My son had the most amazing time at TMN. He loved the experience, the teachers and the staff. I highly recommend TMN as, apart from the knowledge imparted, my son gained more confidence and independence.

The Montessori Nest is a wonderful preschool. We looked at *a lot* of places in PMB, and this was by far the best. The teachers are so caring and they are really kind to the children. We wanted to find a place where the children are respected and helped to grow, and their behaviour is corrected kindly and constructively, without punishment. Our child has really blossomed there - making friends and learning a lot from their very hands-on approach.

The Montessori Nest is the most Amazing I School I know off in Pmb.I have sent both my kids to The Montessori Nest after being to many school interviews.After our walk and talk with the Principal we knew this was the one ! My Baby Girl also refused to leave after the interview and we definitely took that as a sign as well ! Being a Stay at home mum it's not easy to let go of our precious babies that we loved and cared for all these years,however it gave me peace of mind and a great pleasure to hand them over to Tmn.I knew in my heart they are in the best hands.The warmth ,love ,nurturing, care and individual attention they receive is priceless.I love the pics we receive during the day ,which makes our day so happy to know our kids are so happy and loved at school.It is such a happy school with the most loving and friendly staff that treat our kids as their own from arrival to during the day and on exit for the day.I am always so overwhelmed as how loved our kids are by the stories they tell us at home regarding their day at school.My babies loved going to school each day and love their teachers and principal.I love that they teach all the kids to be friends and they are one big happy family in the school .Montessori Nest has not only taught our kids so much of knowledge but us as parents as well.The school is always neat and tidy and always making us as parents and grandparents feel special on our special days.My son loves his teacher Jess and principal Nirosha.Tmn will always hold a special place in our hearts and in the hearts of our kids,as our kids shared their most precious memories and milestones at The Montessori Nest ❤️Thank you Tmn ❤️

I have had two children at The Montessori Nest. It is a nurturing environment with passionate staff who really care for the wellbeing and holistic development of the little ones entrusted to them. This year, numerous significant days such Heritage Day were celebrated, fostering a sense of diversity and inclusion. Other highlights include grandparents, mothers, fathers day a pj party play day. I would recommend the school to parents who are looking for a space where your child is given individual attention to thrive.

The Montessori Nest is a safe, warm, caring institution which caters to the individual needs of every child. The teachers are absolutely amazing and offer a home away from home to our precious kids. The children form lifelong friendships and are provided with a strong educational foundation. I love the “family” feel amongst the parents and the comfort of knowing my Son is in the best care possible.

My son absolutely loves going to school. Since he started a month ago there has been no tears- he is the happiest chap and loves going about his day exploring and learning new things. We are so happy with the service and all that Montessori Nest has to offer.

The Montessori Nest has been our saving grace! From having a child who had difficulty adjusting and socializing, screaming and kicking every morning to noon, who now is calm and a social butterfly...who was non-verbal and not even responding to his name ...who now has become so intellectual and speaks 2 languages.....the team of trained professionals and assistants are remarkable. Thank you for giving my son a lasting impact on his overall development.

As Callum’s aunt, I’ve noticed a remarkable difference in him since he started preschool. The environment has been fantastic for his development. He has become much more social and confident, especially in how he interacts with other children. When we play together, I see how he’s learned to take turns, share, and communicate his thoughts more clearly. His vocabulary has expanded, and he loves telling me stories about what he’s learned or the activities he’s done during the day. Academically, Callum has made great strides.His creativity has blossomed, too. Whether he’s drawing pictures, making crafts, or playing with building blocks, there’s a new level of focus and imagination in what he does. What’s also clear is how much he enjoys learning. The preschool has really instilled a sense of curiosity in him. Every time I see him, he’s asking new questions and exploring the world around him in more thoughtful ways. and I’m so impressed by how much he’s gained from his time at preschool. Marcia Brink
