Extremely happy with this nursery. My daughter has really came out of her shell since starting in December. She really has turned into a social butterfly. Her appetite and willingness has really improved which is amazing and super helpful. I love all the staff, everyone is so friendly and really care about all of the children.

Review of Townsend Montessori Nursery Maidstone from Dominika C (Mother of Child) published on 29 April 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The nursery has been very accomodating. Both our little ones really enjoy coming here, they have been especially great with the youngest (1 1/2 when joined) in helping him settle in, and make sure we were comfortable too along the way. Only criticism I have is that there are things that are overlooked or not perhaps communicated properly. I've asked for the app to be looked into since September as I only get access to one child and its promised to be fixed and still isn't.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Townsend Montessori Nursery Maidstone

We are delighted to read how much both of your children enjoy their time at our nursery and that your youngest was so well supported in settling in. We're sorry to hear about the ongoing issue with the app, and we understand how important it is for staying connected to your child's day. Please bear with us while this is being resolved.

Review of The Grange Montessori Nursery from R C (Father of Child) published on 24 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I was recommended this nursery by a friend who has a child that attends here. On my tour of the nursery, staff were welcoming and knowledgable (particularly about funding which was new to me).

I was impressed by the abundance of play space they have to offer both inside and out, from the outside you wouldn't expect it!

The extra curricular offers like cooking, football and yoga were a big selling point for me too.

I like that I can see what my son has been doing each day on the app.

My only wish is that they did more outings and trips. Especially with the beach so close by.

This nursery is more expensive than others that my wife and I looked at, but they also offer so much more. To improve value for money, it would be great to see reduced fees offered when sufficient notice of holidays/child not attending is given.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Grange Montessori Nursery
Thank you for your kind words about our welcoming and knowledgeable staff. As you have pointed out, it is only when you embark on a tour that you really get to see just how much safe space and equipment we have for the children's enjoyment, learning and development.

We try to be as transparent as...

Overall Experience

The new management team at Townsend have been fabulous and retention amongst staff has been a lot better. Our daughter loves coming to nursery, and mainly plays nurseries at home, replicating the staff. Staff have been honest with us re her behaviours and methods to manage this from home so it can be improved at nursery.

Review of The Avenues Montessori Nursery from Georgia W (Mother of Child) published on 23 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
A team of absolute, real life heroes.
I am so grateful to the whole team at The Avenues who have worked tirelessly to help settle my baby into nursery over the past 10 weeks.
Our key worker has been truly fantastic with limitless patience and kindness and a real commitment to connecting with and settling my son. However he has also been supported by the entire team who work so harmoniously and diligently together, always greeting my sobbing child with huge smiles and good mornings at each challenging drop off through out his settling period.
I have been blown away by the skills, expertise and boundless energy of the team.

Thankyou SO much!!

Our 11 month old settled very quickly into the Old Station Nursery in Faversham.

My daughter joined two months ago and I've honestly been blown away by how amazing everyone is. The activities are fantastic and the staff are just incredible.

She is absolutely thriving there. It's the second nursery my daughter has attended, and it's by far the best. I can't thank the team enough for how happy she is.

Review of The Grange Montessori Nursery from Samantha M (Mother of Child) published on 19 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We absolutely love The Grange Montessori in Ramsgate. Our daughter has grown in leaps and bounds, and has come out her shell since starting at the nursery. Nursery has lots of event dates and keep you informed of these up and coming dates. The app is updated daily which help you continue to feel included with your child's life even when working. Only downside I've found recently is that there is a lot of new members of staff, and their handover is next to none most times. When dropping my daughter off there's never a handover at the early start of 7:30, even had my daughter snatched off me one morning before I could even say bye, wasn't asked how she was after her weekend.
Majority of the staff are absolutely lovely, friendly and approachable with any worries.

Daughter particularly loves Kirsty and Hannah

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Grange Montessori Nursery

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to read how much your daughter has grown in confidence and how much you value the updates through the app and communication around events. We appreciate you sharing your experience and will take this on board as we continue to review and improve our provision for families.
