MMI Day Nursery Croydon
from F P (Mother of Child) published on 26 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We've had a consistently positive experience with MMI. Our child has been here since the baby room and is now in toddler room, and the continuity in approach has made a real difference. The Montessori pedagogy is not a marketing label and it runs throughout the setting. Even in the baby and toddler

rooms, staff encourage independence at an age-appropriate level, use real materials, and support concentration rather than constantly interrupting or overstimulating. I can already see that my child chooses work independently, takes responsibility for their environment, and engages in practical life activities.
Staff communicate clearly and raise any developmental or social concerns early and without defensiveness. The environment is calm, orderly, and well-prepared, which supports focus and self-regulation, but it never feels cold or rigid, and the team are warm, patient, and genuinely attentive to each child. Our child has become more confident, sociable, and self-motivate! Many thanks MMI

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending for over two years and has developed enormously during this time. The staff are caring, professional, and genuinely dedicated to the children's well-being and development. The environment is safe, welcoming, and well-organised, and the children are happy and engaged every

day. Highly recommended.

Overall Experience

Absolutely wonderful nursery. My child has needed one-2-one support to feel safe and he has had that in abundance. He has thrived and grown so much since attending MMI. We love the staff and the nurturing environment so much so that we are sending our second to MMI soon. It is also the only nursery

we found that was impeccably clean and washed their rugs!! I've only got one point for improvement - it's their late fees. Most nurseries have a 15 min grace period and MMI doesn't have this. So if you're late, they charge you £1 for every minute you're late for pick up. This minor point aside, I still choose to send my children here because as an educational establishment, I value them highly! Thank you, MMI.

Reply from Aleksandra Garaloska, Manager at MMI Day Nursery CroydonThank you for sharing your positive experience with MMI Nursery. It's wonderful to hear that your child has thrived with their one-to-one support and that you appreciate the nurturing environment and cleanliness. Thank you for your feedback regarding our late fee policy. Our staff works on scheduled shifts, and late pick-ups require them to stay beyond their designated hours, impacting their time and our operational costs. Therefore, to ensure fairness and maintain our high-quality care, we implemented late fee changes.

Overall Experience

Our daughter joined the nursery when she was One & half year old and the nursery has made such a positive impact on her, and it's wonderful to see how well she's adapted and thrived there! It's amazing how much young children can learn and grow in such an environment, especially when they have supportive,

caring teachers. It must feel great to see her improving in communication and bringing what she's learned into daily life. MMI really is a special place for her!

Reply from Aleksandra Garaloska, Manager at MMI Day Nursery CroydonThank you for sharing your daughter's journey with us at MMI Nursery. We're delighted to see her thriving and integrating her new communication skills into daily life. Our dedicated team is committed to fostering such growth, and your kind words affirm our efforts.

I couldn't be happier with our experience at MMI Croydon! The staff in the baby room are absolutely wonderful, so caring, attentive, and genuinely loving towards the little ones. It's clear they enjoy what they do, and it makes me feel at ease knowing my baby is in such good hands.
The management of

the nursery is fantastic, always approachable and supportive, and they've created such a warm and welcoming environment. I also love getting the daily updates, its' so lovely to see what she's been up to.
A big thank you to everyone for making it such a happy place for our little one!

Overall Experience

Our daughter started in the baby room and is now in the toddler room. Our youngest will be starting in the baby room in September. We are extremely happy with the nursery. Our daughter really settled quickly, now she runs in. She has learnt so much and is always bringing home things she has made in

the daily activities. There's good communication between teachers and parents and lots of events to attend so you feel a part of the nursery community. All the teachers and staff are lovely and you can see they really care about the children. The facilities are great, the space and the rooms are bright and welcoming. We are very happy and have recommended it to others.

Reply from Aleksandra Garaloska, Manager at MMI Day Nursery CroydonThank you so much for your lovely feedback! We're so happy to hear that your daughter has settled in well and that you feel part of the nursery community. We look forward to welcoming your youngest in September!

Overall Experience

The most lovely nursery in the area. The teachers are lovely, always supporting my child. The settling in went smoothly and my child is happy to go to the nursery every morning. The Montessori approach gives children so much freedom and independence. And the garden is just huge, and safety all covered

with grass.

Overall Experience

I am regularly dropping off and collecting my grandson as his parents are both working. Such a lovely and welcoming environment. My grandson loves running inside, shouting bye bye nanna. He did cry for the setting in but the ladies confirmed him and it was all gone in a week time. Massive outdoor garden

is a bonus!

