Siobhan is amazing and is so helpful with every request. She also supports my mother who sometimes picks up three children! Mel, Ashleigh and Sharon in junior monti room are fabulous with our son and summer and Chloe are amazing in the baby room. We have noticed our baby has really developed since being there.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear that both of your children are so happy at Prima Montessori. Building strong relationships with every child and family is at the heart of everything we do, so it's lovely to know this has made a positive difference to your experience.
We came out feeling at ease knowing the cleanliness, care and safeguarding standards are set high and overall at the children looked like they was having fun whilst learning.
We have been sending our son here for the past 2 months and he comes out so happy every time and with a full belly of food for the day, as all meals and snacks are provided, also milk and nappies too.. which makes the mornings for 2 working parents that little bit easier to get out the door on time, not having to worry about packing up and extras.
The management and staff so lovely and helpful and know all the children by their names, they go above and beyond for them making first days and birthdays specials too. You won't be disappointed to send your little ones here!

The whole nursery is very welcoming and from our first conversation about a visit to our daughters first day the communication was very professional and made her transition into a nursery setting very easy.
Would recommend to anyone looking for a nursery.

I really love this nursery, the staff are all extremely friendly, it's very clean and tidy with a really nice garden. My son loves it here. I feel comfortable dropping him off as an anxious parent and I would recommend this nursery to anyone. He also eats way more here than he does for me at home
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We're delighted your son enjoys his time here and that our team and environment help you feel comfortable. It's great to hear he's eating well too!
My little boy has been thriving since being at Montessori's in Capstone. I have noticed his development has progressed massively and it gives me a peace of mind that whilst I am out working that he is in safe hands. The ladies and gentlemen who work there are fantastic and have such enthusiasm and energy. They provide me with a handover at the end of the evening which is lovely as it keeps me up to date with his day while he hasn't been with me. The management team are outstanding and have been very flexible and accommodating to anything I ask of them. If I have a question or request they always handle them straight away. They communicate brilliantly. The whole team should be very proud of themselves as they make this service such a pleasure and Nothing is ever to much. They are up to date and very modern with technology, you can also see what activities and nutrition they have had throughout the day. The manager and her team I can't give enough credit. You are all super stars .
Every child is encouraged, supported and enjoyed. Staff are friendly and so so helpful regardless of how small your enquiry is.
My child went to a nursery before Prima and I had to leave them crying. I decided to move to Prima and it was the best decision. My child is happy, cheeky and loves this nursery. Now they can't wait to leave me at the door and often it takes me a while to get them to leave!
Well done Prima!

With spacious classrooms and a secure outdoor area that encourages exploration and physical activity.
Communication with parents is excellent, we receive regular updates on our child's progress and daily sheets which gives us peace of mind and keeps us connected to their learning journey.
Above all, the genuine affection and dedication from the staff makes Prima Montessori feel like a second home. Our child has blossomed in confidence, curiosity, and social skills, and we are grateful for the positive impact this nursery has had on their early development.
Without hesitation, we give Prima Montessori a 10/10 rating and highly recommend it to other parents seeking a nurturing and enriching environment for their children.

It's our mission to create a nurturing environment where every child can thrive, and it means so much to us to know we've made a positive difference for your family.
We chose this nursery over two years ago and visited another between then and our daughter starting, which was far closer to our house and great, but didn't compare. Having just completed our first term I would highly recommend Prima Montessori. We have asked 100 questions (maybe more) and had a variety of challenges but everything has been handled with a personal touch, a positive attitude and a very open mind. Whether it's what to feed your child or helping them settle, everything is done with your and even your parenting preferences in mind. We look forward to next term.
Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We're thrilled that you chose us after careful consideration and are delighted that your experience has been so positive. We know how important it is to address every question and challenge with care and it's great to hear that you've felt supported every...
Prima Montessori at Capstone has been amazing with my son, really friendly, welcoming and a nurturing environment. He's had such a positive experience, both socially and in terms of developmental milestones. They offer a great selection of food/meals and the staff are lovely. I'd definitely recommend it.

