My daughter attends with the biggest smile on her face everyday! Incredible nursery with amazing staff. You can see and feel the love from everyone that works here.
They are really engaging with our daughter and care for her like one of their own, it’s so reassuring to know she’s safe and happy.
I
honestly can’t praise or recommend this nursery highly enough.

This nursery is incredible! The teachers are caring, dedicated and inspiring, the building is very homely and light, and the garden is huge and idyllic. Our daughter has experienced and enjoyed all seasons in it, from water play in the summer, to discovering a hedgehog waking up from his winter's hibernation,
and den building in autumn. As a European parent, I felt that the school was very encouraging and inclusive when it comes to different cultures, languages and nationalities. Our daughter would go to the school Monday-Friday, from 9am to 3pm and has always looked forward to it. We have always received accurate information on her developments and assistance if needed. The whole school ethos is children-centered and everyone strives to grow the natural talents and interests of every individual child. Every parent I speak to feels the same about this school and would recommend it thoroughly!

Our family moved to this area this year, and feel so lucky to put my son in Riverside Montessori. The teachers and staff are truly amazing, kind, and very supportive. Honestly, I was a bit worried in the beginning as my son is not a native speaker, but the teachers gave me confidence and showed me their
patience. During these months in the nursery, I can see my son has grown and learned so much, he becomes more confident and more independent. Our family is extremely grateful for that.

My daughter has been going to Riverside Montessori for almost a year now and I am absolutely thrilled at the experience she’s had. The teaching staff are incredible, the weekly forest school seems like so much fun and I can see how much my daughter loves learning as a result of her experience. It’s
a truly special place and I only wish they offered places beyond age five!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We looked at most of the nurseries in the St. Margarets and Twickenham area when we moved into the area last summer but always felt that something was missing. A lot of the nurseries were very rigid on their settling in (or should I say lack of) approach which put us off given our daughter was born
just before the pandemic and is quite shy and anxious by nature. Many had a high staff turnover or seemed to be run by staff who lacked enthusiasm. A few lacked or had no outside space. When we visited St. Margaret's Montessori we were bowled over by the energy of the people who work there, the wonderful setting including the amazing garden, and of course the Montessori principles which we knew would suit our curious and inquisitive daughter. What we didn't realise at the time was just how nurturing, caring, patient and flexible they would be. I feel so happy that she is in such great hands.

Review from Farah S (Mother of Child) published on 4 November 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely wonderful nursery, with equally wonderful headteacher and key workers, who are very caring, nurturing, and genuinely interested in my son's development. The nursery offers an impressive array of learning facilities, tools, and subject areas to expand the little one's mind to new, exciting
things. I feel that being at Riverside has really bought out my son's inquisitive side and often comes home curious about the things he has learned that day, such as how volcanoes work (at the age of three and a half!). What I also love about the nursery is the amazing garden and the encouragement of engaging with nature at a young age. A magical nursery, one that I would highly recommend to any family.

The staff at St Margaret’s Montessori are an inspirational bunch of role models.
My daughter has the most fun when she is at nursery. She fully engages with the Montessori activities and her enthusiasm is nourished as the teachers follow her lead, pursuing her individual interests alongside her.
Last
term, parents were invited in for an afternoon giving the children an opportunity to show us their classroom and demonstrate some of their activities. Personally, a highlight was seeing the pride, care and respect the children have for their environment and equipment.
Through membership of this special community, my four-year-old knows how to interact with other children and adults, how to express herself and be understood. From the stories I hear about her nursery day, it’s clear she knows what’s fair, inclusive, polite and generous, and that she strives for these qualities in herself.

The staff are wonderful, nurturing, smiley and enthusiastic. The nursery provides a home-from-home experience for my little girl who has so much fun exploring the various indoor activities as well as the natural world outside in the lovely rear garden. She has really flourished from being at the nursery
and that’s thanks to the highly skilled staff who have a very bespoke approach to bringing out the best in each child. Forest school is a real winner too - I keep telling her how lucky she is to experience it each week! It’s the most wonderful start to her independent life away from home.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.982)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.982) out of 10 for Riverside Nursery Schools, St Margarets 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.982 for Riverside Nursery Schools, St Margarets Montessori is calculated as follows: ( (217 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 221 Ratings = 4.982
  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 Riverside Nursery Schools, St Margarets Montessori is based on 19 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 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 19 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.

Job Title: Head Educator

Welcome to St Margarets Montessori!


The best way I can describe St Margarets Montessori Nursery School is using the Zulu word, ‘Ubuntu’. A word to express the understanding of human interdependency and connectedness. It is a celebration of the wonders of our diversity, encouraging each individual to live their full potential and see the potential in others.


Ubuntu is evident in our dedicated team, always ready to support each other, to create the best possible community environment for our children and their families to join.


The Montessori philosophy is closely linked with this same understanding, called the Cosmic Education. Respecting that each child is important as an individual, but that all of these individuals are interlinked with each other, and nature as a whole.


In our rich and very carefully prepared school environment, the children are encouraged to explore, discover, question and reflect. Curiosity leads them to engage and learn, to keep probing deeper, to develop their concentration and an inquisitive mind. Leading them to love learning and become learners for life; confident and aware of their importance.


We are so fortunate to have a large garden that the children can enjoy every day, whatever the weather! On a daily basis, they experience their connection with nature, learning their essential role in the balance of our common home. This is supported through Forest School as well as being part of the Eco School.


We don’t only connect the children to the natural world but also to the world in which they live, helping them to feel part of the wider community. Walks to the shop and library, helping our neighbours and visiting our local Care Home via our Intergenerational Project with BRIGHTER TOGETHER, all foster strong relationships with our local community.


Our family is always growing, and we would love to invite you to come and see what we are all about.