Overall Experience

My child has attended this educational and childhood preschool that follows the Montessori methodology as well as the Early years foundation stage. The manager and the staff are currently so focused and appreciative of each child's well-being. Happy to say that my little one is in secure and safe hands!
The

amazing outdoor space is a bonus as you don't always find a nursery with this massive outdoor in the middle of the park.

Overall Experience

My two children, ages 3 and 1, attend this nursery 5 days a week. My oldest has been attending little over 2 years at this nursery. It is a wonderful nursery that I often highly recommend to parents. The staff are amazing, really look after the children and care for them greatly to make them feel safe

and at home. It's more than a place for children to spend time in, there is an ethos of learning through play and children grow and develop wonderfully through this continuous work that the staff do with them. Everything from learning to eat with cutlery, to reading and loving books, using various tools, and putting on their own coats and shoes, to name a few things. Both my children love going and always talk about their peers and staff with affection. The staff use an external catering company that is great and serves fresh food, menu always looks very good. Facilities are great, outdoor space good, given 4 stars due to lack of nature access, there are great toys but no grass, trees.

Reply from Aleksandra Garaloska, Manager at MMI Day Nursery CroydonThank you for taking the time to review our nursery! We're thrilled to hear your kind words and appreciate your feedback about our outdoor space.

MMI has been great for our son. The staff are caring, considerate and very focussed on the children. They make an effort to understand the kids holistically and share tips on how to help overcome challenges outside of nursery too. We have recommended the nursery to several close friends, and wouldn't

hesitate in recommending others too.

We decided to send our daughter to MMI on the strength of the testimonies of several friends who send their children there and our impression after meeting the nursery manager, seeing the facilities and learning about the MMI approach.
We are so pleased with our decision and can see that our daughter

is thriving in this environment, is well cared for and enjoys herself. The staff are friendly and accessible, communication is excellent and we feel involved as parents.
We are very happy with the Montessori ethos and the nursery itself so would definitely recommend it to any parents looking to send their child there.

Overall Experience

I'm happy with this nursery because I've seen a big change in my daughter. She developed even more her talking specifically English language. She's become more independent and wants to do everything herself. And I'm very happy because she's a very happy and bright kid and I think most of these changes

are due to the nursery.

Reply from Aleksandra Garaloska, Manager at MMI Day Nursery CroydonThank you for your wonderful feedback! It's fantastic to hear about the progress your daughter has made, especially with her English and growing independence.

Overall Experience

I highly recommend MMI Nursery.
My son joined at 2 and stayed until he started school. He can be anxious in new settings but MMI was like a 2nd home for him and he couldn't wait to go in. The Montessori setting meant he could explore what interested him and he developed interests and passions that

have stayed with him. He also formed very strong friendships that have lasted years after leaving. My daughter started at 9 months and will stay until school. At the gates, I barely get a goodbye as she runs in to see her friends and she comes home each day with stories of the games she's played and conversations she's had. She can be quite stubborn but all the staff have gone out of their way to try to accommodate her, especially her fussy eating! She had a severe dairy allergy when she started and the team were extremely cooperative in making sure her needs were met to avoid or manage flare-ups.
I'm very thankful to the manager and her wonderful team for all they do to create such a warm and fostering environment.

Reply from Aleksandra Garaloska, Manager at MMI Day Nursery CroydonThank you so much for sharing your lovely experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that both your son and daughter feel so at home here. Watching them grow, build friendships, and develop their unique interests is such a joy for our team. We're especially glad we could support your daughter's needs, from her dietary requirements to nurturing her independence. Your kind words mean a lot, and we're grateful to be a part of your family's journey. Regards MMI Team

My daughter has attended MMI for almost 2 years now, the staff and management are great and their approach towards the overall development of the child is amazing. I have seen my daughter become independent in the tasks and is now ready to start her school in September 2024. I am truly grateful to the

whole staff, and a special shout out to one staff member in particular whom my daughter just adores. Thanks team for helping me with my parenthood journey!

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at MMI for one year now and I genuinely don't think you can find anything better than MMI (having also come from another nursery). From the manager to every single member of staff, the facilities, the support and communication, everything is fantastic. They really know how to keep

the focus on the children and don't get lost in frivolous stuff, they keep communication short, confident, informative and they lead the way. I am so grateful for the comfort of knowing how well my child is looked after and how much she enjoys nursery. Settling in was easy and over a year she has flourished enormously; even joining the preschool class more recently has been such an easy transition. Also, parents can get involved in plenty of activities and I love that! I can't recommend MMI enough!
