Inspector highlights
Our son has been at Montessori Garden since he was 7 months old and he has really thrived there. He’s had wonderful friends and great support from the teachers who do really inventive stuff with the kids. The Montessori method seems to make for a calm environment and encourages independence, which suits our child well. It’s a special place where there is clearly a lot of love. And the food is amazing!

Our son had a wonderful experience at this nursery. He started at 4 months old and loved it as soon as he joined, creating a strong bond and trusting relationship. His head teacher Cristina was amazing with him from the start as well as all the other early year assistants and teachers. We loved that she spoke to him in Spanish (same as at home) and particularly that she set goals for him from the start such as exposing him to different textures, helping him develop strong neck and shoulder muscles by doing more tummy time, and eventually sitting up. In addition, all the staff is very good at communicating. The nursery uses the app famly to stay in touch with day-to-day queries and patterns (food/sleep/diaper changes) but also to give weekly updates on the group activities as well as personal child development. It's fantastic as it shows you how well your child is progressing and how much fun he is having. Montessori Garden Nursery is great at conducting activities for all ages, our son was able to contribute to all activities from the start (even to the smallest extent as he was the youngest around at first) which satisfied his curiosity and made him feel part of a team early on. The children go in the garden twice a day to take some fresh air, thanks to this I've really witnessed in my son a new appreciation of the outdoors. Moreover, as soon as our son started eating solids, he was able to be exposed to the wonderful dishes MGN's cook prepares. It developed his pallet and appreciation of different foods and flavors, as well as dexterity. He loved everything except for beetroot! Lastly, we really appreciate the daily reports at drop off as well as the parent-teacher talks and organized parents' events (mother's day breakfast, picnics etc). Overall a fantastic nursery with passionate and caring staff and management, which I truly recommend.

Brilliant Nursery Setting. Teachers are engaged, caring and knowledgeable. Little ones have tons of fun, and are encouraged to explore and develop in a friendly environment. Our kid grew from a barely walking toddler into a little man in his years there. We couldn't be happier with the service he got, and would definitely recommend Montessori Garden to any parent looking for outstanding childcare around Kentish Town / Tufnell Park.

Our son has attended nursery at MGNS for almost one year since he was 1.5 years old. The teachers and the management team were welcoming, engaged, caring, and supportive. When he was in the settlement process, I stayed with him in the nursery for some time. I saw that all children were calm, happy, and well behaved in the setting. Our son also settled smoothly: now he eats well, sleeps well, makes friends, and learns new things every day. He likes hugs and receives a lot of hugs every day. It is like another home to him. Some other special features: 1) warm and diverse food prepared from their kitchen, which our son likes very much 2) when the weather is nice, they went to the nearby parks/ playground/ hampstead heath, animal farm, local library, and even a fire station! (I know some nurseries do not take children
