Mount Carmel Kindergarten - Kinder Lodge

He LOVES cookery on Wednesdays. He's always very excited to tell us about his day and what he's learnt. We love how family-oriented Mount Carmel is. Thank you all at Mount Carmel for a great first term :)

Our two-year old son has been attending Mount Carmel nursery for the past four months, and we are very happy with the experience. The staffare excpetionally competent in child pedagogyvand combine their professional experience with genuine warmth, attentiveness and flexibility. They have created a truly nurturing, family-like environment that has been supporting our son's development and confidence. He is always happy to attend Mount Carmel's! We are very grateful for the care and dedication of the team and would highly recommend Mount Carmel nursery to any parent.

Mount Carmel (MC) is an outstanding pre-school. We sent our daughter there, and they nurtured her into being school-ready, confident, and caring. It was therefore a no-brainer for our son to join too.

I don't think there is another pre-school in the area with the same reputation for preparing little ones for the transition to "big school." They have exceptional resources, including access to outdoor space for country walks, an indoor gym, and an excellent, varied holiday club. Both our son and daughter run into Mount Carmel completely happy and at ease with everyone. The whole ethos of MC is supportive and kind.

Our children developed educationally, physically, and emotionally. The staff truly care, and MC benefits from excellent leadership and a dedicated team. They are well connected with local state and private schools and were pivotal in helping us decide on, and prepare our daughter for, the 3+ assessment. I cannot recommend MC highly enough - they are a cut above the rest!

I've honestly had such a reassuring and positive experience. From the beginning, I could see how comfortable and happy my child felt, which meant a lot to me. The enviornment is calm and welcoming, and the way the team supports the children shows real care and understanding. I really appreciate the weekly updates and photos - they help me feel connected to what my child is learning and experiencing. I've noticed so much growth in confidence and independence and social skills and it's clear that the activities are both fun and meaningful. It's a lovely feeling to see my child excited to go in each morning, and I'm truly grateful for the warmth and support we've experienced.

I can't say enough positive things about Mount Carmel and everyone who works there. Both my children attended and absolutely flourished under their attentive care. The environment they have created is so lovely - loads of amazing activities, resources, and different spaces for the children to explore and enjoy. It's so much better than any other nursery we've experienced..I don't know how they do it!

We absolutely love Mount Carmel Nursery. Our son runs in smiling every morning, which says everything. All of the teachers are so warm, friendly and genuinely caring, you can feel how much they love what they do. The nursery itself is bright, clean and welcoming, and the environment feels both calm and full of joy. We've seen our son grow in confidence and happiness since joining, and we couldn't be more grateful for the amazing team here. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing, supportive and truly special place.

After the most incredible experience during the two years our son spent at Mount Carmel, there was no question that our daughter would follow in his footsteps. It's always hard to know if you're making the right choice for your child, particularly their first child care setting but I can absolutely say, without doubt, we got this decision very right. We knew this very early on with the love and support the staff give each family but we have also now seen first hand what a difference it made with the school transition. That is testament to the outstanding environment the staff create, through family support,child development and wonderful experiences for many occasion.They do everything SO brilliantly as Gabriella and her team think of every tiny detail. Just truly amazing! PSA - you will requested tissues for sports day/nativity/Graduation! I will always give ourselves a BIG pat on the back for deciding to send our children to MCK.

Mount Carmel is a wonderful place with a great energy. The staff greet my son and I every morning with a big smile. I leave him each day totally satisfied that he will have a brilliant and fun filled day.

We are so grateful for Mount Carmel. Our daughter is so excited to go to Kindergarten every morning and that is a testament to the amazing staff and the loving and nurturing environment they have created. Every day there is a different activity from arts and crafts to baking. The facilities are exceptional and Kinderlodge has such a warm welcoming feel, it is also very clean and all the toys are in great condition. The communication from the staff is excellent, we receive a weekly detailed observation which is a highlight of our week. Her teachers will always make the time at drop off or collection to update you or greet you each day. Our daughter is so happy and confident and has made lovely friends. Thank you to the staff and management team for all your efforts. We really appreciate it and so happy this is our daughter's first introduction to education what an amazing first stepping stone. Mount Carmel is exceptional.

Across the past 8 years we have had our 3 children attend Mount Carmel Kindergarten and not yet have we seen anywhere that could compare. It has been the best start for them, they have learnt so much, had so much fun and built friendships that have carried them through the toddler years to, in the case of our eldest, now starting secondary school. Perhaps most importantly, they left Mount Carmel aware of how to treat others and of how they should be treated in return. The adults at Mount Carmel model great relationships and that has helped our children navigate the challenges of school very well. Mount Carmel Kindergarten is the best decision we have made for them.

Mount Carmel Kindergarten provide the perfect transition from nursery to 'big school'. My son thrives in routine and they have helped him understand the difference between nursery to pre-school which has reduced my anxiety about how he will cope when he joins reception. They have identified what works specifically for him and have put in place a visual timetable to help him understand how his day will progress. He loves books and is very keen to learn to read so they have encouraged this and introduced some books to develop his reading skills further. My son runs in each morning happy to be returning to such a fun and nurturing environment and in the evening he asks to go back to see his friends. What more could a working parent wish for?!

We already decided that we would like our baby boy to attend Mount Carmel once he's old enough. Couldn't recommend it more.

We couldn't be happier with the care and support our child receives and would highly recommend MCK to any parent looking for a nurturing and stimulating environment for their little one.

Moving our son to Mount Carmel Kindergarten was the best decision we ever made. Our son was happy at his previous daycare and we thought weren't going to change, but we quickly changed our mind after a visit to Mount Carmel Kindergarten. We love the way Mount Carmel Kindergarten set up the classes and their approach to learning, the environment is inviting and engaging. Our son is thriving there! He loves going to see his friends and teachers every day, and he would tell us how much he misses everyone during the holidays. Our son has grown not just in confidence, but in self-awareness and accountability. All thanks to the teachers, they are all lovely and always ready to support the parents. I am definitely going to send our youngest there next year!

Our daughter loves going to Mount Carmel, she is definitely in an environment where she can thrive.

We have seen our child grow into the happy, confident, smart and curious adventurer that he is. He’s been constantly guided to become the best version of himself, which we can’t thank the staff at Mount Carmel enough for.

I especially like the gym and cooking sessions they have introduced at this age which make them aware of life's important things. The staff are really helpful and caring. They take good care of our son. I'd highly recommend this nursery.

Our daughter is so happy about attending Mount Carmel and never complains when it is a nursery day. The staff are very warm and friendly, and Kinder Lodge provides a modern, clean environment for learning with great outdoor space. We are so happy with the nursery!

We are extremely fortunate to have our daughter attend Mount Carmel Kindergarten - Kinder Lodge. The facilities are second to none, staff are experienced, welcoming and friendly, giving us regular updates on our child’s progress and development. Activities go beyond what one would expect from a nursery - everything from weekly cooking lessons, to visits from a petting zoo, to pumpkin carving, to scooter racing, it's simply outstanding. The nursery’s structured routine and unique uniform prepares children well for starting school. We’ve had the most wonderful experience with both our eldest and our youngest child at Mount Carmel and could not recommend this nursery enough.

A big thank you to all the team!
