The Grove Montessori

and trips to museums, shops, parks, library, train station and more. Children are exposed to various cultures and languages and gain real life skills. You can tell that the staff genuinely enjoy working with children and really care about them as individuals. Even staff who don't directly work with my children know their names. Management work very hard. They have created a collaborative parent-nursery culture, inviting parents to be part of activities, providing resources for home learning and holding a regular parent forum. They are receptive to feedback and always striving to improve. My children are so settled and happy at The Grove and growing in confidence all the time. Highly recommend it!

us as we support our child's choices and independent learning. In addition, the food is high quality, no preservatives and cooked on site. The costs are high, but it does include everything needed each day (food, nappies, lots of resources, weekly yoga teacher, etc) alongside expert teachers. I would recommend visiting this nursery to see the lovely building and staff.

ready for school due to the well-planned curriculum. Forest School and a range of trips into central London have been highlights. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to another parent.

with regard to child development. My child has thrived.
If there are issues, management are swift to respond with meetings, parent evenings and feedback forums. Plans to implement things for the better are quickly put in place.

and have experience with two other nurseries. I am a governor of a primary school.

I have had a grandchild in each room at The Grove and their experiences have been very different. The staff are amazing, they work incredibly hard, they know the children well and are passionate about the work they do! The management is positive, passionate, open, transparent and genuinely want to listen to stakeholders if there are any concerns, observations or areas to improve. They listen, reflect and take appropriate action.

My grandchildren are very happy, they love the staff, have appropriate relationships and have made progress in relation to learning and their social development.

are highly trained Montessori practitioners and the care and passion they have for the children are palpable. The range of activities seems endless. This week the children were taken in small groups to China Town to learn about Lunar New Year. They are constantly surrounded by interesting learning opportunities and, at nearly four, my son can have such intelligent conversations. The nursery is incredibly well managed and the staff turnover is very low, which I think says a huge amount as it's rare in this industry. They have weekly forest school sessions, visit the local shops and library regularly and learn about their environment and community. My son is so happy there.

each room has had long-term permanent staff who have been there from the start which is wonderful for the children for attachment and support. I would also add that the temporary staff that have been used are also regulars and I have found them to be lovely and of high quality. My son is very happy at the nursery and has excelled in his development since joining, I feel happy leaving him there each day knowing he is safe and loved. The facilities are new and to a high standard which is an added bonus. I would highly recommend

all the activities they do he really has learnt so much from being at The Grove. His speech has really come on. Thank you to The Grove, I really appreciate all you have done for him.

them and use alternative childcare which has been the best decision for our family.
I am very curious/concerned there are no other reviews. We attended this setting for 2 years from opening.
