My a daughter absolutely loves going to absolute angels She loves all the staff members. They are absolutely brilliant.Go above and beyond to help with anything from advice to questions. They work so hard to meet Ella-louise needs, they are so welcoming and lovely.I felt like i'm feel really comfortable talking to them. My older little boy riley also went to this nursery and they were all so brilliant with him.
My son has come on leaps and bounds since being at Absolute Angels, he really enjoys going. I have found all the staff to be attentive and helpful with challenges we have faced such as getting my son to eat at lunch and starting the potty training journey. The nursery also provides updates with photos which I love as my boy can't quite tell me what he does during the day so it is nice to see the photos and read their feedback.
Cannot recommend Absolute Angels enough, the staff are kind and caring, the environment is calm and happy. My other son who is now in primary school still goes back during holiday clubs and he absolutely loves it.
Thank you for your lovely review. It is much appreciated.
I could not rate this nursery higher. I am a parent of multiple children and have experienced various childcare providers and can honestly say this nursery outshines the rest and goes above and beyond in every way. Each child is nurtured and respected and treated as the individuals they are. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and loving. Communication is excellent and parents/caregivers are offered advice and support if wanted. The nursery does a superb job at preparing the children for their "next steps" and had no issues taking on my child as a deferred school-starter when other settings wouldn't even consider this. I sincerely wish I had found Absolute Angels sooner so that my other children could have attended and been on the receiving end of such a positive early years experience!
Thank you so much for such a glowing review. It is our aim for the children to become happy, independent and sociable so that they will learn anywhere.
Absolute Angels was our first choice of nursery for our youngest son when we moved to the area from Australia in August. We researched Montessori nurseries in the area online before we moved and Absolute Angels appealed to us the most. We absolutely made the right choice! The staff have been so welcoming and really helped us to navigate the childcare system in the UK. Our boy looks forward to going to nursery each day, Absolute Angels really is his happy place. I would highly recommend Absolute Angels to other parents, you can be sure that your little one will be well cared for in an environment that is nurturing, positive, and always encouraging of children and their families. Thank you so much Absolute Angels, what a relief it has been that we found you!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are so glad that we have been able to do something to help you settle into your new life in the UK.
She has a good structure in the setting and it's great for us to receive key updates on her play and learning experience.
My daughter has built up some wonderful friendships with the other children and is very fond of her key worker of whom she talks about regularly.
The nursery are great at keeping us up to date with daily activities and what the children do every term.
We get the opportunity to go to parents evening see talk about our child's development. The nursery have also been very accommodating and flexible to our requirements as shift workers which has really helped with the odd day we've needed to put our daughter in for nursery outside of her regular hours.
The premises is also kept very clean and the children spend a lot of time outdoors which we love!
All in all a great setting offering everything we need.
Thank you very much for such a positive review. We always aim to be as flexible as we can regarding sessions and timings.
Lovely staff who are engaging, helpful and friendly and its really good to see my child learn and thrive when in their care. I ask every day what has been leaned and the response I get from my child is great to hear.
The facilities although in an old building are outstanding and the way my child learns is new to me but seems to work well for my child. The team are extremely helpful and are on the ball. Sarah and Katie go over and above letting me know what has happened through the day.
The dinner she gets does not tend to change week to week and is generally not very imaginative, ie baked potato or pizza and veg. At my child's previous nursery the food was more imaginative and healthy (freshly made from scratch lunches and dinners with plenty of veg and fruit). I also try to limit refined sugar and salt in my child's diet (within reason for a 2 year old) but not sure if this is considered here however.
Overall, a truly brilliant nursery but think the food could be more nutritious.
Angels is an amazing montessori. The staff are incredible, knowledgable and kind. Both our girls are thriving there and so happy to go. We moved out of the area and still travel back so our girls can continue with the level of quality of care and opportunity to learn, in their very important early years.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It is great to see how the environment suits both of your girls, even though they are so different to each other and have varied interests.
My son loves going to Absolute Angels. He cannot wait to get there on the days he goes - if it was up to him he would go every day! My older son also went to the nursery and had a brilliant experience too. The staff are amazing and the Montessori ethos is excellent - it is a really special and unique place!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It is hugely appreciated. It has been a privilege to have both of your boys at the nursery.
Always runs in with a smile in the morning, and is so happy to tell me all about her day when I collect her. I love that they go above and beyond with extras such as visits from people in the community, trips out, sports days and Christmas concerts. Would 100% recommend.
Thank you for such a positive review. Your daughter's confidence has increased enormously and it is a joy to see her enjoying her time with us, exploring so many different activities with confidence. We try to bring the termly topics to life for the children.
Absolute Angels is fantastic and I couldn't recommend it more to other parents. My little boy loves it and he has such good relationships with the ladies who work there, they are all really amazing! There are always lots of fun things that kids do and it's nice to know they have something they learn about each term, adding a bit of structure.
Thank you so much for your positive review and recommendation of our nursery, it is much appreciated by the whole team. We are glad you and your son enjoy the termly projects as much as we do as it is amazing how much the children absorb and learn at this age!
The staff are very professional and lovely. Very caring and helpful. I would 100% recommend the nursery to my friends and anyone who wants to know that their children will be in good hands.
My little boy is still very excited and happy when he goes to nursery.
Thank you so much for such a great review and recommendation of our nursery. It means so much to us and will share your kind words with the team. We love seeing your son's huge smile every morning when he comes to nursery. He always brightens up our day!!
