Ladybird Montessori School

We love Ladybird Montessori, our son thoroughly enjoyed his time there and it has set him up to enjoy the next phase of his school life. The teachers are warm and nurturing and have created a wonderful atmosphere for early years development. The classes are small which means the teachers really get to know the children and their individual personalities. Ladybird has both indoor and outdoor spaces including a very special forest school, (which was our son's favourite session). As a parent, you feel very involved with your child's school life and we loved viewing the photos taken by the staff, shown periodically on the school app. We are looking forward to our daughter attending ladybird when old enough. In conclusion, we would have no hesitation in recommending Ladybird Montessori School.

Our daughter attended 2021 to 2022. She (and we) loved it!

The quality of the teaching and caring is fantastic and we felt safe leaving our daughter at Ladybird each day. Our daughter grew in confidence and independence as a result of her time at Ladybird, helping her to be ready for her next steps and into schooling .

Thank you Ladybird Montessori School

All 3 of my children have attended Ladybird Montessori and thoroughly enjoyed their time there. It's a boutique nursery which offers a unique blend of warm, nurturing care with a varied and robust Early Years curriculum. The small classes mean that activities are tailored to each individual child and the staff have in-depth knowledge of all their developmental skills and milestones. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces have a wide range of activities as well the very special Forest school. The staff are warm, caring, and approachable and we couldn't have been happier with the care given to our children. I highly recommend Ladybird Montessori.

Brilliant Montessori nursery with forest school facilities on site. Brilliant staff, individual approach to children. Fantastic concerts. Parents mobile app. Friendly and safe environment! Will highly recommend!

All members of staff are very friendly and warm. A very small number of children (two groups, blue and red group, 3-5 years and younger) so all staff knows them and their names too.

Very beautiful classroom and playground, tons of toys, changing often introducing new and what this best is they have a back yard for forest nursery. So they don't need to go to the park etc, they invite specialists for forest nursery and kids enjoy and learn lots of things.

Pick up and drop off time parking street is no issue at all.

You have to prepare a snack and if you want your child to attend the afternoon session, you have to prepare the lunch but due to that price is also friendly than others.

Their curriculums are also good. They nowadays have Italian, art and science clubs for the afternoon!

It is a very healthy and nurturing environment that allows every child to thrive. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery.

We absolutely love Ladybird Montessori.

The staff and the warm and wonderful atmosphere they create through how attentive and thoughtful they are makes this nursery stand out. They go out of their way to help the children and are very proactive about addressing any queries/questions we have asked.

We love both the outdoor areas and in particular the forest school element and our child is clearly very happy there.

Overall, we couldn't be happier with the way our child has settled in which is due to the nurturing environment. We look forward to our younger children attending when they are old enough too.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

Ladybird Montessori School is an amazing nursery which both of my children attended. My daughter (now 8 years old) and my 3 year old son both have started at Ladybird and have really enjoyed their time there. My kid's first language is Russian and at the time of starting school, they could not speak a word of English which made the settling in time a bit longer than average. However, with the professional and kindest guidance from the teachers, all staff support and dedication both kids would not only happily run to school, but picked up and started speaking English in no time. Ladybird has a real sense of family and has a dedicated approach to each pupil, the teachers are caring and attentive, kind and fun. I would also like to praise the leadership of the principal who is consistently improving the school and introducing an incredibly exciting learning curriculum and activities like Forest School, music and various club. As a parent, I am incredibly grateful to everyone at Ladybird and would recommend.

Since day one, our daughter has loved Ladybird. The staff are amazing, always smiling and happy to chat and she has the best time there. It’s small enough that they get wonderful one-to-one attention but just big enough that she has such fun playing with all her friends. She has come on leaps and bounds since she started. It’s a well-kept secret in Highgate but I can’t recommend it highly enough. She walks in with a smile every day (and even gets a little sad on the weekend when we tell her there’s no school today!)

A warm, caring and friendly environment - definitely a kind of home, from home! The staff go out of their way to show kindness to the children. My son loves attending Ladybird and adores his teachers. The learning environment is structured. The routines in place have been very beneficial for my son, whose confidence in his own abilities has grown since attending. He loves Forest school as well as the outdoor space. Music classes are also a particular favourite!
