We are incredibly appreciative of MMI Day Nursery and all the staff. They were so accommodating in offering my daughter a place at very short notice last year, and from the first moment they have been absolutely fantastic. My daughter hadn't been settling at her previous nursery, so the transition was quite stressful for us. However, MMI made the whole enrolling and settling in process feel effortless. The nursery is very well managed, with amazing communication throughout, and the team have been incredibly supportive and understanding, which really put us at ease. Most importantly, all the staff are genuinely lovely, loving, and caring. My daughter has settled beautifully and is such a happy little soul there, which means the world to us. I am incredibly grateful for everything they've done and wouldn't hesitate to recommend MMI to other families.

Excellent nursery. My daughter has attended for over two years and has developed tremendously. Caring and professional staff, a safe and welcoming environment. Highly recommended.

My son is in the Baby Room at MMI Preschools, and I am beyond impressed. The room leader, Lori, is absolutely wonderful—attentive, caring, and truly dedicated to the children's growth. The staff does an amazing job fostering independence, self-care, and emotional development in such a nurturing way. The rooms themselves are bright, spacious, and full of natural light, creating a cheerful and inviting atmosphere. The entire nursery feels warm and welcoming. Aleks, the manager, runs the place incredibly well, ensuring everything is smooth and organized. I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention my son receives at MMI Preschools!

Both my children have attended MMI and I cannot recommend this nursery more highly. My son joined at 2 when we moved to the area and stayed until he started in reception. He can be a little anxious in new settings but in no time, MMI became like a second home for him and he couldn’t wait to go every day. The Montessori setting meant that he was able to explore what interested him most, and he developed real interests and passions that have stayed with him into school. He also formed some very strong friendships that have lasted years after leaving, despite some of them going to different schools. My daughter started at 9 months old and will again stay until she starts school next year. At the gates, I barely get a kiss goodbye as she runs in to see her friends, (again she has a very close knit group that she sees socially as well) and she comes home each day with stories of the games she’s played and conversations she’s had. She is a much more fiery character than my son (hey there second child!), and can be quite stubborn and set in her ways, but all the staff have gone out of their way to try and accommodate her, especially when it comes to her fussy eating! She also had a severe dairy allergy when she started, and all the team were extremely cooperative in making sure that her needs were met to avoid flare ups, or manage them when they did. Across both my children I have seen that the staff care hugely about the children’s development, education and their sense of belonging. Mine have always felt incredibly safe there and MMI is clearly a place of fun and excitement for them. When my son first started, it was mid-Covid, and perhaps there was a little staff turnover - as all businesses had, but on the whole, many of the staff have been there for years and there is a lot of continuity for the children. They still come to say hello to my son when he’s at the gates picking my daughter up, and sometimes take him inside to find her, which he loves. Lastly, I also feel that MMI has a very fair sickness policy, much less harsh than I’ve seen at other nurseries, which means for working parents our lives aren’t too easily derailed, every time a new bug is picked up! I am so happy that I found MMI when I did, I can see that my children have both flourished there, and I’m extremely thankful to Aleks, who manages the nursery, and her wonderful team for all that they do to create such a warm and fostering environment.

Unfortunately, my experience here wasn't very positive. The manager lacks tact and was very insensitive when she called me in to discuss the possibility of my one-year-old child having autism (which we later found out he does). I also got the impression that the nursery doesn't have the capacity/capability to care for SEN children like mine. Staff turnover at the time (2+ years ago) was very high and it seemed as though my son had a new key worker every month. Ultimately, I ended up pulling him from MMI and found another local nursery who cared for and supported my boy right up to him starting a SEN school this month. The difference between both facilities and how they approach children with additional needs is like night and day. I wish I had sent my son to the 2nd nursery from the start.
