We joined the nursery in January having had concerns with our previous nursery and the difference was staggering. The staff at Pier Head are incredible and our daughter absolutely loved her time there. Every day our daughter came home she was excited to tell us what she'd been doing and how much fun she'd had and we could see the constant progress as well. We were much more comfortable around class size, food, care and attention and could not recommend more highly.
We're now moving out of London and will very much miss Pier Head - a massive thank you to everyone there!
We joined at the beginning of the year and have had no regrets. Our daughter has really warmed up to the environment and her teachers and mates too. She's also made so much progress in her vocabulary and conversation skills. She's also more social!
Love seeing all the activities they get up to as well.
From our experience with communication/management from our child starting til now there could be room for improvement but otherwise good.
I can only echo what so many other parents have said: this school is everything you could hope for for your child. The staff are kind, gentle, and genuinely care about the children. Our daughter has made remarkable progress since she started there two years ago-in her language, numeracy, understanding of concepts, and dexterity. Children are encouraged to take part in all activities and to socialise with one another, fostering a positive and nurturing environment in which they can thrive. The school's setting is also exceptional, right by the Thames, with a large, secure outdoor space where children can play and explore safely.
The Montessori is amazing. My child absolutely loves it here they come home every day with a smile on their face. There are many like parents most of us being professionals and all the children have bilingual backgrounds. My child speaks Mandarin and Spanish and the school supports us throughout and celebrate all different festivals with parents and the children. I'm so glad I found this Montessori nursery that has amazing views too.
Is wonderful and you will never regret sending your children there
Our son has been attending the nursery since September after his previous nursery unexpectedly closed. We are thrilled to have found Pier Head. The team were immediately warm, friendly and good at communicating with us. The fees are remarkably competitive, especially so given that the class sizes are small. This means that we feel our son is part of a tight knit community rather than a number. He has found a little band of friends in there and enjoys his days and the food on offer. I like seeing pictures of him each day engaging in activities that are stimulating.
This nursery is excellent. The staff genuinely care about our daughter, and the other parents we know have the same experience. When we see our daughter's nursery mates out and about, they all call her name and want her to play with them, which is wild because she is only 15 months old and can just about walk. Some of the children who want to play with her are between two and four years old. You get the sense that not only do they teach and look after the children well, but they also foster friendship and establish community amongst them, which for us is one of the most important lessons we can teach our children.
The classroom is spacious, the stuff is caring and the place itself is spectacular - right at the waterfront.
Honestly, highly recommend.
- Family-owned nursery: The Pier Head is a small structure where the turnover is very low. My eldest attended 5 years ago, and the staff is almost exactly the same. This is extremely positive for the child's experience, as changes in carers can be distressful for children. All staff members are very loving. My daughter loves going there!
- Montessori curriculum: a lot of practical life activities - ideal for this age group! Their routine is also very structured and varied.
- Location: the children are in a very spacious room overlooking the Thames. Lots of daylight coming in, and also a nice garden area where they go all year round and where they can play with equipment and sand/water.
I highly recommend this unique nursery!! My daughter will start school next year, but will be back at Pier Head for the holiday clubs!
We are truly honoured that you stayed with us for so long both children attended school.
You have a fantastic team there, each time my nephew comes home he has a lot of good things to say, and his vocabulary is improving daily. You gave great outdoor and indoor facilities to keep everyone occupied.
A small Montessori school in the heart of London, beautiful surroundings. I am more than happy to leave my child here every day knowing that they receive high standard care and the school provides a strong foundation for both academic and personal growth.
The staff are not only well-qualified but also compassionate, creating a warm and nurturing environment for the children. The facility is is very clean no toys ever look dull always have new toys and activities out , and strict safety measures are in place, ensuring a secure and healthy environment. The curriculum is engaging and age-appropriate, contributing to my child's cognitive, social, and emotional development. The pier head excels in communication, providing regular updates on my child's activities and learning progress. The staff are flexible and accommodating, making it easier for us as working parents. We wholeheartedly recommend Pier Head Nursery for its exceptional care, dedicated staff, and enriching environment. Thank you especially to my child's teachers and all the team for fostering our child's growth and well-being. We are overall very very happy.
Staff kind and welcoming. Nursery clean and children happy when i have visited. Nice mix outdoor and indoor space with water and sand facilities and messy play. Accommodated our hours and responsive with emails.
Great experience so far. Our little one is very happy and loves the nursery. I was impressed with the great professionalism of all the staff. Also the fees are very competitive. Highly recommended!!!!
Our son is very happy at the nursery and we are too! The teachers are all very experienced and they take very good care of the children. Also the hygiene level is very good. We are informed straight away if there is any concern and the communication is great. From the pictures shared I can see that the children are involved in all kind of activities and our son is learning so much! His language skills and motor skills are developing rapidly
We have been attending the school on/off for the past 14yrs as all three of our children attended pre-school since the age of 2. My youngest is the last of all siblings to attend & we are very sad when the day will come that she will need to go off to big school. The school & staff are extremely friendly & is a very nurtured environment. My kids have loved attending Pierhead. The staff make learning fun & enjoyable with themed daily activities. We love receiving photo updates throughout the day, as we can relate to them & discuss the day when they come home, our little one gets very excited to talk about her day. Other nurseries your child feels like just another child on the register, at Pierhead kids are made to feel special & loved, the teachers take into consideration each child's needs & approach them with care & kindness. My kids have fond memories of their early years & love collecting their younger sibling from school & bumping into their old teachers.
My child has been attending this nursery since March. I'm extremely happy with the overall experience, teachers are extremely supportive and friendly also very informative always sending pictures over or different activities that are done daily. They have a lovely outside area for the children to play in which I was looking for.
I cannot recommend Pier Head Prep Montessori School highly enough! My 3-year-old daughter has been attending for some time now, and we are absolutely thrilled with the experience. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed into a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment. The teachers are truly outstanding-patient, caring, and incredibly dedicated to each child's individual development. The Montessori approach they follow is fantastic, allowing children to explore and learn at their own pace while fostering independence, confidence, and curiosity.
So happy you found us! Always glad to offer a one care for children. We truly are located to the children.
I've been so pleased with The Pier Head Montessori for my 3-year-old. The staff is incredibly caring and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming environment that my child loves. I can see how much they've grown in just a short time - not only in terms of learning but also in confidence and independence. The Montessori approach really shines here, with a great balance of structured activities and free play, which encourages my child to explore and learn at their own pace. The communication from the teachers is excellent, and I always feel well-informed about what's going on. Overall, it's a wonderful, nurturing place that I feel really good about for my child's early education. Highly recommend!
