My daughter was twenty months old when we first started looking around for nurseries. Our first meeting at MMI Day Nursery Croydon was with the manager. Dad and I were very pleased with how clean and tidy the rooms were. Everything was in its place and the nursery felt warm, in a sense that you could tell the children were well looked after. We met three teachers that were in the playroom. I was very impressed even with the Covid-19 crisis and how much effort the nursery had gone into keeping the playrooms clean, the children safe and not allowing anyone in or out of the nursery. My daughter honestly jumped out of her dad's arms and ran to hold the manager's hand to see what the other children were doing. The week of November we dropped her off for a taster day. I worried the whole time leaving her. When we went to pick her up she did not want to come home, she really loved it. I cannot say enough about all of her teachers, they are absolutely wonderful and really look after her. I recommend MMI Day Nursery Croydon to all parents.
Thank you for taking the time to write us a 'spell'-er review! Our team work hard to develop healthy attachments with our MMI children. We plan around the interest and needs of our team to provide a fun and stimulating environment in a Covid-19 safe way. It's lovely to hear that your daughter has settled well. Thank you
I have been taking my daughter to MMI Day Nursery Croydon for the last nearly two years. I am very happy with everything! Teachers, director, finance team and all the MMI Day Nursery Croydon family! Including all the rooms and set ups that they have for our little ones. The nursery manager joined last year, end of 2020 and I cannot be more happy with the way she has been managing the nursery, taking in account that has been a pretty tough year for everyone with Covid-19. Her support and flexibility has been great! Our daughter loves going to nursery every day and we know she is safe and having fun every day. Highly recommended.
How 'wand'-erful. We aim to make learning fun creative so it's magical to hear that you have experienced this and you are happy with how we manage the nursery. It has been a great pleasure. Thank you for your review.
My eldest went to MMI Day Nursery Croydon, now she is ten years old and I have now have my other two children ages two and three attending. The staff are friendly, helpful and always willing to help and advise. I am very particular with how my children are looked after and they always satisfy my kids needs and mine. My son in particular has additional needs and they cater for him exceptionally, I can go on about my day knowing my children are well looked after, fed and cared for. My children love their school and have developed greatly since attending. MMI Day Nursery Croydon pay attention to detail and inform me of everything about my child, an amazing nursery, I highly recommend!
We are very happy that you are happy. It is magical to hear that you feel that we have offered a safe place for your children to grow in confidence in a clam and supportive environment. Thank you.
Our twenty month old daughter has been going to this nursery for the past twelve months and we couldn't be happier. The staff and teachers are excellent and our daughter's development over the past twelve months has been remarkable. Going from screaming on her first settling in day, she now runs out the door when we mention nursery and clearly enjoys going. We have complete confidence in the teachers looking after our daughter and we've never had an issue in twelve months. Our son will be starting in a couple of months and we are very relieved that he has a place there. We would definitely recommend this nursery to any parents.
This is the perfect recommendation when parent/carer chooses MMI preschool again for their next child! Thank you for taking the time to write this sparkling review.
Our daughter has been attending this nursery since last summer. During that time she has settled in well and developed a lot in terms of speech and language. The nursery have also helped develop her understanding of the world around her and she is learning a lot every day. The staff are very professional, attentive and give regular feedback including daily reports of what she has been up to, including specific observations and milestones. In short, we are very impressed with the nursery and would highly recommend it. Most important of all, our daughter loves attending and looks forward to it every day!
We are so happy to hear that your daughter is always excited to come and enjoy all the fun learning we do every day. We are proud of our team who work really hard to bring a smile to your daughter's face and help her progress in her learning. We will try not to fail and bring more happiness to her days at MMI.
My daughter joined MMI Day Nursery Croydon just before Christmas when she was seventeen months old. Due to Covid-19 I wasn't allowed on site for settling-in sessions but the nursery staff were so reassuring that I felt comfortable, although sad, leaving her. The rooms are spacious and well-structured and the staff are completely dedicated to shaping the children into inquisitive, confident and knowledgeable little people. My daughter is thriving, she's learnt practical skills such as tidying and feeding herself, her communication and speech skills surprise me every day and she brings back home lots of goodies she creates. You are kept in the loop with the day's activities via an app that is updated on collection of your child. My daughters time at the nursery has been an absolute triumph, she practically skips through the door every day and she just loves it so much. Thank you to the team for being so brilliant!
Wow, we were blown away by your positive words, we really appreciate the time you took to write such a detailed review. Thank you.
My preschooler son attends MMI Day Nursery Croydon since he was fifteen months old. He has been under the care of staff in all the three age-appropriate rooms at MMI Day Nursery Croydon. such as the baby, toddler and now preschool room. All of which are spacious and well-managed. I am very happy with the way he has grown to be a well-rounded happy preschooler. MMI Day Nursery Croydon has helped him settle well into all rooms, especially the baby room in the very beginning. We did have a lengthy and difficult settling in period and MMI Day Nursery Croydon did their best to help us and it worked. He considers the staff as his friends and genuinely connects with them, I have high regards for them. I admire the Montessori principles even more after my experience with MMI Day Nursery Croydon. I feel the children are more free to make choices and learn in an organic manner, rather than imposed. The staff are well trained to look after the children, teach them and they have appropriately trained staff for first aid. The food provided is really good and my son loves the lunch.
Thank you

Our son has been at the nursery for almost two years and is thriving. It is a very caring, friendly environment and also very well organised. We are extremely happy that we sent him to this nursery.
Regards, Aleks.

At MMI, the staff are dedicated, caring and nurturing. The close attention and support they have given my son, has enabled him to go from strength to strength since being here. This is a fantastic Montessori nursery.
MMI Day Nursery is extremely accommodating and they take great care of the kids. There was no day when my child came home unwilling to go back, she enjoyed being with the carers and had loads of fun everyday. The management is very helpful to consider requests from parents and they never reject anything without a proper consideration.
Thank you so much for your support and kind words.
Positives of this place are:
Very kind staff, attentive to the child, very personal approach.
There's a big garden that children spend a lot of time in, during summer hot weather they even set up paddling pool
Children have an optional opportunity to still have naps in a special quiet, calm room.
Very convenient location - just a 5 min walk from the train station
The children have developed a lot and we made great friends that we will still keep in touch after graduating from MMI Croydon.
I would definitely recommend MMI Croydon.
My two children went to MMI, and I have been really pleased with the level of care and education they received. The staff are professional, and my children were always happy. Thank you to everyone at MMI!

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.
