Les Trois Oursons Bilingual Nursery

Both my son and daughter attended LTO and they really enjoyed it. Staff were very kind, engaging and professional Montessori experts, the method they deeply embrace. Whenever you have concerns and issues they are always willing to listen and make time for you and they respond swiftly. Children are very well looked after. They have a (what I call luxurious!) three-course meal every day that is cooked in the kitchen inside and they sometimes participate in cooking themselves. Teachers come up with a lot of different activities. My daughter left LTO about a year ago to go to a primary school but she still talks about her time there and her teachers (Pippa, Laurienne, Chao and George)... I'm really glad my children had a good introduction to the wider society through LTO and came out with a very good command of both English and French. I cannot recommend strongly enough -- thank you LTO!

Our both daughters used to go to Les Trois Oursons in 2016-2017. Elena in the Lions room and Sofia in the bunnies room. We cannot recommend the nursery highly enough and we would have definitely continued the next year if we have not moved back to France. For us it was more than a simple nursery. It was like being the part of a family. It is also where I have discovered Montessori methodology. Elena was very shy when she started going at Les Trois Oursons and in the end she was full of confidence, made lots of friends and started talking a lot, both in English and in French. It was also great experience for our little baby Sofia who started the nursery at 10 months. Just a few days to adapt and then she was enjoying every single day there. We would like to say a BIG thank you to the whole team: Regina, Marie-Catherine, Pippa, Anabelle, Maya, Hend, Laure, George. Thank you for everything you have done for Elena and Sofia. Many hugs from Paris :) Tamar & Olivier

Our son spent 3 years here, and has just started Reception Year in Primary School as a happy, articulate, responsible and kind child, much of which is thanks to the nurturing, stimulating environment at LTO. When he started at age 1 I felt confident he was in safe, genuinely caring hands, and at age 4 he was looked after by teachers who really knew and understood him. An excellent, age appropriate level of care was given throughout. The nursery is very well run and very well organised. Highly recommended.

Very professional, caring and the best place for a child to develop and learn. The teachers and al nursery staff are exceptional.

Our daughter really enjoyed the 2 years she spent there. She learnt a lot and develop to be a confident and caring little girl.Thanks to Melissa, Liliane Ruhina, Peppa, Myriam and all the other teachers and assistants who were very helpful.

LTO is a lovely nursery, and we couldn't rate our experience more highly. My daughter spent 3 years here, and I was impressed from the outset with the structured supportive well-thought-through approaches underlying the running of the nursery. Responses to many different situations ( inter-child conflict.. toilet learning.. supporting emotional regulation... routines .. birthdays ..following child's interests in scaffolding learning.. set up post covid.. approach to numbers and letters) followed a clear well-founded approach and drew on a wealth of pedagogy and experience, and this was apparent from the first time setting foot inside and asking questions during our tour. We always found the nursery responsive and easy to communicate with. We also welcomed the photos and windows-into-the-classroom that were regularly shared with parents via their ap. Our daughter had exceptionally kind, warm, intelligent and experienced teachers. She absolutely adored her key persons, formed extremely close bonds, and had good continuity - and when new teachers joined the team, we always felt the nursery had hired well, and handover was good. We were happy with every room. In Lions, where she spent the most time, the Montessori classroom felt rich and hands-on, and our daughter was excited about the topics she got to learn about, supported especially by Pippa picking up on different interests among the kids and pursuing them in small groups. We were really impressed by how tailored the learning was, and felt our daughter was stimulated and inspired to ask all kinds of questions and pursue in-depth information. Towards the end we were blown away by her proudly making her own mini-books and avidly seeking to copy out words from source materials, and were happy that she was supported in her interests here. The speciality teachers that came weekly for sport and music/ dance (with guitar singalongs and exposure to a range of instruments) were great, and the little casual summer/ winter concerts with singing and instrumental accompaniment in the beautiful airy nearby church were a highlight. The French was a huge bonus, and our daughter understands a lot just from the immersion and became increasingly confident and enthusiastic in speaking. She also was very fond of the Mandarin speaking teaching assistants (pre-covid) and the extra cultural exposure was colourful and interesting to her; she came home singing all the songs. The menus were truly stand-out, with everything cooked fresh onsite. With the same dishes coming up again over time, I loved that she quickly became familiar with and grew to enjoy a really wide range of foods that are different to at home.

