Twinkle Stars

Trust and Respect

Twinkle Stars excel at treating each child with respect, and an individual. We promote a culture of tolerance, inclusion, diversity, equality, fairness and opportunity amongst staff and children.

Twinkle Stars

Promoting Independence

The Montessori ethos allows children to gain a sense of challenge as they develop in each learning step. Children are not afraid of making mistakes, they are encouraged to see them as natural steps in their learning process, thus promoting independence and confidence whilst enjoying new challenges.

Twinkle Stars

All rounded Excellence

Offering a unique blend of Montessori activity and the EYFS curriculum, a wide variety of extra-curricular activities in addition to external learning – a perfect opportunity for children to grow and prosper.

Welcome

After seeing my three children successfully prosper through the Montessori philosophy, I proudly opened Twinkle Stars Montessori Nursery.

As a first-time parent, I will never forget the thoughts that ran through my mind when selecting my childs nursery I felt a little anxious, looking for a Nursery that I could trust to give my child the very best. I wanted my child to feel safe, challenged and most of all happy, whilst having vast opportunities for growth.

With more than twenty years experience in childcare and over ten years as an owner & director, Twinkle Stars has an excellent reputation for consistent and high-quality childcare. Every child is nurtured, challenged, stimulated and treated with respect, as a unique individual child.

Montessori education encourages children to be independent, confident, courteous and considerate young people. Children are encouraged to participate in group activities where they are able to investigate and challenge through play, whilst developing life skills that are invaluable.

At Twinkle Stars, we combine the Montessori and EYFS principles, which work hand in hand to enable children to recognise the usefulness of what they learn through play and activity.

We’re extremely proud of what parents say about us and how they entrust their children in our care. Parents consistently comment on how welcoming, caring, and calm the environment at Twinkle Stars Montessori Nursery is.

Staff at Twinkle Stars are passionate about their work and achievements, and each of them will commit to the development of the children under their care.

I would personally like to invite you to browse through our website to find out more, and of course contact us via the Get in Touch form.

What Parents Say

  • Hannah started at TSMN in January 2020. She was welcomed in so well by all teachers and as a parent to see the teachers smiles each morning, they open the door to us is very heart warming. The teachers welcome Hannah in each morning with kindness and happiness and by that I know she is going to have a great day. There is a lovely atmosphere and feeling from the nursery that reassures me that Hannah is happy there. TSMN understands that toddlers can be unpredictable, so what I have really appreciated is that if Hannah needed an extra bit of time to get ready in the morning, therefore arriving a bit later passed 9 o clock they are more than happy welcoming her when she arrives. That is so comforting to have to not put time pressure on Hannah while settling into getting up and ready for school each day.

    Hannah was in nappy’s when she started in January. TSMN were very encouraging with toilet training, and by the start of the summer Hannah goes independently to the toilet both at school and at home!

    Hannah’s development has inclined profoundly, she turned 3 in August and I am so impressed with her how her vocabulary has come along since starting at TSMN. Arriving home with drawings and painting each day and a little book on how her day was and what she did is reassuring and a lovely insight into what she has been up to throughout the day.

    TSMN hold both ballet and drama, Hannah joined Ballet and she loved it!

    The communication between the nursery and parents is of the highest standard, regular emails and prompt responses to any queries that we may have had. TSMN are both approachable and informative and that I am extremely grateful for.

    I want to thank Parin, and all of Hannah’s teachers for looking after and teaching Hannah. She is very happy in school, she loves attending school and we as parents couldn’t not be more content and grateful.

  • Lovely nursery! My daughter who is 8 now attended it from the age of 18 months till she started school. My child loved going to the nursery all thanks to the lovely teachers who made her feel special as she walked in every morning. She loved the range of activities they did- French. computer, gymnastics & music. She has lots of lovely memories which I'm sure she will hold in her heart forever!
    Thank you Parin & the staff for caring for my child!


    Sheenum Sibal

  • My daughter attended Twinkle Stars Montessori when she was three years old - a fundamental time to gain independence and establish trust with other adults. Although she had some separation anxiety at the beginning, the warmth and patience Parin and her team showed helped my daughter gain confidence and feel secure. It is a wonderful nursery which offers many activities and spaces for children to grow and thrive.

