While we are Singaporeans, our family has been based overseas for many years and my children are students at Guidepost (within Nest's HK network of schools). When we made plans to come back to Singapore, I was desperately in search of a school where we could continue the Montessori style of learning that our children have been accustomed to and flourished under in Hong Kong, with minimal disruptions. When we heard that Nest had opened in Singapore and at a location so close to our home, I was beyond delighted although a little hesitant as to how easily my children would be able to adjust to the environment at Nest. I had long heard about the differences in preschool systems between Hong Kong and Singapore. However, my fears were evidently unfounded. Even before we arrived, Ian and Ms Latha (the principal) very kindly walked me through the pedagogy and the onboarding process respectively and their confidence from the outset in turn gave me the confidence to take that leap of faith to enroll my children into Nest. They gave us the greatest assurance as to what we needed to prepare and expect during our children's transition to Nest and what we should expect in the coming days. But effectively, we only needed minimal preparations given the seamless transfer of apps and parenting tools that we already use in Hong Kong etc, conversations by both guides in Hong Kong and Singapore (sharing my children's academic progress, personalities and traits) and in turn, we had the best surprise of seeing our kids adjust almost instantly (save for some separation anxiety from my son who had only started school earlier this year, which quickly resolved after the first week). I was very impressed by the effort to ensure almost identical classroom environment and materials were, albeit with some local adjustments, which undoubtedly helped my children to settle in so quickly. What I greatly appreciated was also how where there are differences in scheduling/environment etc, Ms Latha was always open to having discussions on how (where reasonable), the school could accommodate our needs and if not, we could always have open conversations about the rationale behind the differences and how we could best help our children adjust to the changes. The entire Guidepost/Nest network teams have been beyond helpful and onboard with our children's roaming experience and it wasn't even 2 weeks that I felt both my children were fully assimilated into schooling life at Nest. All credits to the Guidepost and Nest teams for such a smooth roaming experience. I am already planning our next roaming and would strongly recommend it to the parents of my children's classmates at Guidepost and Nest!

We’re so grateful to have found this wonderful school for our son. The Principal and teachers form an incredibly warm, professional, and dedicated team. The Principal leads with both heart and clarity, showing true passion for early childhood education. Together with the caring, observant, and patient teachers, they’ve created a nurturing environment that gives us full confidence our child is in good hands.
Though our son took some time to adjust, we’ve seen small but meaningful progress each day. He’s gradually opening up, finding comfort, and gaining confidence in this beautifully prepared space.
We’re truly thankful for the amazing team who treat every child like their own. It’s a nurturing and supportive space that reflects the true essence of early childhood care—especially with the Montessori values we deeply appreciate.
Highly recommended for any parent looking for a loving and respectful place for their little one to grow and thrive. ?

He has not only grown academically but also socially and emotionally. The classroom is neat and well organised. The outdoor playground is spacious.
The teachers are truly outstanding- warm, dedicated, caring, enthusiastic and genuinely invested to each child’s progress. Communication with teachers through school app are also easy and transparent, so we always feel informed and assured.
A special thanks to all the teachers of Nest UBI. I love Nest UBI ❤️!!!
