Review from Gigi O (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot recommend Maytime Montessori Nursery highly enough for my son. When I first started looking for a nursery at just 10 months old, I felt apprehensive and guilty. However, from day one, I knew I made the right choice. My son feels safe and nurtured in an environment that prioritizes his well-being and growth.

The teachers are amazing, introducing him to experiences I could never provide at home. Each day, I see his confidence bloom, thanks to the dedicated guidance of Frankie, Ramata, Jade, Amy, Faye, and many others. Their commitment to nurturing each child is commendable.

One memorable moment was during the Christmas concert. When my son got anxious about performing, Faye comforted him with a warm hug, providing the reassurance he needed. Amy has also been there to offer him hugs when he feels anxious about being left at nursery.

If you want a nursery that combines educational excellence with a warm, nurturing atmosphere,

Overall Experience

I had both my daughters attend this Montessori, currently my youngest one is there. We noticed a significant improvement in her learning, communication and general confidence after both of them started attending a few days per week. Staff have a genuine connection with the children and always give us an update of how their day went, we wouldn't send our kids anywhere else.

Overall Experience

My son has been at this nursery since he was 7 months old and I am so delighted with everything about this place. All the staff are so friendly and know him. This makes a huge difference compared to other places where only their key worker knows them. He is always so happy at drop off and pick up. They provide daily updates as well as a scrapbook with photos of his time there. This was beautiful to see during parents evening recently (he's about to turn 2), so reminiscing on his development was lovely! They have also been great when he was unwell and they even administer medication which means I do not need to take more days off work than required. I 100% recommend this nursery!!

Review from F M (Mother of Child) published on 17 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I've had all three of my children attend Maytime Montessori over the years, and it has truly been a wonderful experience. The love, care, and support shown by the staff and management have been exceptional throughout. Over the past year, my youngest has formed wonderful friendships and meaningful bonds with her teachers.

The staff are always warm and welcoming, and communication with parents is excellent. She's built beautiful core memories that will stay with her as she moves on to school, confident and well-prepared. Thank you to everyone at Maytime Montessori - your dedication and hard work never go unnoticed.

Review from F H (Mother of Child) published on 7 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I've had all of my children attend Maytime nursery over the years and the care, love and support they have provided has been nothing short of outstanding. The staff are welcoming, the rooms are set around the children's interests and the stories my children have come home with in regards to what they have done each day are bittersweet. I hope these happy memories stay, their journey through the rooms have been amazing and hearing about their progress during parents meetings, and seeing their learning books. I have so many wonderful things to say about Maytime but I wouldn't know when to stop. Thank you to management and staff for everything that you do, I will always recommend Maytime Nursery to everyone!

Overall Experience

We have actually referred back to this nursery. We moved back into the area and there was no second-guessing where we wanted to place both of our boys. The nursery is amazing. My baby is thriving and my four-year-old is being prepped for school. They love the food cooked fresh every meal and love their key workers. The manager will go the extra mile to make sure parents are happy. Happy parents over here! Highly recommend this nursery.

I am very happy that my son participated in this kindergarten for two years, where he will remember many beautiful moments. I am very satisfied with the wonderful work they did with my son. My son has learned a lot of cool things and has been incredibly well taken care of. My son was also very satisfied with the food, the teachers were very cooperative with me, as a parent, and I will always remember you with love.

I have been having my children growing in this nursery since 2014 and I just love this nursery. It's the only Montessori Nursery in the area. My child is so independent and can do her own zip at the age of 3. Very impressed with Maytime and it is an excellent Nursery.

This nursery is amazing. They look after your children as if they were their own. The staff are incredible! They have encouraged my baby to become more independent through teaching him great skills like feeding himself and playing with different toys. He loves coming here.

My son had a great experience with Maytime Montessori. Each one from their facility took care of his both curriculum activities and non-curriculum. He misses the nursery a lot now. He always talks about the time he spent in the nursery.

Review from Karen P (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending since August 2021 and our experience has been nothing but positive.
The fabulous team are always so accommodating and patient.
They are proactive in supporting our daughter to meet the relevant milestones such as socialising, learning colours, numbers etc as well as ensuring she looks to be independent and self-sufficient (potty training, eating on her own etc).
Our daughter has gained so much confidence since she started and her progress after she went full-time in May 2022 has been brilliant. Her personality has really started to come through and our worries that she would struggle as a pandemic-isolated baby have been swept away with the encouragement and love she receives at Maytime Cranbrook.
She loves attending so much, if they were open on weekends she'd be there!

Highly recommend the nursery and will be sending my youngest there in January 2023.

Overall Experience
My middle one used to attend Maytime and we had an amazing experience so we decided to send our youngest to Maytime as well and we are very pleased with our decision.
The care is fantastic, the food options are good, lots of garden time and fun activities for all ages.
The manager is amazing - always so cheerful and helpful. The staff is very caring, understanding and friendly.

My son thoroughly enjoys his time at the nursery - doesn't even look back once he enters the nursery and runs straight to one of the staff members.
