Haleh Haidari, Director

After years of building successful careers in both the advertising and fashion industries, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to take over New World Montessori Ltd as the sole owner and principal in 2005. I always wished for creating a safe environment where children have the freedom to express, explore their creativity, imagination, free will and to build upon their confidence and independence.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business and Economics. In 2002, after having my son, I gained and completed the International Montessori Degree, and further embarked on working as a freelance tutor for Montessori Centre International for 5 years in supporting future students along their Montessori journeys.

Having always been interested in the ways humans develop and behave, I obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology through the Open University. Most recently I have qualified as a Master Practitioner in Neuro Linguistic Programming and as a Life Coach. This has been the most exciting personal journey of self-discovery, change and self-development which I believe to be what children in our care will experience at New World Montessori.

I am super excited to show and welcome you to visit our two beautiful settings.

What Parents Say

My son attended New World Montessori at St Peter’s Church and I cannot speak more highly of this nursery and it’s staff. I recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking for a great place to send their toddlers.

The use of the tapestry app gave us a beautiful opportunity to see photos of our son learning and playing at nursery and also to see his development. We had regular updates on this and the staff provided lots of detail. As well as this, there was a weekly newsletter sent out via email so we were able to prepare our son for the week ahead. The principal is lovely and was very easy to get in contact with, she always responded quickly to emails. Haleh has a huge presence within the nursery and knows all of the children very well.

The staff are wonderful, kind, positive and energetic. They form great relationships with the children as well as the parents. We always had great communication with the nursery teachers and they went above and beyond to make us, as parents feel comfortable and supported without judgement. My son had a lot of separation anxiety when he first started which was very upsetting for me. But his key worker would always let myself or my husband know when he had settled down, which was usually as soon as I had left, this always put me at ease.

It was a difficult transition for both my son and myself when he first started but knowing that he was in the hand of such kind, understanding and caring people made it so much easier. My son formed great bonds with all of his teachers and would talk so much about all of the things he had learnt; he still talks about them now and misses them very much. We were all so sad when he had to leave but they prepared him so well for his next step to a school environment.

My son learnt so many independence skills and really enjoyed learning. The teachers made learning fun and meaningful to the children and gave them so many important life skills. The Montessori way of learning is so great for young children and I wish my son could have continued learning this way for longer.

I am deeply grateful from the bottom of my heart to all of the staff for being such an important part of my son's early life and genuinely have nothing but good things to say. We hope to send our daughter there as soon as she is old enough.

We couldn’t be happier with New World Montessori which is run by the wonderful Ms Haidari, it was definitely one of the best decisions we have made. We feel confident that our daughter has been given the best possible start to her life and that the education she has received will assist her in her future. A special and heartfelt thank you to Miss Kim. Our sincere gratitude to Miss Amalia and Miss Alison and the team. The attention to detail and love that my daughter received was so comforting to us that we would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to friends and family. Truly a first class organisation.

My daughter, Zoe, went to the New World Montessori Nursery at St Barnabas Church, Ealing for 2 years before leaving to start primary school. It is an amazing nursery - the teachers are so fun, supportive and caring and Zoe has blossomed into a confident, curious and chatty little girl.

The teachers noticed what Zoe showed an interest in and helped her explore what she enjoyed, as well as challenging her to try new things or practice activities that she felt less sure of. When she read books, she was asked questions and encouraged to voice her opinion; she always came home with paintings, drawings and models; she tried new foods and loved getting involved in chopping and preparing different ingredients; she did science experiments and learnt about the human body, the environment and the solar system. A great deal of care goes into all the activities on offer and the way that different topics are explored with the children.

The nursery also has a beautiful garden and, particularly in the warmer months, the kids spend a lot of time outside releasing energy and exploring nature. I cannot recommend the nursery highly enough - I am so grateful that Zoe had the opportunity to spend time in such a nurturing environment.

Sending our little 2 year old to New World Montessori Nursery was the best decision we made. Ms. Haleh and her outstanding team were genuinely warm and professional providing personalised attention and care in small groups.

They went out of their way to make our son feel welcomed and settled. The ethos is very much about learning through creative play, interacting with other children and letting the child explore and develop at his/her own pace, supplemented with extra curricular activities such as French, music & dance and yoga, which our son really enjoyed.

We highly recommend NWM and only wish our son could have stayed longer!

New World Montessori really is a home away from home. The teachers were wonderful for my daughter who was there for 2 years. By the time she started school she was very ready both in terms of recognising letters and numbers and socially.

I did not hesitate to enroll my son when he turned 2. It's a wonderful intimate nurturing environment, professionally run and all the kids always seem so happy! Highly recommend.
