The Bristol Montessori

We have nothing but kind words, thanks and respect for the team at The Bristol Montessori, they have been wonderful with our child who joined at 2 years old and has just left to start school reception year. Our child has blossomed with their love and support and it was no doubt the right place for them to attend. They have been helpful and understanding in every step of our parenting journey. Now that they have started school, our children's teachers comment on how well-rounded they are and how The Bristol Montesorri has clearly helped them develop skills for life and the confidence to be their own person. We even see this at home - our child already partakes in helping around the house, is comfortable getting themselves ready for the day and is comfortable knowing their feelings and communicating them. The team are all so kind and caring and really want the best for the children, no matter what gets thrown at them. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts x

My daughter loved going to The Bristol Montessori. She started Reception and teachers are saying she has been well prepared. We always have been worried about language barrier but teachers there helped a lot with her developing 2 languages at the same time. I can say only good words for Miss Anya. She has been really helpful and supportive. In my opinion kids are happy there and teachers have managed to create positive environment so kids can learn. We recommend The Bristol Montessori.

My son first started nursery at Bristol Montessori and when he left he didn't speak any English. The teachers were very attentive to everything and within 8 months he was understanding and able to communicate with most English speakers. He has also made tremendous progress in his socialization. Even though my son's nursery is over, he still wants to go there. I'm glad we sent it here. I definitely recommend it. Thank you so much for everything.

My Son has been there for over 1 year and has had some difficulties Learning, the care that the staff have given him at Montesorri has been nothing short of exceptional. They go out of their way to make sure that your child's development is a priority. We have seen a massive progression in our son and feel there is no better place for him to be. If you want the best for your child this is the place to send them.

I viewed this nursery setting back in September 2022. It has got to be one of the worst experiences of my life. I attended alone to my viewing - which was instantly judged - I heard comments such as “do you not have a support system for him, does he not have a father figure”. When I commented on the staircase being freely accessible for kids to climb up and down without being monitored at all - the response was “I find that if a child falls down the stairs there is something wrong with their brain”. Again a VERY odd comment to make when toddlers are prone to tripping. My son was 18 months at the time, he is as only can be described as a little curious boy who is finding his way in the world. The day of the viewing he hadn’t slept well the night before and was getting tired as it was late morning so was a little bit of a handful for me, rushing around the exciting new rooms, picking different things up, exploring his new surroundings but having a tantrum if I held his hand to keep him nearby me. No different to 90% of children out there when put in a new place and told not to touch anything. Toddlers do not know patience, some more than others. The lady said “I think his behaviour is too far gone to be repaired looking at him” “He doesn’t seem to follow instructions / understand not to touch things and put them in his mouth”….(normal toddler behaviour.) At the time I was also pregnant with my second child and she said “does he know he’s having a brother?” Which I found to be a strange question as surely she should know dealing with children all day everyday at 18 months a child doesn’t have much concept of what is happening. She then went onto say “his behaviour will only get worse with the arrival of this sibling so good luck, if I was you I’d keep him with 1 carer and not socialise with other children so they can give him 1:1 support, I don’t think he’s suitable for here. Which by the way he is now 2.5 years old and there is nothing unusual about his behaviour. Toddlers grow at their own pace and not being able to communicate is very frustrating for them esp at 18 months old. Being a first time mum I left feeling alone, vulnerable, upset and also very scared about what was to come with the arrival of my second child. My child and I had been judged. I wish I had a voice back then but I wasn’t confident enough but I am now, I was treated awfully. We went onto find a caring nurturing nursery where he is now thriving. I 100% would not recommend this nursery to anyone.

Both of our children have grown and developed so well since being at The Bristol Montessori. Amazing staff, and I cant recommend highly enough.

Bardzo dobrze prowadzone przedszkole. Jest to w Bristolu jedyne szkoła Montessori , która naprawdę pracuje według zasad Marii Montessori. Byłam w środku w trakcie zajęć i jako nauczyciel montessori jestem zachwycona 🙂. …

Well, what can I say?! A lot! The Bristol Montessori are honestly the most wonderful childcare setting you could ever wish for for your little one. Not only set in a beautiful building which is set up like a home from home but the teachers are second to none. The most carefully selected kind, gentle and knowledgeable bunch of humans who know the Montessori ethos inside and out. They all show love and kindness to your child and help each and every one settle in like a member of the family. The materials and subjects the children use and learn are much more advanced than traditional nursery settings and the diversity and multiculturalism children are taught is wonderful. It’s a sad day when your children finish their montessori journey with Miss Pegah and her amazing team x Positive Responsiveness, Reliability, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Professional & friendly staff. Always putting the welfare of the children at the forefront ensuring they have the right hygiene & PPE supplies available. Positive Professionalism
