Our daughter is thriving, in no small part down to the wonderful experience she had at MMI. The staff are wonderful - kind, thoughtful and gently challenging - and our daughter's development has accelerated dramatically since she started. We could not be happier and would not hesitate to recommend MMI
to anyone looking for a great nursery for their child(ren).
Reply from Aleksandra Garaloska, Manager at MMI Day Nursery CroydonThis is such a heart-warming message. Thank you for choosing MMI. We will continue to improve and make MMI the best nursery for every child.

As a father of a two and a half year old girl, I honestly couldn't be happier with this nursery. From day one, the staff have been incredibly kind, patient and genuinely caring. Every member of the team makes such an effort, and it really shows in how confident and happy my daughter is. The manager
runs the nursery with so much warmth and professionalism, and you can feel the positive atmosphere the moment you walk in. My daughter absolutely loves going there, which says everything. Knowing she is safe, loved and supported every day gives us complete peace of mind. We feel very lucky to be part of this nursery family.
Reply from Aleksandra Garaloska, Manager at MMI Day Nursery CroydonThank you so much. We value and appreciate all your kind words, and we are happy to see that we make a positive impact on your child's life.

We are very happy with the nursery. All the staff are very supportive and truly care about the children. They help them become independent and confident in a warm and welcoming environment. Our son was a bit hesitant about going to nursery at first, but over time his willingness has grown and now he
is happy and excited to be there. The staff have really supported and strengthened his confidence, as well as encouraged his overall development. We're very grateful for the care and dedication of the team.

MMI is a fantastic nursery. Highly recommend to take a spot if one is available to you. My child has been always excited to go in the mornings and comes out in the happiest of moods. He loves his teachers, has made a fantastic group of friends, he doesn't seem to be overstimulated or overly exhausted
after a day at school. Their garden is great and there are plenty of crafts, activities (inside and outside of school), and primary school readiness work. I have really appreciated hearing about how the teachers support emotional regulation and tricky friendship dynamics in the classroom. The rooms are spacious! I'm truly so grateful to have had my child in their care.
Reply from Aleksandra Garaloska, Manager at MMI Day Nursery CroydonThank you for such a heartfelt review. It means a lot to hear such a positive review. Aleks

I honestly don't have enough words to fully describe how wonderful the whole experience at MMI has been (and continues to be). Our child started from the baby room and is now in toddler room, and since the first week attending MMI we noticed such a positive difference. The staff (and I do mean the whole
staff) are truly excellent at what they do, how they connect with each child, meet them where they're at, help them develop their potential and independence through so much fun and nurturing, it's wonderful to see.
The children feel safe and welcome at nursery, and so do the parents via excellent communication with the teachers and management. We're kept up to date with development, activities, and safe guarding is also excellent. As a parent it can be so daunting to leave your child for so many hours a day, but with MMI there has never been a second of worry - we know they are in the best place possible outside of our own home.
Reply from Aleksandra Garaloska, Manager at MMI Day Nursery CroydonThank you so much for sharing such an incredibly thoughtful review. It means the world to hear how supported, connected, and confident you've felt throughout your child's journey from the baby room to the toddler room. Seeing her thrive, grow in independence, and feel so safe and happy is exactly what we strive for every day. We're truly grateful for your trust and your kind words about the whole team. Aleks

Our child has been attending from 9 months old and is now in the toddler room. We have always found the entire nursery calm, warm, organised and supportive. It really feels like each teacher ensures each child receives a person centered approach. They all greet each child with such joy in the morning,
they tailor learning and developmental goals to their specific interests and when our child started walking at nursery, it felt like each teacher really celebrated that achievement which made it even more special. Our child is always coming home with new things she has learnt at school e.g, tidying up, using utensils, painting, numbers, words, songs and much more. Most of all we feel that our child is happy and safe at MMI.
Reply from Aleksandra Garaloska, Manager at MMI Day Nursery CroydonThank you so much for sharing such thoughtful feedback. It's wonderful to hear how supported and celebrated your child has felt throughout her journey with us, and we're delighted that her learning and achievements are shining through at home. Knowing she feels happy, safe, and excited each day means the world to our team. We truly appreciate your kind words and your trust in us.Aleks

We can't recommend MMI enough. We've been so impressed with the level of care our daughter receives and love how the Montessori ethos flows through everything they do. There's the perfect balance of a kind and caring attitude with a superb level of professionalism that makes you feel assured and comfortable.
Every day when we drop her off she's full of excitement for the day ahead. Big thank you to the wonderful team there, we couldn't ask for more!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter started nursery at 1yr old. At first it took a while for her to settle into nursery and the staff there were very accommodating and supportive of her needs during this transition from being cared for at home and being cared for at nursery. Our daughter is soon to be three now. We get a
report via an app everyday about our daughters activities and daily routine and also 'observations' where we get a breakdown of specific significant moments that our child has been involved with and how this is helping her development. The staff are excellent and our daughter is very happy being there, apart from on the odd day when she decides she doesn't want to go in, which is nothing to do with the nursery or staff but it's just like me as an adult when I wake up and think I really don't want to go to work today!! A BIG Thanks to all staff at MMI. We would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery for your child..

