Day Nurseries Owned by The Family Tree Nursery Ltd in Kent

Our daughter adores going to the Montessori nursery on Chipstead Lane. The nursery staff are all so friendly, helpful and welcoming. Since the refurbishment, the venue's environment is bright, beautiful and clearly creates a very fun learning space for our daughter. The food appears to be varied and is made fresh for lunches.

Our youngest is currently at Monique's (going on 2 years now) and our eldest attended for the 18 months or so before starting Reception. We couldn't be happier with both of their experiences. The attentive, skilled, loving, friendly staff are what make Monique's so special. They are absolutely amazing, and rare is the day when either of my children reluctantly entered the door in the morning. They are given a wonderful learning environment where they build independence and confidence in a structured child-led setting (that was recently renovated to a high standard). My eldest was very well prepared and ready for starting Reception, and my youngest is thriving in their care. The communications with parents is excellent; very responsive, open and a true partnership. We cannot recommend Monique's more highly. An absolute gem!

Our daughter loves going to Monique's. She has been there for almost a year now, and there hasn't been one day with no smiles in the morning. The carers are fantastic, it really feels like a family. It's recently been fully refurbished, the toys are brand new, and it's super clean. The office is very responsive, good with communication, which is always a bonus.

There are great facilities and the children have a wide choice of activities, they have wonderful freshly cooked meals each day.

Very good place for our son. Conducive environment that helped him prepare and blend well in school. The staff are professional and always ready to help. Worth the while. Looking forward to enrol second child.

I can't thank the Plaxtol Nursery team enough. My son was unhappy at his previous nursery, but since joined Plaxtol he was going in every day with a smile and his anxiety has reduced so much. The staff are caring and supportive, and their approach-like letting parents stay a few minutes in the mornings to help children settle-makes a real difference. It's amazing they also have a Forest School, which is fantastic for kids and their mental health. Plus, they share photos and updates through an app, which is such a lovely way for parents to see what the children are doing through the day. I highly recommend Plaxtol Nursery and have also enrolled my youngest there for the coming years.

My oldest daughter has made huge strides in her speech and the younger one is constantly asking for her key workers even when at home. Going back to work after maternity I felt so guilty for leaving them but knowing I am leaving them in such amazing hands gives me piece of mind.

We are ever so grateful to Plaxtol Nursery School for everything they did for our little boy Neth for one and half years. The staff were absolutely patient during his orientation. He grew up to be a friendly decent boy learning good habits. Teachers never hesitated to go beyond the extra mile for the kids' wellbeing. They were absolutely approachable, kind and dedicated. We highly recommend this place.

Plaxtol Nursery is such a wonderful place - the staff are so kind and caring. They know each of the children individually and plan activities and experiences carefully that interest and challenge them. My little boy loves going there, and has learnt so much, progressing so well with his numbers, letters, fine and gross motor skills and knowledge about the world. His confidence, social skills and talking have also really grown since being there. The outdoor space they have access to is just lovely, with the children being able to use the school field, a nature garden and the park next door, and the countryside setting is beautiful. Inside, the rooms are always beautifully and thoughtfully set up with lots of engaging activities to promote different skills meaning there is always something exciting on offer. The updates we get through tapestry are brilliant, and all the staff are so approachable and knowledgeable. It is such a special place and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

My daughter just left Monique's to start Reception, and my son (now Y3) also used to attend. I couln't be happier with the level of care they offered. The staff are fully committed to the wellbeing of the children, and I have seen both my son and my daughter develop their confidence and learn initial social skills. I couldn't recommend Monique's enough - it's a fantastic, nurturing enviroment with a high level of expertise and yet a comforting family feeling.

Our little boy spent 3.5 years at Moniques Montessori and we couldnt be happier with the care and education he received there. It was like a second home to him and prepared him so well for 'big school'. We are so grateful to all the staff who made it such a great experience and would not hesitate to recommend it to friends.

My daughter (3 years old) has been attending Plaxtol for a year now and I can’t fault this nursery at all. The whole team have made us feel so welcome and cared for both myself and my daughter. The setting is small but the close interaction that she gets from each teacher and pupil is just perfect for her development and prep for her reception year and confidence. She’s grown so much since starting here and developed so many skills she simply would not have learned staying at home. She’s made so many friends and adores her teachers so much. She always looks forward to returning and she truly is 100% herself here. She enjoys forest school too, it’s really something she looks forward to and she adores the outdoors with beautiful rural sights nearby, it’s truly a great place for your child to experience forest school so young and explore the outdoors. I always know absolutely everything about my little girl's day as the team really include all the parents. Top nursery!
