The school provides a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment, offering both privately funded places and those supported by government funding. The curriculum incorporates Montessori-inspired learning, alongside various engaging activities, to foster curiosity, creativity, and confidence in young children.
The dedicated team collaborates closely with families to ensure each child feels valued, happy, and well-prepared for their future educational journey. The school is deeply rooted in the Montessori philosophy, emphasising a child-centred approach to learning through experience rather than rote instruction.
Our ethos
Neasden Montessori School adheres to the philosophy that "Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment," as stated by Dr. Maria Montessori. This approach nurtures each child's curiosity, creativity, and confidence through a blend of engaging activities and Montessori-inspired learning.

Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
Parents comment positively about the care and learning their children receive and speak highly of the support provided by staff.
Inclusion & environment
Leaders maintain high expectations for all children, including those receiving support for special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff adapt activities and resources so that children can access learning alongside their peers. Children who receive additional support, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make progress alongside their peers because activities are adapted to meet their needs.
Staff promote children's health and physical development through regular outdoor play. Children benefit from opportunities to develop their strength, balance and coordination as they use outdoor equipment and explore the environment.
Leaders recognise that many children join speaking English as an additional language or with differing early learning experiences. They ensure staff systematically assess children's starting points and use ongoing, sharply focused monitoring to identify emerging needs. Children gradually develop confidence in expressing themselves as they participate in daily play and learning opportunities, making clear progress in communication with consistent language modelling and targeted support.
Neasden Montessori is a wonderful nursery. My son attended for two years before starting reception and my daughter now goes there also. The staff are fantastic, they are so warm, friendly, helpful and professional. The support, encouragement, guidance and affection that they show each and every child is amazing. I could not recommend this nursery more, I am so pleased that I am lucky to have such a fantastic nursery so close to my home, and my children have both learnt and developed so much from their time there.
Read on GoogleI can’t thank the team at this Montessori nursery enough. They are kind, attentive, and truly dedicated to helping every child progress. When my son first started, he could hardly speak, but with their care and support, his language skills have improved so much. The staff are brilliant always polite, patient, and encouraging. They create such a nurturing learning environment and even take the children on wonderful educational trips. My son loved one where he learned all about cavities at just three years old! At first, I was hesitant to send him here while waiting for a primary school place, but now I’m so glad I did. It’s clear this was the right decision, the service they provide goes above and beyond my expectations. I’m deeply grateful to all the staff for their kindness.
Read on GoogleNeasden Montessori School has the outstanding care which they have provided to my children since they joined the nursery. The nursery has played a very important role in their early education. The manager and the staff are so kind friendly, welcoming. The nursery is clean and wide I would like to say thank you for the children’s learning and wellbeing.
Read on GoogleMy children graduated from this preschool 3–5 years ago. Thanks to this preschool, they are now doing very well in primary school. Thank you so much for your hard work and for preparing my children so well for their further education.
Read on GoogleOur son has truly thrived since starting at Neasden Montessori in September 2024. As he prepares to graduate this year, we have seen an incredible transformation in his confidence and academic skills. A special heartfelt thank you to his key worker, Preeti, who has gone above and beyond to support and encourage him every single day. She has been instrumental in his development, helping him immensely with his speech, writing, and learning his phonics sounds. Thanks to her dedicated support, he is now so much better prepared and confident for the move to 'big school.' He constantly mentions how much he loves going and how happy his teachers make him feel. We also want to say a huge thank you to all the staff at the nursery; the environment is so nurturing and the communication is top-notch. The photo updates we receive are amazing and always brighten our day, and the end-of-term booklets are such wonderful keepsakes that show the true care they put into every child. We couldn’t be happier with the foundation he’s received here! Highly recommend this Nursey to anyone :)
