Amazing nursery, my children have always loved their time there. Miss Maryam and Molly are amazing practitioners who genuinely care about the children, and always put them first. Great facilities and activities, would highly recommend.

We've been sending our child to M&M for almost a year. We were apprehensive given he'd never attended nursery before, but they immediately made him comfortable and he loved it straight away, he's sad on the days that he can't attend now! The team are attentive to every child's needs and they've been exceptional in communicating with me and my partner over that period, they certainly go the extra mile. We'll be using them again in future!

I had the pleasure of enrolling my child at Montessori & Me, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere put us at ease. The staff here are exceptional - caring, dedicated, and highly skilled in early childhood education. Safety and cleanliness are top priorities here, and it's evident in the well-maintained facilities and the stringent health protocols in place. I always felt confident that my child was in a secure environment. Communication with the staff has been excellent. They keep parents informed about their child's progress and daily activities, fostering a strong sense of partnership between parents and the nursery. Thank you to all the staff at Montessori & Me for all that you do! I definitely recommend this nursery to other parents!

My children have been attending Montessori & Me since they first opened in 2018. I have had nothing but a pleasant experience. My children love the nursery and staff. They are happy and excited to go every day. We also use there holiday club which is fantastic. The nursery is exceptionally clean, decorated beautifully, well resourced and looks and feels light and airy. The staff and management go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and part of the family. They also have have a fantastic app where you get updates of what the children have been doing and there progress which is lovely to see. I would highly recommend this nursery to everyone I know. My older 2 went to 2 of the other best nurseries in Redbridge from my research and I can honestly say there is truly no comparison!! If you want nothing but the best for your child, which most of not all parents do the Montessori & Me will be for you!

My son started at the nursery January 2020 and has developed so well since then. He has developed great relationships with the amazing key workers as well as his peers. He is now in the toddler room and absolutely loves nursery and is always talking about his key workers and friends. The nursery staff are great and put my mind to ease, I was quite emotional going back to work after maternity leave but the nursery staff are happy for you to contact them several times throughout the day. November 2021 update: My son is continuing to go from strength to strength and his little brother will be joining in the new year.
