I am currently considering Oakfields Montessori (Upminster), Woodlands School (Great Warley Brentwood) and Brentwood School (nursery) for my son. My DD will be 3 years old when he starts. I am unsure about both. I would like advice on all three schools and your experiences as well.

I have been to visit them and Woodlands is my favourite because of the small classes and all the extra activities, however there fee is quite a lot and a major difference in comparison to the rest.

I am logger heads and would appreciate some advice on experience and on the schools.

Thanks

Hi @twinnie13,

Just came across this thread. In the same boat as you were last year. Just wanted to know what decision you went with and what the process was like. I'm currently registered with Brentwood and Woodlands. And have an assessment with Brentwood next week.
Thanks

Hi @BukiP, I'm in the same situation as you - what have you decided? The fees between Brentwood/Woodlands and then Oakfields are quite significantly different. Perhaps we could exchange details as I'm desperate to hear other views!

Hi @SherryphaA
I went for Brentwood school, so neither of the ones you’ve mentioned.
