This is a fantastic nursery. My son has been here since 12 months old and is now leaving for school and we are very sad the time has come to leave. The staff are the biggest asset to this nursery, they are all amazing and so caring. We receive regular updates on the app and the food is also tasty. There are plenty of extracurricular activities for the kids and montessori and forest school are my son's favourites. Overall 5*. Thank you so much for looking after my boy so well over the last 4 years.

We've had a fantastic experience at Purley Day Nursery and Montessori Centre. The staff are warm, caring and truly dedicated to the children's wellbeing and development. The activities are fun, creative and help build confidence and social skills. We also really appreciate the regular updates and communication. It's been wonderful to see our child grow, learn and come home happy. We're so grateful for the love and care the team provides every day. PDN has been the perfect start to our child's learning journey.

Overall our experience has been fantastic. In each room he's been in our son has been well cared for and formed a strong bond with at least one key worker. It took a few months for him to settle and be ok with drop-offs but the staff have been so patient and supportive throughout that process. The app is good for understanding what he's eaten each day, but my only comment is there have been a couple of days where his food wasn't added. That being said, we're happy with the quality and volume of the food he is given. Sports Day was a real highlight, so well done for organising! Our son has a fixation with dinosaurs and the staff have really used that as a bonding tool to bring him into play, even buying dinosaur stickers to reward good behaviour and making sure dino toys are ready each morning.

I couldn't be happier with our experience at Purley Day Nursery & Montessori Centre. The nursery teachers are absolutely wonderful and incredibly caring, always going above and beyond to ensure the children are loved and supported. The facility itself is top notch with a strong emphasis on independence, and outdoor play which my child adores. The extracurricular activities are plenty which I appreciate. It is clear that cleanliness is a priority as my child has stayed reasonably healthy since joining (as a healthy toddler could be). Highly recommended!

My son is well looked after and the staff in his room listen well and follow his needs and diatrys well. They can sometimes struggle with communication but I trust them to help him develop.

Before starting at Purley Day Nursery and Montessori Centre over 3 years ago, I worked previously in a Montessori Nursery as a qualified early years educator. Working within a Montessori intrigued me, so I began studying the philosophy at Montessori Centre International, where I trained as a Montessori teacher 6 years ago.

They keep me occupied for most of my free time, during the holidays we love to go abroad and visit new countries, places around the UK and try new foods. I love learning about other people's cultures and traditions; it's a real passion of mine.
