One World Montessori
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A pre-school in Chislehurst 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 July 2024. Open since 2004, with 32 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 Bromley
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Bromley from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend
All children are confident and happy during their time in the pre-school. Staff demonstrate a good knowledge of their curriculum and how they implement it to support all children to enjoy learning. Staff have a high expectation of what children can achieve and plan accordingly. Children are keen to join in with the interesting activities that staff carefully plan for them. For example, staff use therapy play to support children's recent visits to their new school and visiting the doctor. This play supports children's emotional well-being.
The well-defined curriculum intent is clearly understood by staff as they listen to and follow children's conversations and interests. Staff are advocates for all children becoming effective learners. Staff are ambitious for children's achievements. They use their secure knowledge of children, and the skills and knowledge children need to learn next, to inform their plans to support children's development. All children progress well in their learning.
Staff work hard to support children to learn the social skills that are needed to interact successfully. Children receive extensive praise and warmth for their achievements. This helps to support their confidence and resilience and gives them a positive sense of their own identity and independence.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to strengthen their teaching strategies to consistently challenge and extend children's learning.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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.
