They also provide breakfast and after-school clubs, as well as holiday clubs during half terms and summer holidays, to accommodate various parental schedules.

Our ethos
Maytime Montessori Nursery is dedicated to providing a fun, challenging, and safe environment where children can grow and learn. We encourage self-esteem and self-confidence through the Montessori Method, which involves interactive play and encouragement for your child through the day. The Montessori approach differs from traditional education as students are allowed to choose from a range of presented activities, following their own interests within a structured environment, using the “discovery” model to explore the world around them through practical play. It operates with a respect for the natural psychological, physical, and social development of your child to develop skills and self-esteem.

The most amazing nursery ⭐️ My son absolutely loves his time spent at Maytime. He settled in with all the children and staff quickly. The staff are so loving and supportive. They are very approachable and have always been there to answer any of my questions. I couldn’t ask for a better environment for my son to be in. Thank you so much Maytime ❤️
Read on GoogleI cannot express how grateful I am to have found Maytime Montessori Nursery for my son. When I first began searching for a nursery, I was filled with apprehension and guilt about leaving him at such a young age of just 10 months. However, from the very first day, it became clear to me that I had made the right decision. My son has felt safe and nurtured in an environment that prioritizes his well-being and growth. The teachers at Maytime Montessori are nothing short of amazing. They have introduced my son to experiences and learning opportunities that I could have never provided at home. Each day, I witness my son’s confidence blossom as he learns new things, thanks to the dedicated guidance of his teachers. I especially want to highlight the incredible efforts of Frankie, Ramata, Jade, Amy, and Faye. But there are many more all wonderful from kitchen staff to teachers to management. Their commitment to nurturing each child is truly commendable. One memorable moment that stands out to me is from the Christmas concert. My son, filled with excitement, was set to perform a solo piece. However, when it was his turn, he crumbled and began to cry. Just as I was about to rush to him, Faye swooped in with her comforting embrace, reassuring him that it was okay. It was heartwarming to see how she provided him with the safety and warmth that every child needs in moments of uncertainty. Additionally, there have been times when my son has felt anxious about being left at nursery. Amy has always been there with open arms, offering him a big hug that felt just like a mother’s. Knowing that he is cared for in such a loving way makes all the difference in the world to me as a parent. If you are looking for a nursery that combines educational excellence with the warmth and nurturing atmosphere that children thrive in, I wholeheartedly recommend Maytime Montessori Nursery. It has been a wonderful experience for my son, and I am excited to see him continue to grow in such a supportive environment.

It’s always very daunting choosing a nursery especially for your first child however they have always been very welcoming and very open and honest, giving my son the best opportunity to grow and that shows in his development. Any feedback I’ve had has been taken on board and I have always felt very involved, not only with my sons growth and development but also with the going’s on at the nursery as a whole. My son is extremely happy there and has built a great bond with the staff and other children and that is testament to the team that work together there.
Read on GoogleMy two sons, Israfeel and Mekaeel have attended this nursery. It's absolutely fantastic! The staff are very friendly, helpful and professional, the service is great and my children thoroughly enjoy their time there. The activities are creative and engaging and relate directly to social and cognitive development. Starting nursery can be a difficult time for both children and parents, however the staff here made the transition period pass smoothly by being supportive and great with the children. Both my sons look forward to coming here and that really puts me at ease. I would definitely recommend this nursery!
