Our ethos is that children’s early years are the most important years of their lives. We strive to provide high quality childcare and education for all children that is appropriate to their individual needs.
Your first settling in sessions will give you and your child an opportunity to get to know your child’s key person. We provide the children with a learning environment that stimulates their creativity.
We offer daily opportunities for learning outdoors, giving children the freedom to explore, develop and learn. We pride ourselves in keeping the children fit and healthy, through daily physical.
Our menus are designed by the nursery chef and a paediatric dietician to meet the needs of each age group. We also promote the children’s healthy development through direct access to a large garden space.
Our philosophy is that every child we care for deserves a calm, caring, safe and stimulating environment in which to learn. Taking care of our staff’s wellbeing is of prime importance to us and we are proud to have been voted the 14th best place to work in the whole of the UK. We adhere to our registration on the Ofsted Early Years Register. This monitors the overall quality standards of the early years provision in line with the principles and requirements of the ‘Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage’.
Forest Hill Montessori is conveniently situated within walking distance of Forest Hill overground train station and local bus services. The Nursery is also easily accessible by car with plenty of on-street parking next to and around the nursery.
At our day nursery we offer a range of unique educational experiences which enable children to become successful, lifelong learners including:
“My daughter has been at the Nursery since she was 10 months old; she really enjoys it and has clearly flourished since she started. The team are lovely and she’s developed a clear bond with lots of the nursery staff over the time she’s been there, to the extent that she insists on ‘high-fiving’ everyone when leaving for the day!”
“Freida loves her time at nursery. She has attended for almost two years, since she was one, and has flourished in the attentive and caring atmosphere provided for her here. She especially enjoys the arts and crafts activities, which has improved her dexterity and hand eye coordination no end, and playing with her friends in the well looked after outdoor spaces.”
“My daughter has recently started in the baby room and I have found that she has settled really well. She is always smiling when I bring her in and has been excited to go to staff. Staff at Townsend are super friendly and very welcoming. All in all I am more than happy with the quality of care. Thank you”
“We Love Forest Hill Montessori! Elijah has been there since he was 10 months old and in that time has come on leaps & bounds. All the staff are super friendly, helpful and always willing to go the extra mile. ‘Lijee’ aside.. we’d be lost without them!”
“I am so happy with the quality of care my daughter is receiving in owls room. She comes home often talking about her day with her ‘best friend’/key worker Meghan. Thank you”
“I am so pleased my child settled really well. Staff are friendly lovely atmosphere. He enjoys his time here we have been made to feel so welcome. Keep up the good work x”
“My son has been at Forest Hill Montessori nursery for over 3 years. During that time he has made huge progress in both social and academic areas of learning. He is very happy, has many friends and good relationships with all the staff. He often refers to the adults when he is listing his best friends! We have found the staff to be friendly and approachable.
“We are so happy we moved Imogen to Townsend. The space and opportunities there are fantastic and she comes home chatting non-stop about all the activities she has been doing in the day – we struggle to keep up! Above all though, it is the quality of the care received that makes it such a special place and this helped Imogen settle quickly into, first Badgers, and then Owls (pre-school).
Here at Forest Hill Montessori we provide the children with a learning environment that stimulates their creativity and gives children the opportunities to be imaginative and critical thinkers. We monitor and review this on a regular basis to maintain the effectiveness of the provision.
