My oldest Son attended this nursery after we realised his previous nursery wasn't challenging and he just wasn't happy there. He loved this nursery and flourished here. His brother and sister attend here now and they also really enjoy it. Such a great environment full of lots of learning activities. Staff are just amazing and very helpful. Great management team too

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!

Our daughter started at the nursery just after turning one, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She absolutely loved going in every day, made lovely friends, and always came home happy and excited to tell us about her day. The teachers were amazing, so caring, patient and supportive and the nursery is run brilliantly by Nazrin, who clearly puts so much effort into creating a warm and positive environment. We were always surprised by how much our daughter was learning and the little things she would suddenly come out with at home. We especially appreciated the attention they gave to helping the children develop good habits and skills early on, even teaching them how to hold a pen properly in such a natural and encouraging way. We’re so grateful for everything the nursery has done for her.