We are incredibly appreciative of MMI Day Nursery and all the staff. They were so accommodating in offering my daughter a place at very short notice last year, and from the first moment they have been absolutely fantastic. My daughter hadn't been settling at her previous nursery, so the transition was
quite stressful for us. However, MMI made the whole enrolling and settling in process feel effortless. The nursery is very well managed, with amazing communication throughout, and the team have been incredibly supportive and understanding, which really put us at ease. Most importantly, all the staff are genuinely lovely, loving, and caring. My daughter has settled beautifully and is such a happy little soul there, which means the world to us. I am incredibly grateful for everything they've done and wouldn't hesitate to recommend MMI to other families.

As a first-time mum, I felt quite anxious about returning to work and leaving my child at nursery. However, the staff were incredibly warm, supportive, and reassuring, which made the transition so much easier. My daughter settled in quickly and happily, without any issues, and it's been wonderful to
see how well she is developing.


I really appreciate how thorough the nursery is, as well as the regular feedback I receive about my daughter's needs and progress. It gives me real peace of mind knowing she is in such caring and attentive hands. I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

My daughter is always happy to go to nursery. She is now in the toddler's room and has made great friends with the other children and teachers. She often tells me that they are her best best friends. The teachers are always there to comfort her when she is feeling emotional and make her feel loved and
at home. They teach them to be kind and gentle to each other and how to manage their emotions. They are always learning new things about the world they live in and often role play. My daughter is always excited to tell me what she learned each day when I pick her up. Summed up this is an excellent and diverse nursery where your child is valued and encouraged to learn at their own pace .

Our son has been at MMI for 2.5 years, in the baby, toddler and now pre school room. We couldn't be happier with the choice to send him to this nursery - he's been really happy and they have supported his development the whole time :) he had lots of friends and is almost always excited to go in everyday.
He is excited to tell us about all the things he is learning and we can see how the preschool room is preparing him for school. Aleks the manager is an excellent leader and we have been happy with all the feedback sessions. The annual nativity is an absolute highlight :)

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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

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.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.930)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.930) out of 10 for MMI Day Nursery Croydon is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.930 for MMI Day Nursery Croydon is calculated as follows: ( (320 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 343 Ratings = 4.93
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for MMI Day Nursery Croydon is based on 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 72 number of registered child places is 14.4, which has been reached with 29 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Aleksandra Garaloska

Job Title: Manager Joined: 2019

I started my journey at MMI in 2010 as a placement student. Over time, I worked my way up to become the Room Leader in the Preschool Room. After gaining experience in other settings, I returned to MMI in September 2019 as the Nursery Manager, and I’ve been proud to lead the team ever since.


I’m a Montessori-trained teacher, holding a Level 4 qualification in Montessori Philosophy, as well as a Froebel diploma from Roehampton University. I also hold a SENCO diploma from Best Practice and a Level 5 NPQ in Early Years Leadership from Ambition Institute. Currently, I’m continuing my professional development by studying for a Top-Up Degree in Teaching and Learning at Kingston University.


Since returning to MMI, I’m proud to say we’ve become a recognised leader in early years education in our community. We've participated in research projects on spirituality in early childhood in collaboration with Roehampton University and have been invited to speak at conferences to share our practice. We also work closely with the Croydon Early Years team, including delivering a talk on how we work with babies.


In May 2024, we were awarded a ‘Good’ rating by Ofsted, a reflection of the team’s dedication and passion. We are also proud to be Early Years SENCO certified and recognised as a NASEN Early Years SEND Reviewer.

Job Title: Nursery Practitioner Level 3 Joined: 2019

I joined the MMI team in 2019 as an unqualified practitioner, and from the very beginning, I received incredible support from the team around me. With their encouragement and guidance, I trained and qualified as an EYE Level 3 Early Years Educator and Montessori Practitioner.


Learning about the Montessori philosophy has been a truly transformative journey for me. It has shaped not only my teaching style but also the way I view children, learning, and development. I’ve gained valuable knowledge and grown both professionally and personally. Over time, I’ve built my confidence and developed into a reflective, thoughtful educator.


From starting as an unqualified team member, I’m proud to now be the Third in Charge at MMI. It’s been an incredible journey of growth, and I take great pride in the progress I’ve made. Being part of the MMI family has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, and I’m honoured to contribute to such a passionate and inspiring team.

Job Title: Montessori Practitioner Joined: 2025

I joined MMI in September 2024, and what a journey it has been so far! Before this, I spent several years teaching in a Reception class at a private school, but returning to a nursery environment has been a refreshing and rewarding experience.


I’ve truly come to appreciate the ethos and values we hold at MMI. I love the positive culture within the team and the way we consistently place children at the heart of everything we do. Being part of this environment has helped me grow professionally, and I continue to learn every day with the support and encouragement of my colleagues.


I especially love teaching in the Preschool Room, where I have the joy of preparing children not just for school, but for life. Helping them build confidence, independence, and a natural curiosity for learning is the most fulfilling part of what I do.
