Children have access to a large garden, which supports their physical development. Staff carefully supervise children as they climb, run and jump, helping them understand how to be safe and manage risk.
Montessori Moments is a wonderful nursery. Our son created wonderful memories there, flourished and had such an amazing time every day. The staff is genuinely kind and so lovely with the kids. Our son absolutely adored everyone. The space is great and the fact that the kids are being taken out to the local library and the local park is just great. Highly recommended!
Read on GoogleWe couldn’t be happier with Montessori moments Charlton! Our daughter has made such wonderful progress since starting here – not just academically but in their confidence and independence too. The staff are incredibly attentive and genuinely care about each child’s development, which makes such a difference. The setting itself is beautiful – the building and surroundings create such a calm and inspiring atmosphere for learning. We feel so lucky to have found this place! Will be very sad when my daughter has to leave for big school.
Read on GoogleI can't speak highly enough about Montessori Moments. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. Our son had previously struggled in other nursery settings, however moving him here he settled in so quickly and has been so happy there. The staff are great at keeping us uptodate through the app and in person providing updates throughout the day. The facilities and outside space are great and they often take the children outside the main nursery to charlton park, whose grounds it's located in which really gives the children a variety of activities. I know our son is happy and safe whilst here and would highly recommend it.
Read on GoogleWe have had our son at Montessori Moments since it first opened and his development has really come on in leaps and bounds through attending the nursery. The staff are dedicated, friendly and caring and the setting and location provide so many opportunities to explore and play both in the nursery in and outside and the surrounding grounds. The care, learning and programme of activities is tailored to the interests of the child and the communication with the nursery through both an app, by email and face to face is brilliant. You feel you know exactly what sort of day your child has had. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Montessori Moments to anyone in the area who is looking for a tailored and child led nurturing environment.
Read on GoogleMy daughter has attended this nursery for nearly a year now. I have been so impressed with how much my daughter has come on; not only academically but emotionally too. A clear, sequential curriculum aligned with the early learning goals has enabled this. The safeguarding is outstanding and the communication brilliant. Set in a stunning location in Charlton House, Montessori Moments has equipped my daughter to thrive in an almost village-esque setting. This is what sets this nursery apart from the other 'chain' nurseries. The adults really care about my daughter: she regularly comes home to tell me about all of the wonderful activities she has been able to take part in. Including baking, sports, painting, building etc. She has been set up magnificently, in line with the early learning goals, to move into reception. The only negative is she will have to be leaving soon to go to 'big school'! Thank you to the team at Montessori Moments- you all are changing lives for the better.