Our daughter has attended Prima since she was 13 months old and she is now 3.5 and myself and my husband could not be happier with the care provided. She is absolutely thriving and I really think the staff go above and beyond to provide such a caring and nurturing environment. Our daughter has really blossomed and we have found that her development is really supported and encouraged.

I am thoroughly impressed with this nursery. My son has been attending for a few weeks now and he absolutely loves it. The staff are excellent with him, providing me with peace of mind knowing he is well cared for. They offer a diverse range of meals, encouraging the children to explore different flavours and keep them engaged with various activities that foster their curiosity and learning. Every staff member I've met has been incredibly welcoming and genuinely friendly.

I cannot rate Montessori enough. To the point, I even got my boss's son to go there. My child was massively behind with his speech and eating habits. He has come on leaps and bounds since taking him away from the childminder. Every single member of staff is always happy, and so helpful. I suffer from anxiety and the nursery has done nothing but put my mind at ease. I have no worries at all, and my child will run off and leave me to be with his peers, something he never did with the childminder. I’m always kept up to date on his progress. I just wish I had found Prima Montessori way before I did!
We're overjoyed to hear how much our Montessori has positively impacted your child's speech and eating habits! Knowing we've eased your anxiety and brought such happiness to your family is incredibly rewarding. Thank you for recommending us so passionately, and we're glad to have you and your boss's son in our community!
Neat atmosphere for children. Very friendly staff. My son never said I don't want to go to 'school'. He's always happy with his nursery. I commend all the staff there for a job well done for all the kids.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're overjoyed that your son is always excited to come to 'school' and enjoys the friendly atmosphere we've created. Our staff works tirelessly to ensure all children feel happy and supported, so your commendation means the world to us. Here's to many more fun and happy days at nursery!
They care about the children and we believe their style of coaching a child really brings out an independent and confident side in all that go there. Thanks very much.
Wow, thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear how much your son has blossomed and built wonderful relationships with his teachers and friends. Our goal is to nurture independence and confidence in every child, so it's heartwarming to know we've hit the mark. We truly appreciate...
Prima Montessori provides a lovely, nurturing setting where my baby and toddler attend. The staff are always helpful and there to offer advice and listen to anything your children need. Both of my children go in, and come home happy after a day of wide-ranging activities, including watching chicks hatch and grow! Also, I love getting updates and pictures of activities they have been doing, as well as a newsletter.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted that your baby and toddler are thriving at Prima Montessori and enjoying the variety of activities, including the exciting chick-hatching experience. We love keeping you updated with pictures and newsletters. Knowing your children come home happy makes our day!
My kids both love going and have grown very fond of all their key workers. They learn so much and do loads of amazing activities. The staff give us an update upon collection and the app is very useful to check nap times, nappy changes and what food they have eaten. The kids especially love the garden. We would highly recommend it.
We're overjoyed to hear that both of your kids love attending Prima and have formed such strong bonds with their key workers! Our friendly and helpful staff are dedicated to creating a nurturing environment. The garden is a favourite, and we're glad you find the app useful for updates!
Prima is a fantastic nursery. As a first-time Mum I was full of anxiety about sending my daughter (at just turned 1 year) to nursery 4 days per week. Initially it took her a few weeks to adjust to a new routine but the staff are so brilliant and really helped her, and me, with the settling-in process. She now absolutely loves going to nursery, she gives everyone big smiles in the morning and has grown in confidence. The nursery do so many fun activities with her every day, more than I could alone at home, and she loves them all especially messy play. Highly recommend!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to have helped ease your anxiety as a first-time mum. Seeing your daughter's confidence grow and her joy in messy play and other activities warms our hearts. Highly recommend right back at you - we're so glad you're part of the Prima family!
