About this early years setting

Hazel Tree Montessori Nursery Limited, located in Stockport, SK3 9NQ, welcomes children from five months to five years old. The nursery prioritises siblings of current attendees and full-time enrolments, operating on a first-come, first-served basis.

They require a non-refundable registration fee and a refundable deposit to confirm a place, with flexible settling-in sessions to ease the transition for children and parents. Fees are based on an annual calculation, resulting in consistent monthly payments due in advance on the first of each month.

The nursery is closed for bank holidays, the Christmas and New Year period, and up to four additional days for refurbishment, all of which are factored into the monthly fees. Hazel Tree Montessori also offers additional ad-hoc sessions based on availability, with a one-week cancellation notice requirement.

They provide a 5% discount for children attending full-time and a 10% discount for siblings.

Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection

parents say staff have worked tirelessly to cause minimum disruption to their children by keeping in touch on a weekly basis

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities make excellent progress. There are careful plans in place that are reviewed regularly to monitor their development. As a result, children who were once non-verbal are now communicating in sentences.

Outdoor space

Children are learning to take risks outdoors. Where physical development may have been affected by COVID-19 lockdowns, staff identify where children lack confidence and encourage lots of jumping and climbing. Children that were once hesitant approach large-scale equipment with vigour and confidence.
