Five Stars - A Wonderful Start for Our Little One! We couldn’t be happier with our experience at the Montessori Nursery in Littlewick Green. The staff are incredibly warm, professional, and genuinely invested in each child’s development. From the moment we walked in, we felt a sense of calm, care, and structure that immediately put us at ease. The Montessori approach has helped our child grow in confidence, independence, and curiosity. The classrooms are beautifully laid out and full of stimulating, purposeful activities. It’s clear that a lot of thought goes into creating a nurturing and enriching environment. Communication with parents is excellent, and we always feel informed and included. We’ve seen such positive changes in our little one since starting here, and we’re so grateful to have found this gem of a nursery. Highly recommended to any parent looking for a caring, high-quality early years setting.
Read on GoogleWe have had 2 children go through this nursery, and they have been fabulous throughout. The staff are lovely and really care for our kids, and there is low staff turnover (always a good sign!). Great location, with woods and village green nearby so they can have little outings. Large garden with plenty of sun and shade. They have prepared our children very well for school, with a great curriculum. Many people near us have switched from other nurseries to Littlewick Green. We will be sad to say goodbye when our youngest 'graduates' !
Read on GoogleOur son started this nursery less than a year ago and we have already seen a tremendous and positive change in his development. His personal, social and emotional development alongside his communication and language skills have improved. Forest school,Morning walks to the fields are the part of their routine. We are very fortunate our son is being taught by highly qualified teachers with 15 years plus of experience. We would highly recommend this nursey.
Read on GoogleMy son has loved his time at Little Graduates! The teachers are so caring and kind. They learn such interesting things — I am always amazed at the topics they cover, and the way the teachers manage to make everything so fun. A lovely setting as well, with a big garden in a beautiful, quiet village. Highly recommend!
Read on GoogleOur 2 kids have attended this nursery since they were only a few months old. It’s clear to us it’s a really safe, loving and beautiful setting. There’s a calm and fun environment. Classrooms are orderly and there’s a lot of active learning (especially in the eldest class) and outdoor play. For the older ones, a lot of the craft and sit-down activities take place outside under a canopy which seems to work well. There’s little staff turnover, and I think the management team are really strong, and personally know every child. It seems like all kids settle well there, and it’s a place they’re happy to be in. Occasionally there’s trips to the village green, church and farmer’s field, mostly for the older ones. The outside play space is a bit tired looking but I don’t think the kids care.
