Evolution Montessori School
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A pre-school in Brentford for children from birth to 8+, open sessions in term time, often mornings. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in March 2023. Open since 2015, with 35 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Hounslow
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hounslow from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Children are happy in this nurturing environment. Staff greet them as they arrive, and children quickly engage in the activities that are on offer. Staff have a clear understanding of how to sequence the curriculum to ensure that all children achieve to the best of their ability. Children are encouraged to be independent, and they enjoy self-selecting the resources they would like to play with. Children feel valued and emotionally secure and quickly form strong bonds with their key person. Staff and children enjoy looking at the designated display board that celebrates children's artwork.
Children behave well. There is a clear structure in place, and children enjoy the daily routines. They follow adult instructions and join in with actions as they clap and sing the 'good morning song' together. They enjoy circle times, and staff remind them of their expectations for sitting, looking and listening. Children enjoy singing and dancing at nursery. They express themselves as they joyfully sing and dance with scarves to a range of familiar songs. Staff pause their singing, and children enjoy filling in the missing song words. Children enjoy counting songs.
This helps them to further their understanding of number.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- further support staff to ensure their interactions with children give opportunities for them to be fully challenged in developing their communication and language skills.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
