Parents say

Starting Point Montessori was recommended by a lot of locals to us. The repeating pattern of recommendation was how much the children love Joan, and how great she is with the children in her care.  Conor loves going to preschool and he talks about Joan and Maria a lot. He is learning loads and has socially grown over the last few months. The school displays a weekly sheet of what is being covered for parents. Outdoor play also included during the day when suitable. Joan is very approachable, accommodating, helpful, flexible and friendly. Would recommend Starting Point Montessori School.

I think Starting Point has given my twins the best possible start. My son took a little time to settle in initially and there was never any pressure put on him. This was so important for all of us. There is a warm caring atmosphere in the school and the kids are really listened to. Both my kids are so happy there and barely look back when they’re dropped off!

Zoe joined Starting Point last September and  has settled in very well. She never has a problem getting out of bed on a school morning! Zoe has come on leaps and bounds – Barbara-Anne

My two daughters have attended starting point and the two of them were very happy every day going to school to Joan and her team. They have very different personalities, and Joan recognised their talents and potential. She nurtured this and helped them to reach all their developmental milestones. It’s always very professional, but there’s also a very personal touch at Joan’s school and it makes for a special playschool experience – for the child and the parent – Vickie

My little boy is in Starting Point for 2 years now. Never heard from him that he doesn’t want to go to school. Why? Because he loves his fantastic teachers. Who are professionals, and amazingly kind. In the school everything is about the children. Different children – different ways to teach them. The teachers have many years of experience, want to improve more, learn more, to make the kids happier and smarter. I’m very happy with everything. The best place in a surrounding area. 🙂 – Emese

Alicia loves going to school. Every day she tells me all about what she learns and all the fun she has had over the past two and a half years she has been there. She has learnt so much and developed so well. I am currently due another child and 100% I will be sending him/her to this playschool also. Joan, thank you for everything  – Aneeka

Eve loves going to ‘Joans’! She settled in instantly and really enjoys all the activities. It’s a superb school with a great ethos and all the staff are so friendly – Emer O’Regan

We would thoroughly recommend Starting Point Montessori. We have sent both our kids there and have seen them both thrive and develop during their time there. They always skip in the door and are enthusiastic. Joan and her team are professional, warm and so positive in their approach to both parents and the children alike – Anna

Joan and her brilliant team of teachers are always so welcoming and my two kids love going there. The atmosphere is always so friendly and happy in the school. Each day they are full of great stories of learning and having fun with their friends. I have noticed their understanding and learning has come on in leaps and bounds. I would highly recommend Starting Point Montessori School – Ger

Joan is a very reliable and understanding person. She helped my children through very tough times. Ever since my child has attended the school I’ve seen a huge improvement, thanks to Joan. Joan is a very experienced women in all aspects. I’m advising parents to send their children to Joan’s school, she is a very trustworthy women, you are going to enjoy a memorable experience – Maria
