We highly recommend BestStart Montessori The Children’s House. Our son recently completed his Montessori journey there and has now started school. We are incredibly grateful for the care, support, and guidance he received throughout his time at the centre. All the teachers were kind, nurturing, and dedicated to helping children learn and grow. They created a warm, safe, and welcoming environment where our son developed confidence, independence, and a love of learning. We always felt reassured knowing he was in such caring hands. Thank you to all the wonderful teachers and staff for making his early learning years so positive and memorable. We will always look back on his Montessori experience with gratitude and highly recommend this centre to other families. ❤️

As an anxious mum, I needed to find a daycare where I knew my son was safe, loved and had the best opportunity to thrive. Best Start Montessori ticked all those boxes. This is the third child I have had attend this school and have no doubts in our decision to keep coming back here. The teachers are like family and truly care about the children. Thank you Monty team for everything you do for us!

The Children’s House Montessori Daycare has been a part of my life for over a decade, and I honestly can’t imagine a better environment for children to learn and grow. My journey with them began during high school when I did my Gateway work experience there. Even then, I could feel how special the atmosphere was calm, nurturing, and deeply respectful of each child’s individual journey. Years later, my daughter, who is now 10, attended The Children’s House, and it was such a gift to watch her thrive under the guidance of the teachers. Most recently, my son, who just turned 5, also attends and once again, it has been an incredible experience. They are kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. You can see their passion and love for what they do in every interaction. They treat each child with care and respect, always encouraging independence, confidence, and curiosity in a beautiful Montessori way. The environment is calm, structured, and thoughtfully designed to spark and encourage learning through play and exploration. My children always came home happy, confident, and full of stories about what they had discovered. I wholeheartedly recommend The Children’s House Montessori to any family looking for a nurturing, high-quality early learning environment. It’s more than a daycare it’s a second home.
