  • The Grange Montessori Nursery, Ramsgate
The Grange Montessori Nursery, located in the charming coastal town of Ramsgate, offers exceptional full and part time childcare in a stunning period property. The setting has four spacious rooms that have been thoughtfully designed, with age-appropriate resources to support children's learning and development.

The nursery offers exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child. One such experience is child-friendly cooking classes, inspired by the Montessori approach, fostering meaningful connections between children and the world around them and helping to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process.

The Seahorses Room is where babies start their journey, with plenty of space to explore and engage with carefully selected toys and resources. As children grow older, they progress to the Turtle Room where they are introduced to the Montessori ethos and participate in planned experiences led by their Key Carer.

The Dolphins Room is for Pre-School children, offering free flow play and independence, as well as a dedicated Montessori teaching area. The nursery also provides a beautiful outdoor space for children to explore and develop their social and physical skills.

Following the Montessori Approach to learning, children are encouraged to make creative choices and learn through hands-on, collaborative play. The team support children as they prepare for their transition from nursery to school, and work closely with local primary schools to ensure is it a smooth process. Alongside the support of a qualified, passionate and child-centred team, children at The Grange Montessori Nursery will grow and develop under the best of care.

Review from Charlotte G (Mother of Child) published on 18 October 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter joined The Grange at just 6 months old within the baby room! Seven months later, I am still convinced I've done the best thing by her joining. She has flourished beyond expectations and this has all been down to every member of staff she sees within her day at nursery! My daughter always
comes home so happy and content and gets very excited to walk into nursery each day, knowing she will be greeted by a friendly, familiar face. My partner and I really cannot thank all the staff enough for all they do to support and love my little girl, helping us to know she's safe and having fun whilst at nursery. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at The Grange Montessori since January 2022 in the baby room. Sending her to nursery after maternity leave was a very hard decision to make but luckily she absolutely loves it. She has regular staff who know her well and a key worker who has an amazing bond with her, along with
the other staff in her room. I receive regular updates and photos through the nursery's app. They follow her regular routine to make sure she is settled each day. When I collect her I get a full handover of her day so I know exactly what she’s been up to.
The management team are always very accommodating if she needs to start a bit earlier or finish later and always responds quickly to any requests or emails.
I feel confident that she is safe, happy and her development is nurtured each day.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.605)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.605) out of 10 for The Grange Montessori Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.729 for The Grange Montessori Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (172 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 214 Ratings = 4.729
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.876 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Grange Montessori Nursery is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 97 number of registered child places is 19.4. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.4 = 0.876
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
