Montys has been single-handedly the best experience we could have ever wished for our boys. The staff is beyond brilliant, the food incredible and organic, and the community of parents so diverse and supportive. I remember walking in there the first time. As soon i entered the gardens, i knew i was at the right place: happy kids were playing in the mud kitchen, blowing bubbles, watering plants sliding down slides or just running around, they were all just gleaming. And the staff was so caring and knew exactly how to look after them. The team leading the nursery, is phenomenal, they just have a great sense of picking the right people for their team and manage Montys with skill and care, making it feel like a big family. Having Montys and the people who make it in our life for almost 6 years was absolutely brilliant. We knew it at all times that our boys are safe, happy and they are learning every day. Each kid is different, and the team just had a brilliant sense to help all of them to get involved, try new things and learn new skills, independence, bringing out their best talents. Even after our boys have left the nursery, we still feel part of the community and not only boys, but us parents have also found brilliant friends.
Read on GoogleMy son has just graduated from Monty’s and is doing so well in reception, thanks to the amazing start he got at the nursery. I’m so grateful that both he and his sister have been part of such a happy, nurturing environment since they were one year old. The structured routine, delicious meals, fun activities, and trips are all fantastic — but it’s the wonderful teachers and staff that really make Monty’s special. They are an exceptional team!
Read on GoogleOur two kids have attended Montys since they were one, and it’s been an exceptional experience - a true home away from home. The team’s experience, knowledge, kindness, and dedication are second to none, creating a nurturing environment where kids thrive. Ours have been incredibly happy and were well-prepared for school when the time came. I wholeheartedly recommend Montys to any parent, and every family we know who’s sent their child there shares the same enthusiasm for this outstanding team. Last but by no means least, I must mention the office efficiency and food they make for the kids too. Eternally grateful for the Montys family. I just wish they didn’t have to grow up!
Read on GoogleNice small nursery with good all round care and facilities from under one upwards. Our grandson enjoys his time at nursery and has come on in leaps and bounds. The children do multiple activities and are taught and cared for well. Four star as sleep time could be improved with wipe clean mats than on the floor or alternative bedding?
Read on GoogleTruly amazing nursery! My child is so happy there, he races to the gate every morning! I cannot rate it more. The staff are wonderful, and the facilities/food looks amazing. I love that they go on day trips to exciting places, have music and PE teachers visit weekly and have a great space to play in!
