Mount Carmel Kindergarten - Kinder Lodge

We are delighted with Mount Carmel it is exceptional in every way and this is evident in all the happy, engaged children. It is a great environment for little ones. It is creative, varied and structured all at once. Our little boy has learned lots, built lovely friends and had great fun along the way. Management and teachers have a great rapport with parents- it's an honest dialogue and everything feels open for discussion which is appreciated. My son has loved the arts activities, the ample outdoor play and the engagement with the natural world- pet day and crocus planting especially!

Both my children have attended Mount Carmel Kindergarten from the ages of 2-5. I have attended my youngest sons last Christmas nativity play today which was fantastic. It really is a wonderful place and I will be sad when we leave next year. The staff are kind, helpful and enthusiastic. My son loves baking on a Friday and making soup, bread and sausage rolls are his favourites. Holiday club and extended opening hours have made the return to work easier and the holidays, not such a drama. They particularly love the scooter racing and water play in the summer at holiday club. Communication home is great with weekly blogs and timely reminders about events coming up. The teachers always provide feedback on your child's progress and take time to talk to you. I am looking forward to the sports day and finally the graduation in the summer term. As a local family run nursery with over 30 years experience in childcare, it really is a wonderful place.

Mount Carmel is simply brilliant. Our daughter has been nurtured beautifully and is so happy. She has also learnt a huge amount and gained huge amounts of confidence - nothing could have prepared her for school better. The staff and facilities are both brilliant. There has been lots of fun had in the wonderful (purpose built) garden, as well as in the brilliantly equipped gym and other inside spaces.

I have been consistently impressed by the quality of education provided by Mount Carmel. My son and daughter both thrived here and my daughter always welcomes the chance to come back and visit even after going to big school. My son still attends Mount Carmel and enjoys every minute here! There are regular baking, woodland walks and singing sessions. My children love the staff here and so do we!

I was and still am impressed by the professionalism, teaching standards and enthusiasm the staff at Mount Carmel have. They give us so much confidence that our kids are safe, happy and stimulated when we leave them at the nursery. We have come to an end of 2 years with Mount Carmel and are very proud of what our child has achieved and how well he is prepared to join primary school. The nursery puts extra effort to be outstanding from using the online system Tapestry to provide us with feedback and development of our child, to bakery sessions, sports day and even a proper graduation with proper mortar hats and certificates.

The nursery is forward thinking adapting and improving all the time. They have done an excellent job getting my son ready for school. His is familiar with his phonics and numeracy. We like tapestry which keeps us up to date with EYES and progress our son is making.

My daughter loves Mount Carmel and is disappointed on the days she does not attend. The surroundings and facilitates are fantastic. The staff are nurturing and provide a caring, friendly environment. The wrap around care and holiday club are an added bonus with different themes each week.

I am so happy that my grandson has thrived at Mount Carmel starting nursery can be such a stressful time for both parents and children but Mount Carmel effortlessly put both my daughter and grandson at ease. As an ex-nursery school teacher I couldn't rate it highly enough.

Mount Carmel is very welcoming and a very good environment for children, very structured and very nurturing. MCK has been outstanding, we love their activities, staff and facilities. MCK has amazing dedicated long term staff who will put your kids first, enabling them to feel safe as well as stimulating their interests and exposing them to new activities and concepts.

Very professionally led nursery, staff and management have great experience. Our children have been very happy there for day one.

We moved our daughter to Mount Carmel last year from another day care setting and we are really, really pleased with it. Her confidence has grown and she absolutely loves it. They have done so many interesting things, and each child is treated very much as an individual. Highly recommended.

Mount Carmel is an excellent nursery. The staff are wonderful, caring, friendly and very understanding, always happy to help. The nursery provides lots of exciting activities and every day is different with structure, learning and most of all plenty of fun. It is a secure, friendly and warm environment with lots of very happy children. My daughter has attended the nursery for over a year now and she absolutely loves everything about it. I'm so pleased I chose Mount Carmel and would highly recommend it.

I love Mount Carmel Kindergarten, my daughter who does 2 afternoons looks forward to going each week, she loves her teachers and loves telling me what she has done each time she goes. All the staff are lovely and friendly and you are always made to feel welcome. You feel relaxed and at ease leaving your child at Mount Carmel as it has a very homely atmosphere. I would 100% recommend to all my friends and family, it's a wonderful place for any child to start their education.

Outstanding care is provided to my child at Mount Carmel. She attends all day sessions, sometimes when I pick her up in the evening she's the last one there but she is never happy to leave as the staff are always engaged ensuring that she is happy and has someone to play games with. She has become more independent through their nurturing care and she enjoys learning new things which is based on her learning needs. Encouraged but never made to feel that they are under achieving. To sum up a fantastic nursery providing excellent care!

We are greeted every morning by staff at the door where the children are spoken to and asked how they are and what they are going to be doing during the morning. The best welcome for parent and child in my opinion!

Very nurturing and caring environment. Professional and appropriate. My little one is very happy here.

My 3 years old daughter settled in so easily from he very first day at Mount Carmel. As a bilingual child who predominately spoke Italian prior to starting nursery, her English improved significantly within weeks of starting at Mount Carmel. They have promoted her independence in many aspects of her daily life and she looks forward to the many diverse activities that are on offer at Mount Carmel every day. We could not recommend Mount Carmel highly enough!

I have now had 3 children attend Mount Carmel over the last 10 years and the experience on each occasion has been excellent. They give your children the best possible start to their education in a safe and caring environment. I would strongly recommend Mount Carmel to anyone.

In my opinion Mount Carmel is an excellent nursery. It is run to a very high standard and is excellently managed. The staff are happy, inspiring, very caring, well trained and professional. The environment is very clean and is purpose built for a children's kindergarten. The activities provided are wide-ranging, very well thought out and educational through excellent play resources/materials and apparatus. The outside space is ideal and stimulating fro children. My children come to learn and have fun there.

My daughter enjoys going to nursery very much. She loves wearing the uniforms. The playground is spacious and there are a lot of activities available for the kids to play.
