Forever indebted to all the staff at Moseley Montessori. We first used this nursery 10 years ago for our daughter. We had such an amazing experience then that when our son was born and we needed the support of a nursery once again, there were absolutely no doubts in our minds about where to send our little prince. The staff are what make Moseley Montessori what it is. They are all genuinely caring and have a genuine interest in all the children in their care. I was amazed to see some friendly, familiar faces from when our daughter went to nursery- the fact that staff retention is superb is a credit to management. Management genuinely care about their staff and there is a strong focus on staff development. Thank you once again for all the love, respect, support and countless hugs you have given to our children over the years. We will genuinely miss seeing your smiley faces in the morning.
