Beanstalk Montessori Nursery School

I looked at a large variety of local schools for my daughter and I immediately fell in love with everything about Beanstalk Montessori. In comparison to others it instantly stood out from the crowd for so many reasons. The teachers were and are all so welcoming, loving and nurturing and the children were all so happy and content. It had a special buzz and felt like a magic extension from a happy homelife filled with endless fun, stimulating, encouraging and enterprising learning amongst friends. I just knew my daughter would thrive there and she has done just that. Having her key teacher visit and play for a morning before she started made the first day and settle in period so smooth, such a wonderful addition. It can be a huge milestone for both the child and parent(s) and they really did make it so natural, comforting and seamless. They have a wonderful outside space which is very spoiling and most other schools do not have. It was incredibly important for me to have an element of outside learning, freedom and play. Learning and fantasising in nature is exactly what I wanted for her, especially cementing the importance of learning to look after it as well as enjoying it. They are very environmentally conscious. I love how cultural they are, celebrating international festivals and celebrations with the children and learning about the world. Their endless energy for making learning fun has a huge impact in how my daughter is learning and understanding. They cook yummy treats each week (if you are lucky to share a bite!), set up fun trips, arts and crafts, acting, building, making, science, yoga. These are a few examples of a wide variety of opportunities and subjects they offer and all in such a fun, accessible and practical way that is so creative and inspiring.. and all taught in a way that feels like play! They have taught my daughter so much independence and confidence that she can do anything she puts her mind to and this is down to the love, kindness and secure surrounding they wrap our children in. She is so so happy and I am so proud of her and her wonderful friends. The children all have a lovely, strong bond and are so thoughtful, kind and cheeky with one another. This is true testament to the teachers, who I cannot thank enough. Happy children make thirsty sponges! I really do recommend a visit if you are looking in the Chiswick/Stamford Brook/Hammersmith/Askew/Shepherds Bush area. They also offer a wonderful toddler group on Friday mornings if you are wanting to trial and experience the magic or have younger siblings. I'm going to be very sad when she leaves for big school, I have loved the drop-off's and pick-ups, it is a real extended family and made life long friends. Nothing but Love & Happiness x

Beanstalk Montessori is THE best nursery and I would very highly recommend it. All three of my children went through Beanstalk and had the most happy and wonderful time. Beanstalk is a family and such a warm and welcoming environment for children to have fun, play, develope and learn. It's a very special place indeed and we were very sad to leave when our youngest moved on to school. We will all always have extremely fond memories of our time spent at Beanstalk and it was a fantastic start for our kids.
