“When I visited other preschools with Emilio I didn't feel comfortable, like they were that eager for him to be there. I worried as he has autism and I was already anxious about sending him to school. As soon as I visited you I felt so much better. You were welcoming, friendly and accepting. I never had any issues with Emilio at school and I always felt like you all put his needs first and went out of your way to accommodate him. He absolutely loved school and I didn't worry about him at all when he was there. Now with Alvario I feel exactly the same. He loves it and I feel comfortable dropping him off knowing that he's with lovely people and safe. I would recommend Claygate Montessori to everyone and anyone with young children.”

What local parents say
Nothing tells you more about a nursery than the families who are already there.
“We sent my daughter to Montessori mid pandemic after we moved to Claygate and haven't looked back. The staff are incredible and very understanding about our daughter's medical needs. Her progress since she started nursery has been amazing and her speech and language skills have come on leaps and bounds. It is a really nurturing environment and I love the fact that they don't separate the children by age group so they all get to interact together. The Little Kickers and French lessons are a great addition to the regular programme and my daughter seems to really love them. We are delighted that our little girl is able to attend such a wonderful nursery where she is so well cared for.”
“Amazing nursery, and the staff don't get enough credit for the love, care and devotion they give to the children. Elyse started primary school today and if it wasn't for you, she wouldn't have been ready or confident enough to go.”
