My eldest daughter joined the baby room at MMI when she was 1 year old and stayed right up until preschool. She absolutely loved it! Every day she learnt new things, she made some fantastic friends and her confidence and ability to take on new challenges was incredible to watch. The teachers are friendly, honest and open - my daughter formed close bonds with many of them. As a mother, I never had to worry about sending my daughter there. I also loved the fact that it's so spacious there and they do little fun trips to the shop or the park with the kids when they get a bit older. All in all, a great nursery. They do tend to be closed for more days than other nurseries though, so that is something to consider when looking around.
Thank you, what a lovely review! We really appreciate it.
My daughter has been attending MMI Day Nursery Croydon since March last year. She absolutely loves coming every time, the nursery has a lovely, warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and I get a great report with pictures every time. They really care about the children's development and ensure the parents are involved too. The admin team are extremely supportive. I would definitely recommend MMI to anyone.
I also like that they allow opportunities for parents to get involved whether it's just to read a storybook to the children or to play with the children.
Our child always comes home learning something new, if not a few things. Their facilities are clean and well fit for purpose for the children to use, as well as ample choices of activities. Their Montessori approach is also very well suited to the philosophy we use in raising our child, to be confident, independent and kind. I would definitely recommend MMI.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!
Fantastic staff, great use of space, and excellent support offered.
The staff clearly have an absolute passion for what they do.
I love that the staff try in every way to involve parents/carers in the style of teaching, the daily experiences, and the curriculum.
So often my son comes home with new speech and learnings, that I didn't expect possible yet.
He has grown into a confident, independent and clever little human since joining MMI a year ago.
Thank you so much.

Our child is developing really well. He is learning plenty of new abilities as well as improved behaviours. The nursery keeps us up to date about all that is going on when it comes to our child as well as about the nursery in general.
Excellent nursery with a great key worker looking after my kid. They involve kids in lots of activities which is helping kids in their mental and physical growth. Good time slots are being offered, which helps with our professional commitment.
He built great relationships with all his key people and we really appreciated the time and dedication as it came through with his development. All his teachers did a fantastic job looking after him. We put in a lot of time teaching him before he started nursery and MMI responded by matching his pace to keep him engaged and enjoy learning. He always ran straight into nursery and walked out with a smile on his face.
Thank you so much MMI for everything, his time with you has fully prepared him to do his best at big school and we will miss you all.
Since joining the nursery, 3 and a half years ago, our son has grown into an independent little boy. Overall, we are very happy with our choice.
I really liked the assistant manager, she always gave me great advice if I was ever struggling with how to help my child develop in a particular area, or if I didn't know how best to deal with my child's behaviour, she would always give me thoughtful, insightful advice.
Really nice and calm environment. My daughter loves it. The staff are very friendly and caring. She spent three years there. We really liked the Montessori style of learning, my daughter has become really independent and confident.
MMI Croydon is so much more than childcare. My son and daughter have both learnt and developed a great deal during their time there, and it is clear that the staff genuinely care about the children. They love being dropped off in the morning, which has made the transition of going back to work after maternity leave so much easier. My son is now ready for school in September after being fully prepared academically and socially by the amazing staff at MMI.
The teachers and manager are very intelligent, diligent and communicate well with the parents.
I feel extremely lucky that my daughter was able to attend MMI.
My daughter joined the baby room at MMI Croydon in 2019, from a non-montesorri setting. It’s safe to say MMI have done a fabulous job at seeing my daughter through to the end of her time in preschool. My daughter has thrived over the last three years. She has a well-developed language, numeracy and phonics skills all thanks to the setting for their hard work and learning through play/child-led stance. My daughter’s emotional intelligence has also grown over the last few years and that is owing to the safe space staff at MMI create for all children in their care to thrive and be their best. I can’t say enough to applaud this setting, family and friends constantly compliment my daughter’s strong development and I must say all the credit (most!) goes to the fantastic setting that MMI is. I know my daughter will miss it when she moves on at the end of next month.
MMI is an outstanding nursery where carers and management go the extra mile in order to support the children development and their parents. The staff really care for the children and provide the best, holistic care and education. The nursery is very well resourced and is very clean and organised! There is also excellent communication between staff and parents and I always felt informed about both my sons' progress and learning goals etc. I have visited many, many nurseries in Croydon and this by far is the best one! Cannot praise the nursery enough and would recommend. Our boys just started their new nursery and miss their teachers back at MMI so much - big thanks to the manager and all team for all their hard work. We miss you all.
My daughter has been attending MMI since she was 1 and she is now 4, soon about to leave and start reception. The nursery itself is very spacious, with a lovely outdoor area, which gives all children space to move around more freely. Most of the staff have been with my daughter since she started and they really are an asset to the nursery. She has a couple favourites that she will always come home and talk about. They do teach the Montessori method of teaching, which I wasn’t very familiar with before, as my mum has been a manager at a nursery for over 30 years and has also worked with Ofsted, so I had/have a slightly different way of thinking when it came to teaching methods, but as soon as she started I could see the difference in her and all of the new things she was learning, they really do encourage independence. Overall, a lovely nursery, I would definitely go back and the staff working with the children are amazing.
We couldn't be happier with the nursery! My son has attended the nursery for over a year, and he loves it. The manager and all the girls are very professional and caring. The nursery is lovely with plenty of resources and equipment. Easy to contact and good communication tools so you know what your baby is been doing. Would %100 recommend it!
My kids have been going to MMI for years now, I am pleased with how they have been taught. Especially during the tough times we have just faced with Covid etc, I think they have dealt with it pretty well considering the situation.
After a wonderful experience with MMI Croydon and our first child, we decided again to send our 4 year old this year. As before the experience was fantastic. We saw a growth in confidence in our child and his day to day skills improved. MMI offer good support and report on a regular basis, highlighting any issues and working to resolve them quickly.
I felt a genuine passion for their work from the staff and they foster a caring and safe environment for the children. Our little boys teacher was outstanding and full of love and care for the children. We could see how close our child had become to her.
The food is very good, interesting and healthy. There are a large variety of tasks set for the children and plenty of space indoors and outdoors.
I would highly recommend MMI Croydon and cannot praise them enough for looking after our little boy these last few months. It is wonderful to see him flourish, especially after so many months in lockdown.
My daughter started attending MMI Day Nursery Croydon when she was six months old. She is now almost three years old. During this time, we have been very impressed by and grateful for the wonderful care that she has received. The nursery follows the Montessori philosophy which adapts care to the needs of each individual child and teaches them to be independent and to develop confidence from a very young age. The spaces within the nursery are well though out, well managed, clean, spacious and full of wonderful things to explore. The children rotate between planned activities and free exploration in the garden or in one of the rooms. The hot lunch menu and snacks are healthy and well balanced.The staff and the nursery manager are very caring and dedicated. There is a strong focus on training, which is reflected in the high quality of the curriculum and activities offered to the children. All in all this is an outstanding nursery that comes at a reasonable price. I highly recommend it.
After attended several nurseries nearby, we finally got a space at MMI Day Nursery Croydon. My three year old daughter has been with MMI Day Nursery Croydon for almost a year now. She loves attending nursery and made many good friends there. She often came home to showcase to us what she learnt from the nursery, a new song, a new game, a new joke between kids and a new trick on how to dress herself. She is now able to push a chair towards the sink to help her get up the sink, open the tab, wash her hand, close the tab and dry her hand without us asking her to do it. We are pleased with the nursery.

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.
