to primary school, we want to express our heartfelt thanks for the incredible care, support, and love you've provided over the past three years. Acton Montessori has been more than just a nursery it has been a nurturing,
inspiring, and joyful environment where our child has truly grown. Your dedication, patience, and the warmth with which you welcomed our child each day have made such a lasting impact. The Montessori approach has encouraged independence, confidence, and a genuine love for learning that we see shining in our child today.
We're especially grateful for how you've celebrated each child's individuality, helping them feel valued, supported, and safe. The consistent communication, thoughtful activities, and special moments have made us feel like part of a caring community.
Thank you for creating such a strong foundation for our child, not only academically but emotionally and socially. Thank u

We absolutely love this nursery! The staff are so lovely and caring. The nursery manager is super supportive and always happy to help with anything, which makes such a difference. There are loads of fun and engaging activities every day, and my child is always coming home with something new they've
learned or a story to tell. The range of activities offered is fantastic. There's always something fun, educational, and creative happening.
Since joining, my child has developed so much. We've seen real progress in social skills, communication, and confidence, all thanks to the nursery atmosphere. It's such a relief to know that my child is in safe, loving, and looked after.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Overall we are satisfied
We can recommend it
What they need to improve is the flexibility for the extra session
1 months notice is ridiculous we would expect at least 15 days and in case needs no flexibility for emergency.
No chance to stop the nursery for 1 months without re- pay the initial fee
Ridiculous.

We put our son in the nursery since Jun'23, when he just turned 6 months old. He loves going to the nursery every day and he loves playing with all the staff and the other kids. They have a range of different activities planned every week so my son can get the stimulation that he needs. The staff are
very friendly and there is a good partnership between the staff and us. I like that they give us updates through the app. We're so glad that we made the decision to put our son in this nursery.

My daughter has been going to Acton Montessori Nursery since 02/07/23. The atmosphere in the nursery is very friendly and welcoming. My daughter settled in very easily. She goes to the nursery with great pleasure every morning. My child enjoys learning, playing with her friends, singing, and eating
in the setting. She loves all the staff team and all the kids. Every day I get a lot of photos in the app of how my daughter spent her day.
The nursery manager is a real professional, who loves children and her work very much. She is always ready to help with any issue.
I am very grateful to the team for everything. I would like to add that the value for price is excellent and the food is great.
I would recommend Acton Montessori Nursery to anyone looking for a nursery in the area.
Best wishes!

Acton Montessori has far exceeded our expectations with exceptional education and support. The nurturing environment has fostered tremendous growth in our daughter. The dedicated staff's personalised approach makes a remarkable difference. They keep parents informed with daily updates, including toileting,
meals and activities, through a convenient app. Our daughter learnt potty training with their help. Although the outdoor area is not large, they make up for it by taking children to the nearest park for outdoor activities. Highly recommended!

Review from Mimi C (Mother of Child) published on 13 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My daughter went to this nursery from March to December 2022.
The latest Ofsted report (August 2022) marked this nursery as inadequate in all areas. Most of the year there were staffing issues. Reporting highlighted how the staff didn't engage or talked to the children. Children were left on their
own wandering with little stimulation to learn a language or other skills. The manager has been rude to me on multiple occasions, she's been very defensive and hasn't focused on improving the place or creating a positive relationship with the parents. She's been deflective and unhelpful. The hygiene was described as poor. The report said that staff didn't understand that pulling a young child towards them by one arm could result in injury to the child. We had seen red flags (and communicated them to the nursery) many times but after reading the latest Ofsted report we decided to move. Actually makes my blood boil what I read in that report.

We really love the nursery, they're focusing with our child really well and teaching her a lot! Our child loves going, she even asks to go on weekends. They update us everyday with their meals and send us their weekly activities. We’re so happy and comfortable with them.

Wonderful nursery with wonderful caring staff. They do the most amazing activities with the children. Every child is treated with love and as an individual and the children are so happy there. Kindness and respect are at the heart of everything they do and it shows to me in the happiness and progress
of the children. I love it and have already recommended it to a friend.

Acton Montessori Nursery School is brilliant, the staff are friendly, highly experienced, qualified and passionate about providing a fun, educational, safe setting. They do a lot of varied activities indoors and outdoors. They incorporate the Montessori and Early Years Framework into the day to day
learning. Our daughter has thrived in the setting and we love the daily observations, photos and communication as a parent it's a comfort to see all the fun and learning and happy photos. The nursery fees are reasonable for the area and the nutrition and snacks are always healthy and fresh.

We enjoy especially the Montessori related activities that our daughter seems to learn a lot from.
Special thanks to the staff for making our daughter feel so welcome

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.135)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.135) out of 10 for Acton Montessori Nursery and Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 9 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 4.592 for Acton Montessori Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (87 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.592
  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 4.543 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Acton Montessori Nursery and Pre-School is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 70 number of registered child places is 14. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.643
  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.
