My son has been going to Prima since he was 9 months old. All of the staff there are incredible and I have never had any concerns about leaving my son there who is now 2.

Would recommend it to everyone and have already put in the application for my daughter.

Review from J K (Father of Child) published on 19 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Prima is a high quality, nurturing, and engaging environment and my son loves attending! Moving my son from another setting has been the best decision for him, myself, and my wife as we now have peace of mind that he is getting the best start in life. Prima offer stimulating and unique activities every day and we love seeing pictures of how much he has enjoyed himself and his development on the parent app. The quality of care is next to none and a standard that is held at its highest by the manager, who truly goes up and beyond. The team welcome you every day with a smile and nothing is ever too much trouble. The nursery take part in themed activity weeks which is exciting for the children as there is always something fun for them to look forward to and not just for the children, but also for the parents too as there are also opportunities for us to come in too. I highly recommend Prima to all families searching for the best nursery for your little one.

Reply from Si, Senior Marketing Executive at Prima Montessori & Day Nursery

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your son is thriving in our environment and that you've found peace of mind in his care with us. It's a joy to welcome your family each day and we're delighted to share in the excitement of themed activity weeks together.

Review from Alison M (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I’m a first-time single mum by choice and found the whole experience of finding a nursery for my then 4-month-old quite overwhelming but the manager and staff made it really easy. I loved that the rooms were really broken down a bit by ability as my baby would have been tiny and completely reliant on his caregivers. I was sold once I’d learned that the babies can go in the garden when the weather is appropriate, the older children look after and hatch baby chicks and butterflies, and they even do yoga. The timings of the nursery suit long days where necessary.
My son has thrived in their care and I really believe they care about him. He’s formed good attachments with the staff. They respect and work with my baby-led weaning wishes, and are responsive to any anxieties or queries I have.

My son is happy and bouncing with excitement when I take him in of a morning, which makes it easier. The parent's mornings and special touches on holidays are a great touch. I couldn’t be happier.

Thank you for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience as a first-time single mom by choice.

Prima is a fantastic nursery, I am so glad both of my boys go there. All staff (and not just the ones in your child’s room) go above and beyond to make each day the best for the children. I couldn’t ask for a better place to send my children!

Review from Nicola M (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has attended Prima for 3 years and I’ve seen her come on leaps and bounds, both in confidence and developmentally.
The effort that the staff go to providing new and fun activities, themed throughout the year, to make learning fun is incredible. The kitchen staff provide a wonderful variety of healthy meals cooked onsite for the children. All of the staff are caring, friendly and nurturing creating a happy environment for the children to thrive in. The fact they have so many long-standing staff there is a testament to their manager who I can’t speak highly enough of and evidently runs a tight ship.

I strongly believe Prima has prepared her well for school and I will be sad for her to leave. Then our second daughter will begin her journey there in the summer! This time around I’m not nervous as I know how good the experience will be for her.

Reply from Sid, Senior Marketing Executive at Prima Montessori & Day Nursery

Thank you for your lovely review! It is wonderful to hear about the positive impact Prima has had on your daughter over the past three years. We're grateful for your confidence in our staff and management. We look forward to welcoming your second daughter in the summer and continuing to provide a wonderful experience for your family.

Prima is a fantastic nursery. Our daughter has built up a fantastic bond with the staff in every room she has been in. It has been an overall great experience and the peace of mind we get knowing she is in great care is invaluable. Our youngest daughter will also attend starting this year. Highly recommend.

Review from Ruth F (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Prima since February 2021 and absolutely loves it. All staff are polite and helpful, nothing is ever too much for them and they all know each child by name, greeting everyone around the building. We live in a single-parent house and the staff know which weekends and days her dad picks her up and when she makes things to bring home the staff ensures she has something for both parents. She loves all activities and talks about all her friends from nursery all the time. Her confidence has come on leaps and bounds since she started and the lessons and teaching the staff have done with her really shines through. I have always said it's a shame Prima doesn't teach the primary school years as well, I would love for her to continue to grow in the warm, loving and family environment that has been created at Prima.

Reply from Sid, Senior Marketing Executive at Prima Montessori & Day Nursery

Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear how much your daughter enjoys her time at Prima. It's heartwarming to know that she feels welcomed and valued by our staff. We're thrilled to see her confidence and friendships blossom here.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at the nursery for 6 months and loves it. From the moment we went to view the nursery, we knew it was the right place for us and haven’t been disappointed. The care and love shown to our daughter is clear to see, I think she’d happily stay there for the weekend too. We never feel apprehensive leaving her there as we know she’s very well looked after.

Review from Rebecca H (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
A nursery full of an abundance of kind, professional, caring, trustworthy and respectful staff. Their ability to meet the needs of all children across the nursery, including- allergies is above standards and expectations. Safeguarding is key, and Prima ensures all measures and policies of safeguarding for both children and parents are met. Their knowledge of providing activities to meet the ages of all children is impeccable and something as a parent myself I can see has helped my daughter to progress and meet each and every milestone she needs.

Highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe and professional environment for their children.

Prima have been absolutely amazing they brought my daughter on leaps and bounds. She really enjoys coming to school. She has made so many good friendships and absolutely loves all of her teachers. She’s a very energetic child and every day she comes home and she is knackered which shows she is burning her energy and having fun all day absolutely love the way the staff have been with her and couldn’t fault them for anything.

Review from I C (Mother of Child) published on 27 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I couldn’t have chosen a better nursery for my twins. They have settled in so well and are absolutely doted on.
The nursery manager has gone over and beyond to provide any extra support they needed to have an easy transition from being home to now being in their “home away from home”.
All their meals are cooked on-site and they offer a variety of food and cater for intolerances.

Prima staff are so attentive and dedicated to the children. I have zero concerns once I drop them off each day.

Review from Christine C (Mother of Child) published on 7 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We relocated in April last year, and I had concerns about how my son would adjust to a new nursery. The moment I walked into Prima Nursery, I knew it was the right choice.
The entire staff at Prima Montessori & Day Nursery has been incredible. I have complete confidence when I leave my son there. They have supported his development exceptionally well and taken care of him fantastically.
With him starting reception in September, we will undoubtedly miss everyone at Prima.

If you are in search of the perfect place for your little one, I wholeheartedly recommend Prima.

Overall Experience

The staff at Prima are exceptional! As a mother with a child with additional educational needs who had a terrible experience in another setting, I was apprehensive at first; however, those feelings went away rather quickly. The staff genuinely care about the kids in their setting and aren’t afraid to go above and beyond to ensure the children are happy and their holistic needs are met. I wish I had moved my daughter sooner.
