Lovely teachers who genuinely care about the children.

Thank you for running such an amazing school and being so responsive to our needs. It’s clear that lot of effort goes in behind the scenes to make this such a positive place. The school felt right from our first visit and Children’s House is an inspiration. We really feel that our child couldn’t have been in a better environment. We will absolutely miss WMS!  Thank you.

We had visited 7 nurseries and nearly given up hope of finding one we liked, but within minutes of walking into Walthamstow Montessori School it was obvious that it was a world apart. At the other nurseries we had seen staff and children looking frazzled. However, at WMS the atmosphere was calm, warm and happy. The children were absorbed in their various activities with unusual and interesting equipment.

As we came to know the principal, Lorna Mahoney, we appreciated her as an outstanding and inspiring teacher. Our daughter spent two years at the WMS nursery before we moved from the area. We still visit and continue to admire the dedication, creativity and sheer hard work of all the WMS staff. The high quality of education at WMS is all the more surprising given its relatively low fees.

Our younger son attended a Montessori nursery near our new home, but it wasn’t as good as the Walthamstow Montessori. (Possibly because the other nursery was following only a few Montessori methods, whereas it’s a full Montessori approach at WMS.)

We have so many happy memories from WMS.

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.
