Message from Principal Emma Gowers Welcome to The Gower School
Welcome to The Gower School, which I founded in 2000.
It was wonderful for our independent school’s work to be rated once again as Outstanding and Excellent in every category. Our Montessori Nursery and Primary school teach academic, social and other valuable skills to last a lifetime. Our goal is to cultivate girls and boys who are confident, happy all-rounders with a love of learning.

Both of my children attended this nursery, and I honestly couldn’t recommend it more highly. The team is consistently professional, yet it always feels like leaving your children with family — every child is known by name and treated with such genuine care, warmth and affection. The staff regularly go above and beyond, and most recently we were completely blown away by Mr Wilson and the whole team in Miss Ebru’s room. An exceptional environment where children truly feel loved and supported.

TGS is an outstanding nursery. Miss Klaudia and her team
in the LPL room are fantastic—so warm, energetic, and genuinely passionate about what they do.
Our toddler is incredibly well cared for and has such a great time each day that she never wants to leave! It’s reassuring to know she’s in such a nurturing and supportive environment.
We would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for high-quality, all-round childcare.

An exceptional Montessori nursery with outstanding teachers, a warm family-like community, and an environment where children truly flourish. We could not recommend The Gower School more highly.
The nursery embodies the very best of Montessori education, encouraging independence, curiosity, and confidence through purposeful activities. It has been wonderful to see how this approach has helped our child grow into such a capable and well-rounded little person.
The teachers are exceptional — warm, nurturing, and deeply invested in each child’s development. We also greatly value the regular observations and parent–teacher reviews, which provide thoughtful insight into our child’s progress and helpful guidance for supporting learning at home.
Our child has made wonderful friends, and we have met fantastic families too. The sense of community the school creates is truly special.
We feel incredibly grateful for the care, encouragement, and education our child has received. The ethos, culture, and teaching at The Gower School are second to none.

We have been blown away by the Gower Nursery. The teaching staff are incredibly caring, attentive and professional. Staff turnover is very low (especially compared to our old nursery!) which speaks volumes about the way the Gower nursery is run and the continuity certainly provides a stable environment for the little ones to thrive in.
We sent our eldest to the preschool room (she’s now at Gower primary school and loving it) and after that experience we decided to send our other daughter to the Gower, starting in the baby room. Even though it’s logistically very tricky from where we live, we feel it’s well, well worth it for the incredible start she’ll get in life. Cannot recommend highly enough!

We were so nervous about starting our 10 month old son at nursery, but he settled in so quickly and has absolutely loved Gower since his very first day! It is very apparent that every member of staff cares greatly for each child and you can see how happy all of the children there are. Our son has already developed and learnt so much in the 6 months he has been there and we are so grateful to Gower for taking such wonderful care of our little man.

We are extremely satisfied with our experience at the TGS! This nursery is very good, and we've been thrilled with how much our son is learning. The teachers are truly wonderful—they are kind, dedicated, and clearly passionate about the children's development. Our son is constantly picking up new things and skills. We absolutely love it here and highly recommend it!

My daughter attended the Gower Nursery in 2021-2023, since then we had to move to a different area and then moved abroad, we changed and tried several nurseries and schools, but the Gower is still our absolute favourite. Feeling so blessed to have had this incredible experience with a nursery. We would never have changed to a different nursery, if we had the choice.
Sending a big hello from Ivy and her parents to the whole Gower Nursery team!!!! All the best!

First class nursery for the 5 years+ that we have had kids there. A very warm and nurturing environment filled with all the care and character you want. The best we have ever come across.

We feel incredibly blessed to have found The Gower School - Montessori Nursery! From day one, the staff has been nothing short of amazing. All of the teachers are true professionals — caring, kind and enthusiastic — with a genuine passion for teaching (not only children but their parents as well. We found their lectures and courses very useful). Core day activities, music, ballet, sports, forest school, French - everything is excellent.
They go above and beyond to ensure that each child is not only happy and comfortable but also continuously progressing. We are grateful for how supportive they’ve been during the sometimes difficult settling-in process with our younger daughter, always providing patience and understanding.
It truly feels like they are part of our family.
We're especially grateful for the support the staff provided in helping our older daughter prepare for her 4+ assessments. Thanks, in large part, to their dedication and expertise, she was accepted into the top selective schools in North London.
A huge “thank you” to everyone at the nursery for taking such wonderful care of our precious children! I firmly believe this is the best nursery in London.
