The Grange Montessori Nursery

This nursery is absolutely outstanding in every way shape and form. The staff are all so caring, understanding and patient and look after my daughter so well. I feel so relaxed and safe leaving her in their care and she absolutely adores it! The activities they do are amazing and very suitable for the ages per class. They help guide the children to become more independent and create such a wonderful environment for them to explore and create little friends. I am very happy and lucky that I am able to send my daughter here as it really is excellent! The meals are also super healthy and nutritious, with proper homemade cooking with lots of fruit and options! They also cater for allergies, my little one has allergies and they are brilliant at making she she is attended to!

My youngest son attended The Grange Montessori 6 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed his time there, so when my grandson came to live with me we decided to arrange a visit and see if he would also be happy there. Thankfully it’s still the same warm and friendly place it was all those years ago. When I asked my grandson what he thought about his nursery his reply was: “The ladies there are very kind to me”.

The staff are always polite, friendly and helpful. My granddaughter had a difficult start but now she loves coming in. The staff are quite amazing as my granddaughter is showing signs of autism on a high level, they are so patient with her.

Such an incredible nursery and the biggest appreciation goes to all the staff, they are amazing. My son started at the nursery when he was 3 months and the nursery staff were so caring and affectionate with him and gave him everything he needed at such a young age. He is now almost 8 months old and absolutely loves going to nursery. He never has any issues going to any of the ladies because they all tag team and support one another and step in where needed and so he has built such special relationships with them all, best of all he has a very special relationship with his key person and that is one thing I've loved about the nursery is that he does have a key person and its so reassuring to see that this individual has made sure she is his key person and my son feels that too. The team are always super friendly and always happy to have a chat, they are quick to let you know of any issues or concerns and when there are any issues with my son they get hold of me as soon as possible.

Whilst on the dearer side, you get the best for your child that you pay for.

Truly fantastic nursery with committed, caring and conscientious staff who truly connect with the children and excellent management. My son absolutely loved it here and I couldn’t have asked for a better nursery for him.

I am so pleased with the nursery, the staff are absolutely amazing and considering what they are expected to do for the pay they get (due to the government funding), they’re brilliant! My little boy has been going there since he was six months old, he is now eighteen months. He only goes once a week and even though he is usually a little bit emotional going in, the girls are always so lovely and caring when taking him. They’re more than happy to answer any queries and happy for you to phone and check in on them. They’re very accommodating and friendly. I honestly couldn’t be happier, my little boy is thriving and is usually full of smiles and laughter when we pick him up. His key worker is truly amazing and just so lovely, and the manager is brilliant too. There is also another lovely staff member from his room who is always there on early mornings, she’s great also! They’ve recently been rated outstanding from Ofsted also, which is a huge achievement so well done to them all!

All three of my children have attended this nursery and I cannot fault this facility at all! I tried my youngest son at another nursery this year from January and by March I moved him over to this nursery as I have always adored the staff here, for being so accommodating and the way they care for my children. I love how they promote independence for the children and sensory learning. I've always found the environment calming and organised. Generally nothing I could fault with this nursery and I could not be happier! Highly recommend!

Fantastic nursery, I highly recommend it! The staff are always professional yet super friendly, so flexible and accommodating, nothing is ever too much trouble. Both my children have really enjoyed their time here.

I personally have no complaints about the nursery and thank them for taking good care of my child while I’m at work.

My baby started nursery in April at six months old. He is so happy coming into the nursery and gives the girls in his room a big smile when we walk into the room. I had just started weaning my little boy and the girls in the room are so caring and attentive with this and listen to his needs.

Staff are so accommodating nothing is ever a problem or too much to ask, my daughter has been here since 9 months old during covid and she absolutely loves coming here. I will be sending my next child here too. Always happy to help and feels like I’m sending her into a family who treats her so well couldn’t ask for better! She loves the garden and forest school in rain or sunshine and has happily transitioned from class to class when going up in ages.

The nursery used to be excellent until they become under new management. There has been a big staff turnover now and a lot of the new staff are not as caring and don't have the best interest of the children. The prices have gone up a lot from hot dinners to hourly pay. The nursery overall is okay now.

I think all the staff at the Grange are very friendly and are always approachable to discuss my daughter's development. My daughter is happy to attend the setting, which is the most important point for me when sending her to childcare. I do feel at times because my daughter only attends one day a week that, I'm unaware at times who her key worker is and she seems to have had a lot of changes of key workers since she started at the nursery. Staff, I find very approachable and happy to discuss my daughter's progress, but I hardly speak with her actual key worker. Overall, I'm happy with the care the setting gives my daughter and will recommend them to others.

This is a good nursery. My little girl loves going to nursery, she really enjoys seeing her friends and the staff. The staff are always very friendly and tell me what she has done in the day and what she has eaten.

Good nursery and friendly staff. Lots of varied and interesting activities for the kids. More attempts should be made to include both parents equally, in decision-making and information sharing, especially if they're split.

We've also had a lot of support to help my little one with her speech, helping with referrals to speech therapy and LIFT. Really great nursery, my little one is very happy there. Thank you!

Excellent nursery where I am confident my daughter is safe and happy. She's built lovely relationships with her adults and I feel that all staff genuinely care about the children they look after. Very happy with the flexibility of early drop offs as it helps so much for working parents.

Both my children enjoy the nursery and have bonded well with the staff. They love playing outside and enjoy the activities throughout the day. They experience different foods whilst at nursery and try a variety of different flavours that they wouldn't necessarily try at home.

No problems, my son is always happy going to Nursery and happy when I pick him up. Communicate well and keep up to date and see photos every now and again. I have no concerns or worries. Always positive. Big thumbs up from us.
