I see a lot of improvement in my son after going to this nursery. He behaves well and helps in housekeeping. He enjoys going to this nursery and especially the company of the Manager
I am observing that my son eats proper meals at home regularly. Before he used to eat snacks only.

My child was excited to go to the nursery every single day. Great care and learning for kids. Transparency was maintained and we used to get detailed feedback from the team on my child's activities. Also, hygiene was given a top priority and the food served was liked by my child. Also, the team helped
to teach my child to eat food by herself which was very useful when she started school. Overall Excellent Experience. Well done team!

They have lovely and caring staff, We are very happy with the overall progress of my daughter and fresh veg food is given to kids which was our main requirement. Management can be improved a little but otherwise it's the best and most trustworthy nursery.

Since our daughter has started at Learning World, we have really noticed her development and growth. She had become more independent, and has good habits. She has been learning a lot and can see the results at home. The manager and the team are friendly and nice. We are very happy to see all the creativity
in the artwork and craft she brings back home. She loves going there, and we'll have our youngest son go when he's a bit older. We feel our daughter is in safe hands and can't recommend it enough. Thank you.
Reply from Nikki, Manager at Learning World Montessori
Thank you for the lovely feedback! We are glad that your child is going through a great transformational journey at our nursery. Sincerely appreciate the feedback about our staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We chose Learning World Montessori initially because we love the size, optimal such that our little one would get enough time with the teachers individually but also big enough to interact with other children. We liked the home-style environment and garden too. But we soon discovered that it’s much
more than that, our little one loves going there, he would come home singing songs he learned and bringing artwork that he did. He would mention the classes he attended like musical bumps and football with the coach. We also like that they tailored the schedule to suit the individual child. The teachers are friendly and knowledgeable. We are delighted to have our little one attending Learning World Montessori.

We had a very good experience in this Montessori. My kid learned so many things there. He has done a lot of activities in that nursery. This is one of the best nurseries. Good staff and clean environment. Caring for the kid is very good. And they gave healthy food. The management was very good.

It was a good learning experience for my son. He joined when he was two years two months old and was a little speech delayed. The manager and her team did good work. Their teaching structure is quite impressive. My son picked up quite well and enjoyed his stay. The manager understands each child’s requirement
and works accordingly. Their daily activities help my child in developing various skills. Keep doing a good job!

Review from J X (Father of Child) published on 23 February 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter joined Learning World Montessori when she was around two and a half years old. We moved her from a popular nursery based in South Croydon so that she could get individual attention. We were drawn to Learning World Montessori because of its Montessori ethos. After our initial meeting with
the Manager, we were highly impressed by her passion towards children’s overall development via the Montessori principles.
During our daughter’s time at nursery, we have seen her develop into an adventurous young girl who is not only confident and articulate but also keen to explore her surroundings and enthusiastic to learn by experience.
There are many cool activities which the nursery organises that has been beneficial both for our daughter and us. Some of them are - celebrating world festivals (useful to inculcate various cultures in our children), sports day, day outings (animal farm), nature day, park days, practical lifecycle of a butterfly, Zumba, session, football session, and parent teacher meetings, etc.
Amazing App too.

I am very happy to come across 'Learning World Montessori'. The nursery provides a great environment for little kids, full of respect and happiness. I can go to work in peace knowing that my little one is happy and safe.


The only thing that needs to be added is more reports on what an individual

child is learning with more pictures on app. Parents would love to see this weekly.


Keep up your great work.
Thanks.

Learning World Montessori provides a great atmosphere for kids to play and learn. My son went to this nursery when he was between three and four years and loved every bit about being there. Great facilities for children learning various skills while they play and have fun. The best part was him wanting
to go and meet his newly found friend Burfee (the rabbit) every day and feed him the carrots. Caring for nature and animals was another aspect he learnt quite early at Learning World Montessori.

My son attended the Nursery for twelve months before starting reception year of school. The Manager and the staff did a great job and my son talked fondly about them and the activities they did during the day.
We received daily updates of what he had been learning and doing each day and the food he
ate during the day which is all fresh and home cooked and very tasty by all accounts. When I asked him who's food he prefers, ours or the Managers, he always said the Managers!!
The children do some really great activities with an emphasis on the Montessori method which is fantastic and just what we wanted for our little boy. He impressed me with some of the things he told me that he'd learnt at nursery and brought home some great artwork from his activities.
Overall we were very happy we chose this nursery and it set our son up really well for school. I would recommend it to anyone, especially if you would like your child to develop using true Montessori teachings.

Very good Montessori Nursery. My kid learnt a lot after going to the nursery especially I should say the staff took a lot of care in making sure the kids are comfortable and they are learning something new. We love the extra activities the nursery provides especially musical bumps and football. Thanks,
everyone. Please keep up the good work. My sincere heartfelt thanks to the staff who work so hard in pre-schooler room and toddler's room.

I'm extremely pleased about the education my son is getting at Learning World Montessori. Ever since he started, his speech has improved immensely. The teachers are absolutely amazing and make my son feel part of a community, and he loves the activities that have been set out. They provide fresh food
every day to ensure the nutritional needs for every child. I strongly recommend this school.

Whatever I write here won't be enough to justify how wonderful and nurturing this nursery is for our little ones, and to provide them that loving atmosphere in the most important early days of their lives. My daughter was the first child to join Learning World Montessori at the age of 13-months. Just
by meeting the manager, seeing the set-up, her knowledge and confidence, and most importantly, her genuine love and eagerness to bring the best out in every child just pulled me towards her. My daughter attended till 4-years and still wants to go back! The strong foundation Learning World Montessori provided to my daughter has helped her a lot in staying ahead of other kids in her class. The beautiful and nurturing environment provided has helped her build her personality in every dimension. Every day I used to drop my daughter to nursery, I knew she is safe, loved, enjoying and is well looked after. Fresh food, natural activities, fun/birthday parties, transparency, and cleanliness are some of the many excellent things at Learning World Montessori. I would highly recommend it.

Happy children, Happy Mom! Kids look forward to going there every day which means happy mornings for the family. The staff here ensures that the kids are busy with a lot of different activities including reading and phonics. The staff also helps and encourages the kids to be as independent as possible
which helped immensely when my kids started school. We didn't have any settling-in issues when starting school. Highly recommend this childcare setting.

One of the best nurseries in South Croydon! And it’s even better- Montessori!


Learning Worlds Montessori is the best! After the unsuccessful transition from our family home to another well-known nursery, we finally had a breath of fresh air after meeting the Manager. Our son instantly loved her

and the setting. We feel his development has improved drastically and his communication skills and confidence has flourished only after a couple of weeks of attending the setting.


The Manager has always been very responsive and understanding to us parents. This gave us the tap on the shoulder we needed.


The setting is beautiful and there are plenty of opportunities to explore different activities.


I wish more parents knew about this hidden gem in the heart of South Croydon!


We will be forever thankful to the Manager and all the staff for their warm welcoming of our little boy. He feels like Learning World Montessori is his second home.

Highly recommended!!


Very welcoming and friendly staff, a safe and secure environment for kids. They offer lots of activities like singing, football, yoga etc. My daughter loves going to her nursery and insists to go even on weekends we too. The food is prepared fresh and my daughter says “it’s Yummy!!!”


I will definitely recommend this place to all parents who wish to send their child to a homely space where they are looked after well and a lot of importance is given to their mental and physical development.


A very happy father of a very happy little princess

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.891)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.891) out of 10 for Learning World Montessori 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 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 4.991 for Learning World Montessori is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.991
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Learning World Montessori 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 25 number of registered child places is 5, which has been reached with 9 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.
