We have been with Little Panda Montessori House, run by Hui An, from 2017 until 2025, and in that time all three of my children have grown up there. It has truly been an extraordinary experience and an extension of our family.

As a new parent with my eldest, Selim, I was guided and supported beyond childcare — the care and understanding I received helped me as much as it helped him. Selim loved it so much he would cry after holidays asking to go back. My second, Amir, full of curiosity, was given daily challenges and responsibilities that gave him purpose and joy. I still remember his first day at school, when he proudly came back to show Hui his uniform. And my youngest, Noora, our family’s princess, was always cherished with tea parties, fancy dresses, and endless encouragement — growing into a confident young girl shaped by Hui’s love and Montessori approach.

Two of my children overlapped there at a time — first Selim and Amir, then Amir and Noora — and the individual care, professionalism, and warmth shown to each of them was remarkable. They have all left happy, confident, and beautifully prepared for their next steps.

What makes Little Panda Montessori House stand out is not only the love and care but the extraordinary standards maintained every single day. The meals were always freshly home-cooked and nutritious, giving the children such a healthy start. The level of cleanliness was consistently spotless, which gave us so much peace of mind as parents. Activities were always carefully planned, with each week mapped out in advance, ensuring variety and balance. New toys and resources were constantly introduced, keeping the children engaged, inspired, and excited to come back each day. Every detail was thought through with professionalism and dedication, creating an environment that was safe, stimulating, and full of joy.

And while Hui herself has always been the consistent, steady heart of the setting, over the years there have been some changes in assistants. Yet every single time, Hui has carefully chosen the right people — those who fit the atmosphere, embraced the Montessori ethos, and genuinely shared her deep love and respect for children. She has never failed to surround the children with staff who were not just capable, but truly passionate and aligned with her values.

This is far more than childcare — it is a place where children are genuinely loved, respected, and supported to flourish. I could not recommend it more highly.
