Walthamstow Montessori School

Both of my daughters attend WMS and both of them love school! The environment is warm and nurturing and the staff are all attentive and understanding to the both the children's and parent's needs.We need more schools like this so that every child could experience this special approach to learning enabling them to develop into well rounded, confident and inquisitive little people.

Lovely school! Great place for your child to become the best version of themselves! There’s a lot of opportunity as a parent to get involved, which is great.Great knowledgeable team of teachers, couldn’t have chosen a better place for our son!

I didn't like the way how this school has handled my son's application process. The lady who is responsible for processing applications appeared to be racist and she has discriminated my son who has mild autism condition. Such a big disappointment.

I have paid the £75 fee online to “secure” a place for my daugther and then i called them to discuss ( that was on 24.02.2021), and we agreed that the school is not for my daughter (as she was 5 at that time ) and they will refund me the fee , as they say on their website that the fee is refundable if you change your mind in the folowing 7 days ( i have asked for the refund the same day - on the phone and via email)I haven’t received any refund ( and now is 18.08.2021)

Our Son has attended WMS since he was 2yrs old.. he is now 6.7yrs... Dexter has excelled from strength to strength as a person & academically....The near on 1:1 education he has received in each & every class he has been in since starting from nursery to his current prep class is a rare experience for a child to receive & blossom in...WMS is caring, extremely supportive to each child & families needs.... the teachers whom many have been there since our son started are without a doubt true professionals with hearts of gold....The Manager Wendy, Secretary Katy, Miss Mary in upper school & my sons current teacher Nora & asstiant Heidi are of all an extreme high level in they’re professional abilites, experience, & duty of care..as is every other single teacher, assistant & helper throughout the school...Miss Lorna the principal & owner of WMS is so driven by her strong etchics at giving the children the best start in life by way of the Monterssori method, the school is a true reflection on her years of hard & dedication....Our son continues to go from strength to strength & proud to say his a WMS student... 1st class...

My son really enjoys being at the nursery and now Kindergarten. The teachers have all been so kind and attentive and it is a wonderful, kind learning environment.

This is my daughters first experience of a teaching environment and she loves it. She was only 2 years old when she started but settled in very quickly and now looks forward to her time there. The teachers are so lovely and the overall experience has been great. I couldn't recommend this nursery high enough. A real local treasure!

Staff genuinely care, the biggest factor when exploring nursery options. All teachers have been warm and attentive, which made settling in for my daughter a doddle. She loves the variety of activities including the weekly 'out and about' exploration. Our second most important factor when considering nurseries was how calm the environment was. Peaceful yet industrious, with choice and flexibility of both guided and independent activities was crucial as our daughter had not been in any other kind of daycare until she started at WMS (2 months off 3yrs old) and had been visibly overwhelmed during visits to other nurseries. We enjoy reading the weekly newsletters to find out what our daughter has been up to as she rarely tells us and look forward to events throughout the academic calendar such as Christmas and summer concerts, sports day, carol services. Not forgetting the 'birthday walk', a beautiful marker to celebrate being another year older.

Both of my children attend WMS. They truly enjoy going to school and have developed a natural curiosity for learning that is wonderful to see. The materials and techniques employed to educate have been very succesful in giving my children a deep understanding of the subject matter. WMS is a great school!

I think this is a great school. My daughter is in the Lower School and seems to be making rapid progress. She loves going and pretty much runs to get there each day. The staff are warm, welcoming and care about the children. There is a clear vision for the way in which she is taught and we are very fortunate to have this school so close.