    If you need more, please let me know. Lola is doing really well at nursery. She is now reading and her key-worker is working one-to-one with her to help her develop it! We will definitely drop by if we have a chance as Lola still remembers you!


    Anita

  • We sent our elder son to TSMN at the age of 20 months. In a short space of time we saw our son change from a shy and reserved to a confident and talkative boy. He enjoyed every min he spent at this nursery and graduated as different boy to the one that started. TSMN has a truly nurturing, caring and loving environment and my little boy enjoyed every minute of it as well as learning a great deal. The nursery is amazing and I cannot ask for a better group of carers to take care of my little one.
    We are so happy with TSMN that our second child went there straight at 18 months. I could not ask for a better nursery like TSMN for my boys which is home away from home.

  • Twinkle stars Montessori Nursery gave my son an excellent kick start when he started reception. When my son left the Montessori to start reception, he was confident and pretty independent with most of his tasks such as dressing up himself, wearing his jacket, eating food by his own, writing his name, writing small sentences and reading simple books.
    His basics of maths, literacy and science were well formed.
    Thanks to Twinkle Stars Montessori!

  • Ali Mahdi was very happy and settled at TSMN, he has now started reception and has adjusted very well to his new big school. TSMN has provided Ali Mahdi with a great start to his educational journey, they are very caring and nurturing exactly what you need for a young child. I was always reassured that my children would be safe and well taken care of, which for me was a very important factor when choosing a nursery.


    Sakina Merali

  • My daughter is 3 years and 5 months and she started to come to nursery from a few months.
    In all this time Rebecca is changed in good, she knows new things, like new songs, every day she is saying new words, she’s more organised with her toys, she’s sharing toys with her younger cousin and playing more with her than before. I am very happy to see all these good things in this short time.
    I want to say thank you to all the staff from Twinkle Stars Montessori Nursery for the good behaviour with the children and for all the patience they have with them.
    I can see that from my daughter because every morning I tell her it's time for nursery and she wakes up very happy to come there, and at the end of the program she goes out the door every time smiling and happy.
    I am very happy with this nursery and I recommend it to all parents who want a good start for their child. Sure is the best.

    Thank you all for everything.

  • In Jan 2017, our son Jai started Twinkle Stars and in 2018, our daughter Anoushka, also joined. They both adapted really well to their new surroundings and, as parents, this gave us peace of mind and confidence in the nursery environment.
    Parin and her wonderful teaching staff maintained a great focus on Montessori and Early Years teaching, as well as pastoral care. We believe both aspects have significantly contributed to their enthusiasm for further learning at Nursery/Primary School, and their well-rounded confident and sociable nature.
    Our children have very fond memories of their teachers and friends and we would thoroughly recommend the nursery to other parents.

  • Our daughter joined TSMN one year ago and we have not looked back on our choice of nursery.

    Before she started TSMN, her vocabulary was limited and she only used one word at a time. Within two weeks of joining, her vocabulary built up significantly and she was able to talk with two and three words at a time and knew many nursery rhymes.

    Parin and her staff are amazing. From day one, they have been friendly and caring which enabled our daughter to settle into nursery quickly. Our daughter is always talking about her teachers and friends.

    She receives dedicated attention from her teachers and has an excellent key worker.

    The range of activities she does at TSMN are varied, stimulating and enjoyable. We are kept updated on her day through the communication book and the online portal which also includes photos of our child. It will be a nice memory to download into a book when she leaves.

    We are certain TSMN is giving her the best foundation learning to prepare her for school and would recommend TSMN to anyone looking for a nursery.

  • Choosing a nursery for my son was a really difficult choice as he was only 1 when he first started, but as soon as I saw Twinkle Stars I knew it would be the perfect environment for him. It is a very warm and homely place and all the staff are very friendly and nurturing which I loved. I love how the nursery follows the ethos of being child-led, and my son has really thrived in this environment.

    He has now been in the nursery for almost a year and I couldn't be happier with Twinkle Stars. They are amazing at answering any queries I have and Parin has always been amazing, particularly throughout the settling in process which is naturally a very uneasy and anxious process for parents.
    If you want somewhere that your child will be able to freely explore, play and still learn a lot in the process, I would highly recommend Twinkle Stars.

