My son joined 3 months ago Papillon 1 . He has never been happier heading to this nursery, drop-offs are such a joy now, no more tears! The heartwarming environment they create is just wonderful. As joined a couple of months ago and the improvement he's shown is excellent. Their curriculum is a game-changer; his confidence, language, communication, problem solving, manners-everything's improved massively. Every team member, especially Ms Faiza, Ms Deepthi, Ms Sheena and the rest of the team is fantastic and so supportive. The beautiful outdoor play area feels close to nature, picturesque and safe, while indoors, cosy corners and art zones keep things engaging. We also get constant, clear updates on home tips, communication's spot on and we couldn't be more happier for our son. Big thank you so much Papillon team !!!

The best PreSchool for early foundation of children. I can’t recommend enough Papillon Montessori 1 (Headstone Lane) to the parents looking out for a preschool. My daughter went there for summer term as we recently moved in the area. The teachers here are warm, affectionate and within no time they made her feel welcome. From the very beginning, they took out the time to understand my daughter and focus on her personality and the areas they felt she needed support in before starting school. The curriculum is very well planned and engages children with a variety of activities including French class, dance, painting, outdoor visits and event days. The school is ideally located few minutes from the station, a walk overlooking beautiful farm and a historical cricket ground which children love to play around. I am grateful to Ms. Faiza, Ms. Deepthi and Ms. Sheena for giving my daughter the best care and support throughout the term.

🌟 5-Star Review for Papillon Montessori (Hatch End & St Mary’s Cricket Club) 🌟 Both of my children attended Papillon Montessori—one at Hatch End and the other at St Mary’s Cricket Club—and I couldn’t be happier with the care they received. The staff are warm, patient, and truly understand how to support each child individually. What stood out to me most was how consistent and patient the staff are, even when children face challenges. Mrs Faiza and Mrs Deepti have been so supportive and kind—not just to my children but also to me as a parent. I always felt heard, reassured, and genuinely cared for. Thank you for giving both my children such a positive and confident start! A very thankfull and happy parent !

My son went to Papillon Montessori Pre School (1) for one term as we recently moved to the area. The staff is incredibly caring and attentive to children needs. My son settled in less than a week. Staff is always smiling and welcoming and they treat each child with so much love and care. Nursery environment is very nurturing and makes the kids feel like home. They have variety of structured activities to keep kids busy and active. Nursery is inside the cricket fields providing children a big open space to run around. I would highly recommend this place.
