The Avenues Nursery have been amazing with my 16-month-old, he absolutely loves it and doesn't want to leave when we go home. Each day he comes back having learnt something new and staff really take the time to know each baby/child.

We're really pleased that your son is learning new things every day.

Review from Remi B (Father of Child) published on 13 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter loves this nursery - she toddles off each morning, happy and content, and we can leave her there safe in the knowledge that she is being excellently cared for by the wonderful staff at The Avenues.
The highlight of this nursery is most definitely the staff, who are with our child day in and day out and who are incredible - all of which makes leaving her there every day so much easier. They really make you feel as though your child is special, and we are so grateful that they are providing such a nurturing and warm environment for our child at such an important and key point of her life and development.

Our only points for improvement would be that whilst we love our occasional photo updates, we could always do with more! Also, the fees are creeping up which is making it a very expensive childcare option, and whilst we do appreciate that this is a national problem, at the rate it is going, it will quickly become unaffordable for most.

Review from Rachel C (Mother of Child) published on 11 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending this nursery shortly after we moved to the area in 2022. After initially starting her in a different nursery, we soon realised that she was miserable. We are so glad we then found The Avenues, because she settled in almost immediately and she's been happy at nursery ever since. Our daughter adores the staff, who are always supportive and work incredibly hard to make sure the children are safe, happy and learning. We will be sad to leave in September when our daughter starts school.

Reply from Joanne Wright, Chief Marketing Officer at The Avenues Montessori Nursery

That's really kind to say, thank you very much, we'll let the team know.

Review from Shayne M (Father of Child) published on 8 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We recently relocated to the UK and were naturally worried about how our little son would fit into his new environment. After a few days, our son had settled in nicely, enjoying the great facilities, designed for “ little people” and the excellent care and attention given to him by the teachers and support staff at the nursery. The nursery is well run and organised, creating an awesome atmosphere for the little people while helping them develop themselves through the process. I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone considering a quality nursery school for their children.

Reply from Joanne Wright, Chief Marketing Officer at The Avenues Montessori Nursery

We are delighted that your son has settled so well and you are happy with our nursery. Thank you for reviewing us.

Overall Experience

The staff were all very friendly and informative. They gave me a comprehensive update on both of my children's progress so far and the plans for the future. The facilities were excellent and very clean. I was also pleased with the child-focused style of the nursery and would recommend it to any parent, based on what I have seen so far.

Review from Sarah P (Mother of Child) published on 21 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter loves this nursery, and I have no complaints about the care she receives there, it's second to none. My only critic would be that I don't get the updates on the app throughout the day, I often get them in the evening, or once she's left for the day. I, therefore, can't see what she's eaten when she passed stools etc. My daughter suffers from constipation and is a fussy eater so it's good to see these things, so I can plan accordingly. It would also be nice to see what she's doing there more regularly, as I don't receive many updates. Great, clean, friendly, supportive nursery though and I'm looking forward to her developing throughout her final year there.

Reply from Beth Lewendon, Marketing Coordinator at The Avenues Montessori Nursery
Thank you for your positive feedback! We're thrilled to hear that your daughter loves our nursery and that you're happy with the care she receives, which we take great pride in providing.

We apologise for any inconvenience with the updates on the app. We understand the importance of receiving...

My child absolutely loves this nursery, although I just wish I had more photos and updates during his day as I never see any pictures of him throughout the day. That is the only thing I can comment on though he looks forward to going and is happy when he comes home.

My son has been attending the Avenues Montessori for a year, in that year he has developed so well cognitively and his speech is also developing very well. He is very happy with the team and always eats well there. Overall, I am very pleased with everything.