Our son attended LTO for almost two years and I cannot provide a more positive review of the experience. From the first visit it was clear that the quality of the teachers was superb. We were thrilled to see that the teachers and staff were even better than we anticipated. They truly care for each child and focus on creating a comfortable, achieving environment. We spent time in three rooms and each time the transition was handled very well and each new classroom had welcoming teachers and students. Our son made significant progress while at LTO and set him up for long term success in school. We hope to send our daughter as well.

It was an intentional and one of the best decisions we've made for both of our children to attend Les Trois Oursons in their early years. The undivided, structured and expert care has resulted in two bilingual and well-stimulated children. Their love for play and exploration is evident, thanks to the Montessori programme. By age 2 they were both capable of distinguishing French from English and they exuded a high level of confidence, which could only be due to the dedicated care and commitment the LTO team provided. We cannot thank you enough and wish you all the very best.

Our daughter went to LTO for two years and she loved it. We were also very happy with the nursery. Teachers were very kind and knowledgeable, and she was exposed to French on a daily basis. The children have interesting activities every day and the nursery staff really try to keep parents well informed of their children's progress. Now that our daughter started school, we all miss LTO.

A wonderful bilingual nursery with plenty of activities to develop the child’s mind as well as motor skills. The environment is warm and welcoming and the key people are bubbly and attentive.

In my experience, this is one of the best nurseries in London. Having tried a few others, Les Trois Oursons is the most professional. It is no wonder they have an OUTSTANDING Ofsted rating. I have two other children that will also attend this nursery when they are of age. I love their approach and how they respect each child individually. The teachers are wonderful; caring and warm. Safety of the children is their first priority.

Our daughter Alix really enjoyed her time at the nursery. The activities were very diverse and entertaining for children and the premises offer lots of indoor activities. The nursery really care about healthy food and having environment friendly furniture too which is a good teaching start for kids!

I absolutely love Les Trois Oursons. The staff is very kind and helpful, they are very caring and attentive to the children. Marina, Gallina and Alex were all wonderful teachers. The rooms are big and airy, the lunches look amazing, prepared with care and fresh (you could see the supermarket orders come in the morning). They learn how to clean their plates, to eat all sort of things (now we have to prepare lunch at home, it's such a pain). My daughter was there from January to August 2017 when she was 2 years old. We only left because it was too far from our house and the logistics of having two kids in two different places that were far apart was not sustainable. I was heartbroken we had to take her out. I think all children there thrive. It's a no fuss stress free nursery with amazing accommodating hours (and accommodating staff). I can't recommend it highly enough.

Our daughter spent 2 years in Les 3 Oursons, which was a very enriching and positive experience for her. She is now fluent in both French and English, thanks to very committed and friendly staff efforts. She's also developed impressive creative skills and now has a constant flow of imaginative play ideas that she enjoys sharing with us!

Fantastic place. Our little one had a wonderful year and developed so much thanks to experienced and caring staff. Highly recommend.

Excellent nursery - my son stayed there for 2.5 years, we had to change nursery as we were moving and we miss LTO. My son learnt so much over there, with lots of activities and very good staff that listens to the children needs and developments. There are also external staff coming to provide dance, sport and music lessons, which is invaluable. All in all a very good nursery providing French and English as well.

Our daughter was one of the first to walk through the door of LTO and our son followed in her footsteps a few years later, both experiences were incredible and our decision to send them to LTO for their nursery education has been one of the best we have ever made. LTO feels completely different from most other nurseries, often we felt as if we were sending our little ones to be cared for by family. They take all of the worry away from childcare, the opening hours and the fact that they don’t operate ”term times” means that working parents can actually work, the food is amazing and the staff are full of genuine affection for the children they care for. Our kids thrived in an environment that was so evidently filled with love that it is hard to imagine that this is “work” for the staff and not a calling. Perhaps most importantly this environment gave both of them the confidence, knowledge, and strong sense of self that is so vital for a child's next step into primary education. I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment in recommending them to other parents, this place is a gift.

Great Nursery! The team is great and very nurturing. Bilingualism and Montessori methods are just ideal for that age. Très Bien !!!

Had the worst experience of my life. Wouldn't recommend the nursery to an enemy. Utterly disappointed.
