November

Our daughter has been at Montpelier for 18 months and is absolutely thriving. She joined not long after turning 2 and had never been to nursery before. I was apprehensive at how well she would settle in because of this. I needn’t be. The staff have been amazing from day 1. They have really taken the time to get to know my daughter. Her keyworker in particular is fantastic.

Additionally, the garden is such a wonderful play space and such a rarity in London.

We’re incredibly happy with Montpelier and have recommended to friends.

Our little girl Ela is so happy at Montpelier, and we couldn’t imagine a better nursery for her. We looked around the nursery when she was still a baby, and we knew immediately that it was the right place for us. The staff were welcoming and answered all our questions, and every single member of staff came to say hi to Ela.

When Ela started at nursery she took a few weeks to settle in, and the team were incredibly kind and gentle with her, allowing her lots of time and giving plenty of cuddles to help her feel secure. Now she runs straight in to play and looks forward to seeing the staff and her friends.

The children have open access to the beautiful garden, and Ela loves spending her days playing outside, painting and listening to stories. The staff know her well and clearly enjoy playing with her and the other children. Her social skills and learning have come on leaps and bounds since she started nursery, due to the focus on learning through play.

At the end of the day, we get a thorough handover of how the day has gone, and there is a newsletter showing pictures of all the fun she’s had each week.

We would strongly recommend the nursery to anyone looking for a place. Thanks so much to all the team at Montpelier!

“My son Andre started at the nursery when he was 2, being very shy and quiet didn’t mix much, but am so impressed with the staff they have really worked hard, they have been a delight in my sons transition always keeping me up to date with his progress, their attention to details is fantastic, Andre has made friends and he’s always excited to go into the nursery, Andre was a fussy eater when he started now he asks for seconds, we were so impressed that my son now goes in three times a week. I’ve been blown away by the support and love my son has received at Montpelier. He was changing nurseries at the same time as we moved house and had a new baby and the wonderful staff at Montpelier really looked after him. It’s a really fun place with a lovely feeling in the room and outside. I wouldn’t want him anywhere else.”

“I have loved Montpelier nursery. They have been brilliant with my two little munchkins and would 100% recommend it. The staff are amazing and very friendly. I will be sad to see my children leave…but the staff have been amazing in making sure they are ready for their next journey for big school. I would like to say a huge thank you to all the staff at Montpelier for making myself and my children’s experience there a very very happy one.”

“Montpelier Nursery is a fantastic place for children to learn, have fun and make new friends. On my sons first day I was incredibly nervous as many, if not all parents are, however I needn’t have been as the staff are kind, caring and attentive towards all the children. I was also impressed by way all the children greeted each other and played so nicely. Some of the key characteristics that swayed me into choosing this nursery were the friendly and experienced staff, the fact that all children play together in one big space rather than separate rooms, the space that is available is light and airy and of course the well-equipped garden for the children to play in. My son loves it here and looks forward to going every day. He regularly talks about the activities that he takes part in and the friends he has made at Montpelier, I am so pleased that I chose this nursery for all the reasons listed above and many more!”

“The Montpelier nursery has offered our daughter a very happy environment during the last year and a half. When I come to pick her up at around 5pm, I often find myself standing just outside the big sliding glass door to the garden for some minutes watching the children run, jump and climb, ride some tricycle around the circular parkour, sliding down the fireman’s pole or playing some role game under the story house. Often there would be one of the teachers chasing them, playing football or running with a self-made kite with them. Just like the craft activities in the mornings, everything looks spontaneous to my eyes: the group of children participating here or there varies and the children seem to choose what they do and look beautifully engaged. And I have not seen a child in need for comfort left on alone; it would very quickly pick up by the nearest teacher. I really enjoy these minutes of watching so much contentment!”

“Joining Montpelier nursery has been a wonderful experience. The staff have made us feel so at home, picking up my children has been a joy, seeing their smiling faces after an enjoyable day. The space is amazing and the art activities in particular are full of imagination and creativity. There is a definite community feeling within, which transcends the nursery gates as I see parents out and about in the local area, something my previous nursery just didn’t cultivate. I would and do recommend Montpelier to anyone looking for a safe, fun and relaxed place for their children to grow.”

“My daughter absolutely loves Montpelier. The staff are warm and attentive, and takes time to get to know the individual children. It is a really welcoming, light and safe environment, with the added bonus of a beautiful garden.”
