My child has been going to this nursery since he was 9.5 months - he just moved to the Toddlers room. We had a fantastic experience, from settling in to day-to-day nursery routine. Communication with parents is excellent, we are kept up to date about how our son is doing (official comms via the app,
plus informal chats at pickup and drop off). The staff know the children really well, and they look after them with care and respect. My child goes there happily and has learnt a lot of good habits (hand washing, putting things in the bin, wiping his nose and mouth...) and over 100+ words. The schedule (up to 7-7) and proximity to the Tube station are excellent for parents who work in London. Despite the latest Ofsted judgement, this nursery has our trust and support, and I won't hesitate to recommend it.

My daughter has been in this setting from over 2 years. She is very happy here. She is always happy to go to nursery and looks forward to it.
The staff are lovely and she likes all of them and has a lovely relationship with them. I am so happy to have found a nursery where we have never needed to
worry about her. Staff and management were very supportive during potty training too.
We are very happy!

All three of my children have attended this nursery and pre-school and I could not be more pleased with our experience. The teachers are kind, caring and considerate, and it is clear they take great pride in supporting each child's development. The Montessori approach has been invaluable, helping to
prepare my children not only for school but also for the wider world. The Nursery Manager is exceptional and her leadership creates a warm, welcoming, well-organised environment and I'm incredibly grateful. Highly recommend.

boy, we will miss you dearly.

The senior management team have been excellent.
A member of staff in pre-school has been outstanding lead, teacher and key-person towards my daughter. My daughter always had some difficulty during drop-off time, but this member of staff always made sure she settled fast. Her level of care towards
the children is outstanding.
The app has also been very helpful.
Thank you team BarleyMont!

Our son has been at this nursery since 2022, over the last 3 years he has progressed so much, we are so grateful to the staff here. The staff have accommodated our every need, and they have been an integral part of his development.
Our son has formed the most incredible bond with Soma and all the
staff throughout the different rooms he has been in, they will always be remembered as part of his journey.
The manager is always on hand to help and she has helped us alot over the past 3 years on numerous occasions to have our son in on nursery even if they are not his usual days, we are ever so grateful for this, your hard work doesn't go unnoticed!
Thank you for being a part of our journey, our son is ready for school and we cannot thank you enough for all your hard work!

Our daughter has recently graduated from BarleyMont having started when she was 10 months old. She has thrived in the setting and we are so grateful to all of the team there who have worked so hard to not only care for her and support her development but also to keep her entertained and happy,
including through challenging phases (not least lockdown). They go the extra mile to put on thoughtful trips and events for the children, including fantastic Christmas parties and a really lovely graduation ceremony. Thank you BarleyMont team, we think you’re fantastic.

I am a mother of two children who both attended BarleyMont Fairlop Montessori Nursery. My youngest has just graduated this month. This nursery has been fantastic in the growth and development of my children and getting them ready for school. Every single teacher is kind, compassionate and ensure
children's safety is at the heart of what they do every single day. Any issues or concerns are addressed with progression and compassion. My children loved attending this nursery each day and I always recommend it to other parents I know. Thank you to all the staff for everything you have done for my children.

My son was really very happy in this nursery. He went on all 5 days and they were very few days he was sad. He always wanted to go to nursery to meet his friends and the staff present. All the caretakers were kind, caring and responsive. Thanks to everyone who participated in his happy moments in
the nursery.

Best nursery! Very friendly and professional staff, thank you to two particular members of staff for being so kind to my son. He really made big progress with you, he was very shy at the beginning but with your support, he made big progress. Thank you very much for looking after our little boy!
Highly recommend this nursery!

We are very happy to have found this nursery, not only is the staff friendly but the manager is very attentive and friendly. She is always very helpful and solves any queries you might have.
The staff take care of my daughter amazingly and my daughter loves her teachers. She loves going to nursery
which leaves you with peace of mind whilst you are working, which is priceless. Would definitely recommend it.

We joined the nursery in January 2020 and both of my children have been attending. The flexibility of opening hours and the flexibility of the staff and management team to meet the last-minute needs of working parents has been amazing. My daughter is now in reception and every time we pick up my son
it still feels like home. Montessori education is fantastic! Only one thing, 12 hours counts as a day is tough when you attend 8 hours and aim for a free week of 30 hours, but flexibility does have a cost! We love it there!

Staff are friendly to approach and answer questions patiently.

We couldn't ask for a better nursery for our son. The staff are so genuine, kind, hard-working and the care for each child in their care. Our son loves going and has grown so much developmentally since joining. We have already recommended the nursery to new parents looking to return to work.