This is a fabulous nursery, we have seen our son flourish here and become a confident, happy and curious person. We moved him from another nursery to Angels and we can see the difference it has made. The staff are caring and encourage independence in the kids and know all the children as individuals. We would highly recommend Angels Montessori in Coggeshall.
Thank you so much for such a positive review and for recommending our nursery. It has been such a joy to watch your son grow and flourish in confidence over the time he has been with us.
To send our daughter to Absolute Angles is the best decision we have ever taken for her. She is growing to be an independent and confident young lady and the change in her since starting there has been remarkable. Every member of staff is so incredibly helpful and supportive. Seeing my daughter running to nursery with laughter is the best testament to the amazing work everyone is doing there.
They fulfil the children's day with fun and stimulating activities which create a foundation of learning and building new skills.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Absolute Angels to anyone!
We are delighted with the caring and nurturing environment that is established at Absolute Angels. We feel so comfortable dropping off our daughter in the knowledge that she will be cared for and supported by the amazing staff who form what feels like a family at the nursery. We are so impressed with how the staff work to develop her both socially, emotionally and academically. There is great communication between the staff and parents and we always feel comfortable to contact them for help or guidance. We are so pleased we found Absolute Angels!
The nursery has helped us be better parents, and we really appreciate the flexibility of their offering with regard to before & after nursery clubs.
We will be so sad when our son has to leave to go to school in September, but also excited to sign our daughter up when she is old enough.
We also have found their pricing very fair- other nurseries charge for Bank Holidays or days that they are closed but this nursery doesn’t and it’s so much more fair towards the parents. They are worth every penny.
Absolute Angels was right from the second I walked in for a tour.
The staff go above and beyond to ensure that your child is calm, and content and has a nursery experience tailored to them.
Not only that but as a parent they make you feel just as important and they feel like part of the family.
My son has absolutely thrived since being there and I only wish my eldest had gone there too! She’s 17 now and we didn’t live in the area to have known about it as an option.
The level of care and connection to your child is a level I couldn’t have dreamed of.
My son comes home every day chattering about his day and given he is speech-delayed it speaks volumes about just how happy he is there.
They aren’t just a nursery. They are a warm, loving, nurturing home from home.
I cannot recommend highly enough.
Thank you for everything you do.
He attends a long day, so gets to experience the breakfast club and after-school club and he loves all the range of activities he gets to engage in.

Meet the Team (6)
Diploma, EYP, QTS, Montessori Schools Association (MSA)
After a wide ranging career that spanned fashion and entertainment, as soon as I came in to contact with Montessori education, I was hooked. By April 1999, I first opened the doors of Absolute Angels to children and subsequently we have created pre Nursery Little Treasure Classes & Baby Massage courses in Coggeshall.
I have felt incredibly privileged to witness the amazing development of the many, many children who have attended Absolute Angels.
In recognition of almost 20 years dedication to early years and primary education, unerring peer support across the country, and simple exemplary practice, I received the prestigious Outstanding Contribution to the Montessori Community Award in March 2018.
Over the years I have also trained and continue to do so, hundreds of Montessori practitioners through our training company Hands On Learning both in early years and primary Montessori training courses.
Montessori International Diploma.
I followed in the footsteps of my two sons, who both came to Absolute Angels before I did. (They are now 23 and 21.)
When I first started working at the Nursery, I didn’t really intend to do any training, but I was so fascinated by the Montessori approach to education that I decided to find out more.
I was awarded my Early Childhood Teaching Diploma in June 2008. I have worked here for sixteen years, and have been Nursery Manager for eight.
Although I enjoy my mainly office-based job, I love getting the chance to spend time in the classroom with the children.
My two children attended Absolute Angels from two years of age, and ever since, I have had an interest in the Montessori philosophy.
I decided to train in 2014 and obtained my level 2 Montessori Foundation certificate and joined the team in the same year. In 2019 I joined the Level 4 Montessori scheme which I hope to complete in December this year.
Working at Absolute Angels is always inspiring and fun, and the children teach us something new every day.
Montessori Level 4 Qualification
I joined Absolute Angels in 2018 having previously worked in another Montessori Nursery Setting. I have a real passion for Montessori and have a Level 4 qualification. As well as working in the Angels team I also help with School’s Out both in term time and running the holiday clubs.
Katie works alongside Carole in the office three days a week.
I first became interested in the Montessori philosophy when I was fortunate enough to undertake my work experience at Absolute Angels during its first year of opening. During this time I was amazed at how effective the methods were, and enjoyed seeing the children in a classroom that let them be free to succeed and learn without restriction or criticism.
When I left school I stayed within the learning and development field, working as a Training Manager for the Probation Service for many years. However, I always hoped that one day I would be able to have a career that involved Montessori teaching in some way.
When a job came up at Absolute Angels in 2016, I applied straight away and was fortunate enough to start working in new my position in August 2016. My main role is in the office, supporting the Nursery Manager with the day to day running of the nursery. I also help in the classroom with the children, as well as running the breakfast club and School’s Out After School and Holiday Clubs. I love the variety my role brings and enjoy the interaction with the children every day.
I completed my Level 2 Montessori Early Years Classroom Assistant qualification in May 2017.
I have been acting in the role of Bursar for Absolute Angels Nursery for over 10 years. I enjoy being part of the team and helping with the continual success of the growing business.
Both my sons attended Absolute Angels Nursery and it really is such a happy, positive and enthusiastic place both for staff and all the children.
