Walthamstow Montessori School

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.

We have loved our time at WMS. Both our children have grown from the care, and well thought out provision, they have experienced at the nursery. It is fantastic that our children can experience Montessori practice whilst they attend the school. This has influenced how we parent our two children, focusing on helping them to foster their independence. We have loved the teachers, support staff and leaders of the nursery, who nurture and care for our children and always find ways to keep in touch by sharing anecdotes day to day and through the carefully planned parent meetings the school hold. The community amongst parents and carers within the school is also precious and unique. It feels like a close, warm and friendly community to be a part of. We cherish the time our children have spent at WMS.

This is a heartfelt email to all the staff at Walthamstow Montessori School from 2016-2024.

We have had the honour and privilege of being part of an amazing school for almost a decade. We can sincerely say that it has felt like an extension of our family.

We have made amazing friends throughout our journey here.

We had four children under the age of five – it’s true what they say that it takes a village!

The school has been nothing short of amazing. All of our children received admission to WMS as their 2nd birthday present!

We have watched our four children grow through learning and play. They have great discipline and character in them.

Reflecting on nearly a decade at Walthamstow Montessori School, there are countless cherished memories.

A few highlights:

1. First Day Excitement: The nervous energy and excitement of the first day, seeing our children step into their classrooms with wide-eyed wonder.
2. Seasonal Celebrations: The joy of seasonal events like the plays and concerts! community came together in celebration. My personal favourite is the sports day where every year everyone’s a winner!
3. Art and Craft Projects: Watching our children’s creativity blossom through various art and craft projects, proudly bringing home their masterpieces.
4. Outdoor Adventures: The fun and learning that happened during outdoor playtime and nature walks, fostering a love for the environment. Catching bugs at Lloyds parks and sporting various creatures!
5. Graduation Ceremonies: The bittersweet moments of graduation ceremonies, marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of another, filled with pride and a few tears.
6. Parent-Teacher Interactions: The warm and supportive interactions with teachers and staff, who always went above and beyond to ensure our children’s growth and happiness.
7. Friendships Formed: The lifelong friendships our children made, and the bonds we formed with other parents, creating a strong sense of community.

We feel sad not to be a part of WMS anymore, but you have provided the stepping stone for our little ones to grow. Having passed various exams between the 4+ and 7+, they are now at Bancrofts School and Forest School and hopefully will do as well there as they have here!

Keep up the amazing work and contribution you make to the local families!

A heart full of gratitude and love!

Lovely dedicated teachers and other staff, great space. Our daughter loves it!
