Absolute Angels is a truly amazing environment and my little boy has come on leaps and bounds since coming to this setting. The staff are very caring and create such a safe place for my little boy that he doesn't actually want to leave when it comes to home time! My son's key worker goes above and beyond for my son and he is very happy when he sees her face at drop-off. We chose this nursery for our son because we loved the Montessori way of teaching and this has made my son extremely independent now being able to put on his own coat and shoes and has been so confident in wanting to potty train! I love that my son learns through play, he has learnt all of his colours and can count up to 10 at the age of 2! Since coming to Absolute Angels his speech has come along so nicely and he does not stop talking now! I cannot thank the team at Absolute Angels enough for all they have done for my son since he started here last September, we are so happy with this nursery.
The help and support we have been given since our youngest started nursery has been incredible, the staff really take the time to get to know each child individually and really support their interests and specific likes and needs. The children are taught a great deal of independence through the Montessori approach to learning and it really is such a calm engaging environment for the children. The staff are great at supporting children and getting them ready for their transition into school and parents are kept informed and up to date on their child’s development. It really is a great setting.
Our son is so happy at Absolute Angels, he comes home talking about his day and his friends. The team are all very caring and the environment is so enriching for the children and their development. We are so lucky to have found them. They take the time to settle the children into the nursery right from the start, and I would definitely recommend the nursery and team.
My daughter started at Absolute Angels in April 2022. She has always been very attached to me but since she has been going to nursery, her confidence has grown incredibly and she looks forward to seeing her friends there every week. The ladies that look after the children do an amazing job, they are all so warm and friendly. I couldn’t recommend this nursery more.
Absolute Angels have exceeded expectations. The whole team are warm and friendly with a genuine passion for what they do and an interest in the children. Both my sons love their time at Absolute Angels and have built strong relationships with the team, with two members of staff in particular. My eldest is now at school but has asked if he can attend the after-school club once a week due to his love of the team. With regards to development the boys have without doubt benefited from the Montessori style of teaching and gain so much each day they attend. The team are also very supportive of me and will always do what they can to help and support us as a family where they can. We all love Angels!
Absolute Angels is in my opinion the very best of the best. My daughter really struggled with leaving her family to start nursery and it was a worrying time for us. Every member of staff went out of their way to help and settle her in. The staff are simply brilliant. The result of their kindness, patience and understanding is I now have a very happy little girl who literally skips in smiling for every session. Her confidence has increased tenfold and she will tell anyone (and everyone!) how much she loves Angels. As parents, we are fully informed by the nursery of everything she is doing and how she is progressing. My daughter is encouraged to learn for herself and her inquisitive mind is being stimulated. I could not ask for anything more. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.
Could not be happier with the nursery! My son is very attached to me but has run into Angels every day since he started because he loves it so much. All the staff are great and so wonderful with my little fella!
We have sent all of our children to Absolute Angels and have found the care exemplary. The team are wonderful and have always shown my boys such love, care and attention as well as being knowledgeable and approachable. The topics per term are broad and the Montessori way of approaching early years learning allows for autonomy and compassion. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the nursery to any prospective parents looking for a childcare setting locally.
My son has been attending Absolute Angels for 5 months now and we couldn't be happier. The team is organised, professional, friendly, and caring. The facilities are fantastic, with a great outdoor space for children to play in, as well as a ton of educational toys and activities provided. We love the online photos and updates the nursery provides on a weekly basis. My youngest can't wait to attend this Autumn! Highly recommend.
Absolute Angels is really a very special place for children. So much love, care and support is offered here to enable children to grow and learn confidently and independently. A lovely homely feel with amazing educational equipment. Wouldn't send my children anywhere else.
My son started at Absolute Angels in April 2022, aged 2. We chose Absolute Angels because of the expertise and care of the staff, the beautiful space and equipment and because we really agree with the Montessori ethos. Out of several local nurseries that we visited, it was the one that we had the best feeling about. We have not been disappointed and have been supported every step of the way so far. It feels like a safe and inviting space to leave my son and he has really blossomed in his confidence over the last year.
The staff are so passionate about their jobs and go above and beyond to make any transition as gentle as possible. The ethos of Absolute Angels is everything that I would like my child to adopt. I'd recommend this nursery to anyone!
Our son joined Angels in September 2021 after we relocated to the area, so there was a lot of change for him. Angels were great with the settling-in process, giving honest feedback and excellent communication to let us know how he was getting on. The learning is structured to make it meaningful and interesting to the individual child and this really shows when our son talks about nursery. He loves the experiments that they do, the themed weeks, and the little trips out and about! He’s clearly learning lots which is shown through his vocabulary and attention to activities. All the staff are so friendly and professional, we would recommend Angels to all parents!
We recently switched to Absolute Angels in November 2021 and our daughter loves it. She settled in very quickly and is flourishing. The setup is very child-led where possible so children can choose to join in with activities or do something else that they are interested in.
Since my daughter started at Absolute Angels in September last year I have been really impressed with how caring, friendly and professional all the staff are. She was a slightly nervous customer to start off with and they went out of their way to help her (and us!) settle in quickly. She thoroughly enjoys her time there and loves exploring the wide range of activities available to her. The communication by the staff is really thorough and the addition of the My Montessori site really helps us to get an insight into our daughter's time at nursery and her development with their curriculum.
All staff members (currently female) are amazing so patient caring and professional.
It is more expensive compared to conventional nurseries however the Montessori materials available and concepts far out way the additional costs. Can’t recommend enough.
Both our sons have attended Absolute Angels and have thrived being there, the care is second to none and the staff go above and beyond to make you and your children feel happy, especially during these strange Covid times! Children are offered a wide range of activities and are always engaged.
We were initially unsure whether to start our daughter at a nursery at the age of two as we were worried she maybe too young, however after going to view Absolute Angels Montessori Nursery (Coggeshall) we decided to give it a chance and we are so glad we did. She settled so quickly with the amazing support of the extremely kind and caring staff who all radiate so much warmth towards all of the children. It wasn't long before she was asking every day if it was a nursery day and couldn't wait to get in the car to go. There is such a large range of different resources for her to choose from on a daily basis and she loves telling us about the 'work' she has been doing at nursery every day. The child lead environment has allowed her to grow in so much in confidence, independence and has already taught her so many different life skills that she can now do for herself. There are also great afternoon activities such as yoga, kitchen skills and her favourite 'Friday Dancing'. We couldn't ask for a better nursery.
Our son has absolutely thrived at Absolute Angels and I cannot recommend it highly enough! He literally cannot wait to get in there in the mornings and is so full of excitement when he comes out and loves telling us about his day. We’ve seen him develop in confidence and gain such independence since being at Angels and the work they have done in preparing him for school is brilliant. We know he will start school with confidence and this is all credit to the staff at Angels. They treat the children with such kindness and respect and allow them to “work” on their areas of interest whilst also covering the necessary. He absolutely adores the staff at Angels and we know he couldn’t be in safer hands. Cannot recommend Absolute Angels enough!
So much more than "just" a nursery. Absolute Angels provides a perfectly balanced environment of fun, care and learning opportunities, all wrapped up in a welcoming, safe and secure setting. The staff are all brilliantly knowledgeable and friendly; we have total confidence that every moment our daughter spends there is helping her to develop into the inquisitive and sociable person that she is becoming. In addition, the efficient administration behind the scenes, and flexibility of hours, fits perfectly with our family's busy lifestyle.

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.
