Little Fingers Montessori, Barry Road reviews?

[Mrs Humm]

Hi,

My son has been offered a place for two days a week here, as the Burbage Road one has closed down.

Although the same management, if has a very different feel, so would really appreciate some feedback of experience?

It's a lovely nursery. Really high standard of care / teaching. My son has been in the upstairs room for eighteen months or so and there's been no staff turnover at all. He loves all the teachers and there seems to be a great balance between the nurturing and caring side of things, but also lots of imaginative teaching too (making an actual Stick Man after they read the story, learning about the solar system using a 3D model, learning about how metal conducts using some sort of cool bit of science kit!) Quite a few of the kids there wrote their own letters to Father Christmas! Would highly recommend. PM me if that helps.

I completely agree with Kate H. My son has been there for 18 months and loves it too. He comes home teaching us new songs and talking through things like the life cycle of a butterfly. Would also highly recommend. Similarly PM me if helpful.

Also wanted to pitch in and say how great this nursery is. My son was at another local Montessori and we weren't happy. Parveen, Mervin, Gaby and the staff here area all wonderful and have worked with us on dealing with issues that come up with toddlers in a positive way. He's doing so well there and is happy on drop off and pick up every day!

Wonderful place - our daughter has been there for almost 2 1/2 years and loved every minute.

Terrific management and staff

I would also like to add a very positive review for Little Fingers - our boy has been there since he turned 1, and he has been so very happy ever since. Comes home full of happiness every day, and we can see how much he looks forward to being dropped off in the mornings (he often doesn't want to leave! when we pick him up!). We have been very impressed with how attentive the staff are to his needs, and a real sense that they take pleasure in their jobs, supporting him in his development in imaginative ways - combined with a genuine warmth and love for seeing the little ones grow and learn. Really wouldn't hesitate to heartily recommend... They've (finally) got a website, www.littlefingersmontessori.com, and also (after a bit of a wait) got their 'mymontesorri child' online progress/development diary for parents up and running which is a good addition.
