Little Fingers Montessori Nursery 208 Barry Road, London SE22 0JS

"Both my son and daughter attend this nursery and it’s been wonderful and seems to have got better and better since my son started over 3 years ago. They are a true montessori and follow the values in their teaching - both my kids have learned incredible independence and discipline there - the children are all kind and respectful to each other and adults. They serve healthy food and seem to really care about providing an educational experience and not just childcare. They do lovely activities, host music classes and yoga and French. We feel very lucky to have got spaces at this nursery and really grateful to all the staff for working hard in what is famously a stretched industry right now."

"When I visit the nursery I really liked it and I did believe that children were well looked after. But, since end last year I have been unable to receive neither a confirmatory response of whether or not we are in the waiting list nor an idea how long this waiting list is. Several emails not replied, and a few calls not received when promised that someone would get back to me...I felt very disappointed and this has made me step back and look for other places."

"Probably the best Montessori in SE London. They care very much about the children and the stimulation is great. My son is thriving there and very happy to go. It’s super clean, great outdoor spaces and activities. Highly recommended. Yes admin is a bit slow but it happens in most nurseries as of my experience. What matters is that children are properly taken care of and they have fantastic people working there, especially Luciana in the baby room a very caring teacher."

"Unfortunately I have sent three emails over an eight week span enquiring about the admissions process and hoping to add my son to the waiting list, and I have not received a reply to any of them. With communication as poor as this, if my son was in their care, I would worry how they would communicate important information with us."

"Little Fingers is an amazing nursery where our daughter has flourished. Our one-year-old daughter has been going there for just under a year and is very happy there.The nursery does a series of activities throughout the day which our daughter loves such as singing and story telling. The staff at the nursery are very thoughtful and caring. The nursery is very inclusive and throughout the year a number of activities are observed such as Diwali, pancake day, christmas concerts etc. The food is of excellent quality and our daughter seems to eat more at nursery then anywhere else. The children also bake cakes on a regular basis to bring home. The staff turnover is low which is great for consistency. I would highly recommend this nursery."
