My daughter has attended Acton Montessori for the past two years, and we've had a truly wonderful experience. The staff are consistently attentive, caring, and professional - I've always felt completely confident that my daughter was in safe and nurturing hands. Her learning has developed
beautifully during her time here, and we've seen a clear boost in her confidence and independence.
29 May 2025
My little one started in January, settling process was over one week and it went smoothly. The manager is very professional and I love how clean the setting is. Staff are also very friendly.
He has since adapted well to the setting and is happy to attend.

Thoroughly enjoys herself at Acton montessori. She's been here the past 5 months and staff especially the manager, made settling very smooth sailing.
Within no time she had built a relationship with the staff and peers. Her key worker and all staff are very loving and warm towards the kids. They
are always willing to hear us, while being patient, responding well to our requests and providing frequent feedback on her development and interests.
She receives so much love and encouragement through a different range of activities from playing with sand, art work, role play and circle time. Food is always a variety and one thing that was a bonus for us is finding a nursery that offers halal.
Acton Montessori ethos include inclusivity and this is reflected on their participation in different "world days". We couldn't be happier, it's the right setting for our daughter from cleanliness to how the staff interact and encourage her to thrive in her own pace.
Thank you AM staff

To the Wonderful Team at Acton Montessori Nursery,
As our child prepares to move on to primary school, we want to express our heartfelt thanks for the incredible care, support, and love you've provided over the past three years. Acton Montessori has been more than just a nursery it has been a
nurturing, inspiring, and joyful environment where our child has truly grown. Your dedication, patience, and the warmth with which you welcomed our child each day have made such a lasting impact. The Montessori approach has encouraged independence, confidence, and a genuine love for learning that we see shining in our child today.
We're especially grateful for how you've celebrated each child's individuality, helping them feel valued, supported, and safe. The consistent communication, thoughtful activities, and special moments have made us feel like part of a caring community.
Thank you for creating such a strong foundation for our child, not only academically but emotionally and socially. Thank u

We absolutely love this nursery! The staff are so lovely and caring. The nursery manager is super supportive and always happy to help with anything, which makes such a difference. There are loads of fun and engaging activities every day, and my child is always coming home with something new they've
learned or a story to tell. The range of activities offered is fantastic. There's always something fun, educational, and creative happening.
Since joining, my child has developed so much. We've seen real progress in social skills, communication, and confidence, all thanks to the nursery atmosphere. It's such a relief to know that my child is in safe, loving, and looked after.

Overall we are satisfied
We can recommend it
What they need to improve is the flexibility for the extra session
1 months notice is ridiculous we would expect at least 15 days and in case needs no flexibility for emergency.
No chance to stop the nursery for 1 months without re- pay the initial
fee
Ridiculous.

We have been immensely grateful for the care and support that my son has received during his time at your nursery. The nurturing environment and dedicated staff have played a significant role in his growth and development.
16 May 2024
Very nice activities that develop my child’s skills and abilities. The food is prepared in-house and is fresh, the child eats very well on a daily basis. The caring people. My child walks into the nursery every morning with a big smile.

We put our son in the nursery since Jun'23, when he just turned 6 months old. He loves going to the nursery every day and he loves playing with all the staff and the other kids. They have a range of different activities planned every week so my son can get the stimulation that he needs. The staff
are very friendly and there is a good partnership between the staff and us. I like that they give us updates through the app. We're so glad that we made the decision to put our son in this nursery.
03 May 2024
My daughter has been going to Acton Montessori Nursery since 02/07/23. The atmosphere in the nursery is very friendly and welcoming. My daughter settled in very easily. She goes to the nursery with great pleasure every morning. My child enjoys learning, playing with her friends, singing, and eating
in the setting. She loves all the staff team and all the kids. Every day I get a lot of photos in the app of how my daughter spent her day.
The nursery manager is a real professional, who loves children and her work very much. She is always ready to help with any issue.
I am very grateful to the team for everything. I would like to add that the value for price is excellent and the food is great.
I would recommend Acton Montessori Nursery to anyone looking for a nursery in the area.
Best wishes!

Acton Montessori has far exceeded our expectations with exceptional education and support. The nurturing environment has fostered tremendous growth in our daughter. The dedicated staff's personalised approach makes a remarkable difference. They keep parents informed with daily updates, including
toileting, meals and activities, through a convenient app. Our daughter learnt potty training with their help. Although the outdoor area is not large, they make up for it by taking children to the nearest park for outdoor activities. Highly recommended!
13 January 2023
My daughter went to this nursery from March to December 2022.
The latest Ofsted report (August 2022) marked this nursery as inadequate in all areas. Most of the year there were staffing issues. Reporting highlighted how the staff didn't engage or talked to the children. Children were left on their
own wandering with little stimulation to learn a language or other skills. The manager has been rude to me on multiple occasions, she's been very defensive and hasn't focused on improving the place or creating a positive relationship with the parents. She's been deflective and unhelpful. The hygiene was described as poor. The report said that staff didn't understand that pulling a young child towards them by one arm could result in injury to the child. We had seen red flags (and communicated them to the nursery) many times but after reading the latest Ofsted report we decided to move. Actually makes my blood boil what I read in that report.

My daughter has enjoyed the nursery since day one. The environment is very family friendly, it is like going to a relatives house. The staff is amazing and very supportive. Happy kids and happy parents!
25 March 2021
We are very happy with everything. The staff is very friendly and the kids get plenty of cool activities. We love that they were very accommodating with our son's dietary requirements as we are vegan. Recommended!
23 March 2021
We really love the nursery, they're focusing with our child really well and teaching her a lot! Our child loves going, she even asks to go on weekends. They update us everyday with their meals and send us their weekly activities. We’re so happy and comfortable with them.
19 March 2021
Overall, the staff are very hardworking and their teaching and learning methods imparted to my child, are very effective. I have noticed massive improvements in my child's behaviour and language. I am eternally grateful for the staff's effort and care for my child. Thank you staff of Acton
Montessori Nursery and Pre-school.

Wonderful nursery with wonderful caring staff. They do the most amazing activities with the children. Every child is treated with love and as an individual and the children are so happy there. Kindness and respect are at the heart of everything they do and it shows to me in the happiness and
progress of the children. I love it and have already recommended it to a friend.
11 March 2021
Acton Montessori Nursery School is brilliant, the staff are friendly, highly experienced, qualified and passionate about providing a fun, educational, safe setting. They do a lot of varied activities indoors and outdoors. They incorporate the Montessori and Early Years Framework into the day to day
learning. Our daughter has thrived in the setting and we love the daily observations, photos and communication as a parent it's a comfort to see all the fun and learning and happy photos. The nursery fees are reasonable for the area and the nutrition and snacks are always healthy and fresh.
18 November 2020
I enjoy the daily updates about my daughter. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable about what our daughter did during the day.
We enjoy especially the Montessori related activities that our daughter seems to learn a lot from.
Special thanks to the staff for making our daughter feel so
welcome in the nursery.