    Zahra D

  • My daughter attends Twinkle Star Nursery in Pinner. She has been there for over a year and is very happy, always looks forward to going in the morning with a happy face. Parin and the nursery staff are very friendly and flexible to any changing needs for our child. I have seem improvement in my daughter in relation to her social skills and learning. Overall I would be very happy to recommend Twinkle star for the little ones early years.


    Ritu

  • My son joined Twinkle Stars when he turned 1. At first, I was nervous about sending him in so young, however, all the staff at Twinkle Stars made a home at nursery for him. He loves his teachers and bringing his work home to share. I've seen how good his development has been and I want to thank TSMN team for their consistent effort, love and dedication to the children.

  • Twinkle Stars Montessori has been absolutely incredible for my daughter. At only 12 months, she quickly settled into the warm, supportive environment. I can only sing the praises of Parin and her dedicated, friendly team of staff who are clearly passionate about the happiness and growth of the children. Parin is committed to helping parents with their needs, and is flexible and approachable. I am so grateful for this Montessori and would highly recommend it.


    Sabiha Haji

  • I recommend Twinkle Stars Montessori with an excellent mark.
    My daughter attended this setting for a year when she was 2.5 years old. She was very attached to me during her younger days and I was really worried about sending her to the nursery. But to my surprise, the settling in and transition was quite smooth with the support of the staff. The staff are polite and very helpful. I have no words to thank Parin in terms of how understanding and sensible she was throughout my association with the nursery.
    Thank you to TSMN for making our journey with you so memorable and eventful.

  • Since starting at Twinkle Stars just over two years ago our son Freddie has come so far. The staff are very friendly and helped to settle him in really well. He has learnt so much since being there, we would honestly recommend Twinkle Stars 100%.

  • My daughter started TSMN at the age of 2. She settled in within two weeks of joining and thereafter looked forward to going to nursery. Parin and her staff are extremely warm and caring which made the settling in process easier. Before starting nursery my daughter was only able to say single words and would not join two words together but within two weeks of joining TSMN she was talking in full sentences and singing nursery rhymes at home!

    The level of communication which included the daily journals and weekly portal updates which included photos were excellent and a fantastic way to know what my daughter had been doing at nursery.

    When my daughter moved to group 2 at TSMN, she continued to learn through fun activities and was reading and writing before she left TSMN. She was also able to do simple maths sums and had been introduced to the world of science knowing the planet names, life cycle of plants and a whole lot more. When my daughter left TSMN she was a confident child who was curious to always know more.

    At primary school my daughter was one of ten reception children to be placed in the blended class with year 1 children. Having just been for my daughter's first parents evening at her new school, I have no doubt I made the right decision by joining her at TSMN from the age of 2. Her class teacher said she was confident and ahead of where they would expect a reception child to be. The teacher also commented on how my daughter has been given an excellent foundation of learning.

    I cannot thank Parin and her staff enough for the knowledge they have instilled in my child and the love for learning which she has developed.


    Mrs G

  • My daughter started at TSMN when she was 19 months old till she was 4.5 years when she started primary school. like every parent , I was very anxious to leave my daughter in some one else care full time, as I had to return to work. My anxiety and aprehension disappeared as Tsmn provided a safe , caring and nurturing environment for my daughter to develop in. She started as a very shy sensitive toddler and grew into a confident and polite little girl. She loved every day of those 3 years and still tells me almost 9 months after leaving , that she misses her teachers and friends.
    I would recommend Tsmn without a shadow of a doubt to any parent.


    Mrs A Padhani-Raza

  • My daughter started Twinkle Stars in September 2010 soon after her second birthday. From the day she started until the day she left, there has not been a single day that she has not leapt out of bed to go to 'school', or been reluctant. Her most miserable days were the holidays, where she'd be away from Parin and her other teachers. I think that in itself speaks volumes for what a positive and nurturing first start my daughter had at Twinkle Stars. Parin welcomed her very warmly and I was amazed at how well she and her staff knew my child, how detailed their progress reports were, and how each child was treated as an individual. Parin herself was always at hand - if not in person, then at the other end of the line - to ask if we had any queries at all, and she was very accommodating and patient with anxious parents too. Just talking to Parin, her professionalism is evident, as well as her commitment to putting the children's emotional and physical wellbeing before everything else. I basically felt that my child was safe, having fun, in good hands, and making measurable progress the entire time that she was there, and I would highly recommend it to prospective parents.
