The De Lacey Montessori School

I couldn't recommend them enough

I always have and will always recommend The de Lacey to new parents without any doubts.

Having attended De Lacey myself, I knew that it was somewhere that I would consider for my son. Once he had started, it was evident that he had joined a family. My son is extremely happy at the nursery, he runs in and hugs his key worker in the mornings and is happy when I am there to collect him. Having recently had my two-year review with them, it was clear that the staff had taken the time to get to know him and have adjusted the way that they teach him accordingly. They have high expectations; his key worker is always communicating ways in which I can continue his learning at home. I have already recommended two of my friends to send their children there, after visiting the nursery they immediately signed up. De Lacey is a home away from home for my son and he has learnt so much and has grown in confidence in just the six months that he’s been there. I can’t recommend this place enough.

I went to see a number of nurseries before making a decision and I have to say none came close to the standards of The de Lacey. The staff are really caring and have managed to create the perfect learning environment. My twin boys have been going to The de Lacey for just over a year and they love it.

This nursery has done wonders for my little boy.... He has been here for a year and a half and has made some lovely friends.

He enjoys going to school and despite saying that all he has done each day is 'play with his friends and play with the cars' , I know he has done much much more.

The school really pushes our children .. In a gentle way... And expects a lot from them.... Sometimes more than we parents expect... And the funny thing is.. Children surprise themselves with what they are capable of....

There are so many great things the nursery does to make learning fun and grown up... For example the pop up restaurant where they prepare and served food to us guests, baking healthy foods, collecting chestnuts, making perfume, making bird feeders... Even sawing wood to make their own medals for sports day.

The teachers are fantastic and really bring the best out of our children... They are nurturing and firm but fair.
