Review from Venkat T (Father of Child) published on 16 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We decided to send our daughter to Rosewood when she turned 12 months - she just graduated (still can't believe an actual graduation party was held - which was awesome!) age 3 and a half and is now attending nursery school - and I feel a big part of this smooth transition was thanks to the staff at
Rosewood Montessori. The staff were brilliant - accommodative to our needs, always on hand to have a chat about anything. They were helpful in terms of helping with the transition from baby to toddler. We made the transition to potty training without any big hurdles and all the way through; they were just there for us. We will miss you all and would make the decision to join again if given a choice without hesitation. Thank you to Cathey, and all the staff once again!

Amazing team at Rosewood. As a mother of an IVF baby, I know I can be overprotective, and I felt nothing but seen and supported when my daughter first started attending last Feb. She thrived in an environment surrounded by kind, caring and dedicated people. As she moves on to school, Rosewood will forever
have a special place in our family. Thank you, team

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have 2 children who have been at Rosewood for 15 months now and we have been very happy with their development and the care given by the whole team. We have been involved in a serious issue at the nursery which has been dealt with very well by the staff in particular the manager who has been very
approachable and genuine in attending to our needs as parents and making us feel comfortable enough to trust the nursery to care for our children. They are very happy there and always tell us gleefully about what they have learned, new songs and activities, and interact very well with the other children. The manager truly is a credit to this nursery and you can tell that she genuinely loves helping and watching children thrive.

My Son started when he was 11 months old. He took a while to settle in and the team was so adaptable and flexible with this settling-in period. It was all about how my Son would settle in and not another number/money-making child. We were so grateful to the manager and the team.
Since then he has had
such a fun time at nursery. The food is great. The staff keep you updated. The activities are engaging. My Son talks about his day and misses nursery too. I would whole heartedly recommend Rosewood Montessori.

Review from Shweta R (Mother of Child) published on 20 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son started going to Rosewood Montessori Day Nursery & Forest School when he was 10 months old. It's been six months now and he is well settled, he eats, takes naps and plays.
His primary and secondary/buddy caretakers are great. They both really make him feel safe, secure and happy. Both of them
put effort into knowing his likes and what he wants and engage him in various playful development activities. Other staff members are also very nice and do take good care of him. During times when my son was refusing to eat or was unwell, then the cook gave him his favourite meals/snacks.
The first couple of settling weeks were challenging for both my son and me. Despite my many concerns and extra requests, the staff was very supportive and helped us overcome the transitional phase.
Staff are not only responsive to a child's needs but also to parents' needs.

From the moment my son started at Rosewood, I have felt confident and assured he is being well taken care of. The nursery manager is exceptionally knowledgeable and was part of the decision for us. The nursery environment is light, clean and calm. My son is happy at drop-off and enjoys the food and
being with the staff. I feel like this is the perfect place for his learning and development before he goes to school. The garden outside and forest school is something I know he will really enjoy using.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter (2.5 years old) loves Rosewood and is always full of stories about her day. She has been there about six months and settled in quickly. Within a short amount of time, she grew in confidence, and this is due to the care and attention of the staff. She was at another nursery before for just
over a year, so we had a frame of reference for comparison, and Rosewood is just fantastic.
Rosewood is a smaller, more homely setting compared to some other nurseries, and this has suited our daughter well. There is a big range of activities and time spent outdoors in the wonderful garden. The mud kitchen is fantastic!
While there are different rooms/areas for different age groups, the children spend lots of time together as well, which is lovely for learning from each other.
The staff are kind and caring and seem to work together well as a team. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Rosewood is a real gem of a nursery. The combined philosophies of Montessori, the forest school and the early year's framework have had a really positive impact on my son. He enjoys the opportunity to be creative and loves the wide range of activities. Possibly due to the restrictions of Covid, I noticed
that he sometimes had difficulties playing with other children. The staff at Rosewood have been skilful in helping him understand how to initiate play with other children and how to manage difficult feelings when things go wrong. After just one week at Rosewood my son had a much more successful playdate and I felt he had really turned a corner. The staff have understood how to help him build self-esteem and he can't wait to go back there every day. The manager is an exceptional leader who has extensive knowledge of child development and a rare background in family therapy. She is a real goldmine for parents looking to help their child navigate the challenges of daily life.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.847)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.847) out of 10 for Rosewood Montessori Day Nursery & Forest School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.847 for Rosewood Montessori Day Nursery & Forest School is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.847
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rosewood Montessori Day Nursery & Forest School is based on 11 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.

Cathey

Cathey Peart

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2022

Hi, I’m Cathey Peart and have worked with children and families for the last 20 years in a variety of roles in the private and public sectors. These have included intensive family support, running parenting courses, leading a Nursery School with complex needs placements and most recently as a nursery manager.


People are my passion, I am fascinated by
how we all construct meaning from our experiences and, particularly how we use our early
education environment to support the children in our care to make excellent progress in their learning and development.


Effective partnerships with our parents are critical to a shared understanding of the children and I love nothing more than a conversation about what everyone has been doing. It is a privilege to hear a child explain their understanding and what they have noticed; as adults, it reminds us of the awe and wonder in experiencing new things.


I hold a Master of Arts in Integrated Working with Children and Families in the Early Years and NVQ3 in Children’s Learning Care and Development, as well as a variety of parenting course facilitator accreditations. I focussed on leadership in the early years of my MA and the ongoing professional development of myself and our staff team is important as we strive to provide the best possible care and education.
