My 2 year old son Roman started at Tall Trees at around 9 months. He absolutely loves it. Staff are very experienced and have been a great help in guiding me with little tips to assist in dealing with the usual toddler behaviour. It’s lovely when he comes home knowing a new animal noise or dance moves to a song. Even lovelier when one of his little friends calls out for him in the local cafe and me and their mum get talking! Yep, highly recommended!

All three of our children have been to/are still going to Tall Trees. I cannot fault the staff for their enthusiasm, fun and dedication to the children. The outside element is second to none, the Montessori teachings are true to their founder and helps children develop into confident and capable young people. There really was no choice for us when choosing a nursery. Tall trees has delivered in every way and has given (and still gives our youngest), the best introduction to nursery care and learning there is. Thank you :)

My son has been going to Tall Trees for 8 months, since he turned one and he absolutely loves it. The carers are so kind and keep you very well informed. The daily email updates include photos and details of activities, naps, food and nappy changes. I feel my son has developed a lot since attending and I feel confident he is well looked after and in the best place when I drop him off.

I can highly recommend Tall trees, absolutely fantastic nursery! My boy started in the babies room after the lockdowns, having spent his whole life in lockdown and being my first child I was so nervous about sending him off to nursery, but from the first moment I spoke to Emma and her team I felt at ease. Every member of staff are super helpful, know you by name, smiley, approachable people and most of all they all treat the children as if they are there own. The app for updates everyday is kept up to date and amazing for parents like me who are super anxious. My boy loves it in the toddler room now (he’s learning so much!) and I cannot wait for my daughter to join to do the same. Tall trees is like a second family. A huge thank you to all the hard working staff!

We feel so lucky with our choice of Tall Trees. Our daughter settled very quickly and the staff have always filled us with great confidence of the quality of care they provide. It’s lovely hearing our daughter tell us all about the fun she’s had and the yummy food too. Highly recommend if you’re looking for childcare in Frome.
