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!
Thank 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.
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!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're really happy to hear that you feel at ease and that your little one is enjoying their time at MMI Croydon. We truly appreciate your support and love being a part of your child's early years!
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.
Thank 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!
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.
Thank 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.
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful recommendation! We're thrilled to hear that you've had such a positive experience, and it's our pleasure to support your son's growth both inside and outside the nursery.
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.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear that you're happy with your decision to send your daughter to MMI. It's wonderful to know that she's thriving, enjoying herself, and feeling well cared for in our environment. We're so glad you found our staff approachable and...
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.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! It's fantastic to hear about the progress your daughter has made, especially with her English and growing independence. Seeing her happiness and bright personality shine is exactly what we strive for, and we're so glad that you feel the nursery has played a...
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.
Thank 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...
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!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're absolutely thrilled to hear how much your daughter has grown and flourished during her time at MMI. Watching her become more independent and ready for her next big step into school has been a joy for us all. It means a lot to know that our approach has...
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!
Thank you for your very kind words, I will make sure the staff receive the feedback.
Teachers are very dedicated to children and their individual needs and we can see our daughter's evolution day by day.
She always comes home happy and talks about her day and all the fun things she's been doing.
We highly recommend MMI.
The teachers and managers are friendly, and they are efficient and effective in their communication. We are kept updated on her daily activities, injuries and development through their app.
Overall, I would recommend this nursery and feel very relieved to have found a great nursery that provides a safe and secure environment for my daughter while we are at work.
We joined MMI about a year ago after about two years in another nursery where the attention and communication had gone downhill. A year on, we are still delighted with MMI. The staff, including the manager, genuinely cares about the children; they adapt to their needs, and they partner with us, the parents. There's very little staff turnover, which suggests the employees are happy there. Would definitely recommend this nursery.
We love MMI. Our eldest has been there for almost four years and will leave for school soon, and our youngest for a year. Our kids always enjoy going and have made some good friends. MMI teaches independence, respect and enjoyment - we really like the wider MMI philosophy. The nursery communicates well with us; they have nice events, run lots of great activities with the kids, and generally, all really nice, caring, professional people. We always recommend it to other parents looking at nurseries.
I love this nursery. We have to travel from the other side of Croydon to get here, but it’s worth it. My son absolutely loves it here. He’s been coming for a year now, and we have seen how much he has developed in that year - a large part of that is down to the staff at this nursery.
Highly recommended.
MMI was instrumental during that period in supporting our other child’s needs whilst being incredible in terms of our needs. They have been nothing less than wonderful at welcoming my son back one year later post-treatment whilst working in a strategic way to help him catch up from so much time off without overwhelming him. We were due to move away, but we opted to stay local just so our children could stay at MMI. I’m a very particular mum, and I would say I’m not easy to please; however, I recommend MMI to all my friends and people we meet. Incredible nursery. Thank you, team, for everything.
In my opinion, MMI is a fantastic nursery and preschool. My child has flourished in their care and they have introduced many amazing things. It's managed well, always feel comfortable bringing up issues or suggestions and all the staff and children are extremely polite and kind.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Kind Regards
A fantastic nursery with caring staff who really support the children's development. I 100% recommend it!
This is our very first experience with a nursery and we are very pleased with the result we can see in our daughter. She has learnt a lot from the day she joined and has become confident and independent. The way the nursery takes care of her has ensured that I can focus on my work without being worried about anything. Their response time is great and their attention to detail is brilliant. Keep up the good work!
Dear Swapnil, Thank you for the amazing words. We appreciate the trust we build with the parents.

Meet the Team (3)
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.
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.
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.
