My son attended the nursery for around three years and they was absolutely amazing! I tried so many nurseries before and this was by far the best. The carers are so lovely and really care about the children. I loved the garden area and the location of the nursery. I would only ever recommend here.
Thank you for the review and saying we are the best!
My son has been attending for the last six months. This is a superb nursery, I couldn't ask for a better place for my son to go to. My son needs support with his developmental delays and the staff always goes above and beyond. The children are offered indoor and outdoor opportunities daily to further their education. My son is also offered freshly cooked meals daily which are catered to my child's needs. The nursery and staff are always welcoming and the facilities are perfect for my child's needs.
Thank you for the review and saying we are a superb nursery.
Both my boys have been looked after at the nursery. My youngest can't wait for his nursery days and very much looks forward to playing with all his friends and taking part in all the fabulous activities the staff put on. The staff all know him by name and always greet him with a smile.
Thank you for the review and great to see both of your children making friends at our nursery.
My eldest son attended Prima Montessori & Day Nursery from the age of fourteen months and I could not have been happier with his experience, he built amazing relationships with the staff and children during his time there. So when it come to sending my youngest son to nursery I had no doubts about where to send him. He has been attending Prima since he was twelve months old and has again built amazing relationships with the staff who are fantastic and regularly mentions his older brother which is lovely. They keep us updated with a daily diary including regular updates of his progress through exercises and pictures. The development of both my children academically and socially has been brilliant and I wouldn't send them anywhere else.
Thank you for the review and lovely to hear your son has built so many wonderful relationships at nursery and made new friends.
My son has been going to Prima Montessori for five months now. He had a number of settling days at the start, more than the average as my son had a bit of separation anxiety and this helped him transition to full nursery days. The staff were fantastic and over the first few weeks really took the time to get to know my son and find out what he enjoys. They even took on our reward sticker chart method for my son's toilet training! My son is thriving and I can't praise the team enough for all their efforts and kindness. I feel my son is in an environment that challenges him and is fun. It's heartwarming when he comes home and describes his day using new words and phrases that show me the staff are promoting interaction with other children and themselves.
Thank you for the review and saying staff are fantastic!
I have also been treated with paintings of fireworks, Halloween spiders, autumn finger tree painting and more. I love the fact he is so creative and I have been given so many ideas to help me at home! Thank you to all of the staff here!
Thank you for the review and we are glad you are happy leaving your son at nursery. Great to see him learning new skills and being more sociable.
I have to say, my son has been going to this nursery since he was one year old and he is doing amazing. He has come a long way with his learning to speak. (two years old now) He is always asking to go back in when I pick him up. Communication with the manager and staff is fantastic, we keep each other in the loop with the progress of my son. We have another little boy who will also be joining this fab team. I must do a shout-out to the lady who looked after our first child and would love her to look after our second. Also, a shout-out to the lady for looking after our boy now, couldn't be happier with this nursery.
Thank you for the review and great to see your son developing in his speech.
Staff give feedback at the end of each day, and you get a log of what activities your child has done, what they've eaten and how long they have slept that day.
I can't praise the nursery enough!
Thank you for the review and for saying the staff are fantastic.
Our daughter attended Prima Montesorri and very much enjoyed her time there. She left having made friends with pupils and staff. The team are highly attentive and provide good feedback at the end of each day. This is also the case when development goals or milestones are reached. They provide a wide range of activities, both indoors and out. The menus provide a variety of food with plenty of healthy snacks on offer throughout the day. Communication is frequent via email but not overly so. Parents and carers are kept up to date with all relevant news and future plans. We highly recommend this nursery.
Thank you for the review and great to hear your daughter enjoyed her time at our nursery.
My son went to Prima Montessori & Day Nursery for a short while, but while he was there I just cannot sing their praises enough. This is such an amazing nursery, being a first time mum, I was very sceptical about finding the right nursery and after viewing a few nurseries, I fell in love with Prima Montessori & Day Nursery on their open day. My son had such a lovely bond with all the staff and they always gave me really good feedback at the end of each day and on the portal. They really put a lot of thought and love into making the nursery what it is and we were really gutted we had to leave but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything else. I will like to say a BIG thank you to all the staff at Prima for being so caring to my little one and we miss you.
Thank you for the review and saying we are an amazing nursery.
In addition, when my child first went to nursery he developed an awful medical condition that was only first presented at the nursery, their quick thinking and excellent efforts here meant we had a diagnosis from the hospital very quickly, with the specialist congratulating those that had dealt with this at the nursery.
I trust them completely and know they go above and beyond every day.
Thank you for the review and saying Prima is a wonderful nursery and that we have taken great care with your child.
My boy loves being at nursery, it's such a wonderful place to be and he's surrounded by great people which is all we can ask for.
He always comes out with a smile on his face, always full and the updates provided to us directly from the Prima nursery and via the app gives us the best opportunity to see our child grow.
We really couldn't ask for anything more as a parent.
Thank you for the review. It is great to hear you are happy with our nursery. It's lovely to see your child having a wonderful time.
I can't recommend Prima Montessori highly enough.
My son can't wait to go to nursery on his two half days; he has settled incredibly quickly and has the most amazing relationships with his key workers and nursery room leader.
We get daily updates, including pictures, and it is abundantly clear that he is thriving. It is obvious that his developmental, emotional, and social needs are being met at nursery with the highest degree of diligence.
Thank you for the review. We love having your son at our nursery. Great to hear he has settled in with his key workers and is enjoying nursery.
Our daughter has been attending Prima Montessori for 10 months now, starting in the baby room. I was anxious about her starting nursery so young but it has been absolutely brilliant for her. She loves going to "school" and is always so happy when we pick her up. Her carers are amazing, so kind, and caring and make us feel like they are as proud of her achievements as we are. The office staff are very hands-on and show that this is not run solely as a business but that all members of staff are passionate about the children and their well-being.
The hours available were key factors for us. Both I and my husband are self-employed and this offers us the flexibility we need with our childcare. The fact that they ensure our daughter is so happy in their care, relieves some of the "mum guilt" and allows me to be fully present when working. I would highly recommend Prima Montessori and have already put my son's name down on the waiting list for when he is older.
Thank you for the review. It is lovely to hear your daughter is so happy coming to nursery. We love taking care of all the children and watching them grow and develop.
Both our children have been attending this nursery, one from 4 months old, and they both come out full of energy and smiling ear to ear. They have both become very independent and caring individuals, and highly recommend this Prima Montessori.
Thank you for the review, it's great to hear your children are happy at nursery and that they have both become very independent.
Both of my sons have attended here one is currently still attending. Staff are absolutely great and we have built a really good relationship with the staff over the years. I am updated regularly and if there are ever any issues these are looked into straight away. My son absolutely loves going in and his self-development has really grown. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family without a doubt.
Hi, thank you for saying the staff are great! It has been lovely to see your son grow in self-development and enjoying nursery.
This nursery has been a huge part of my daughters development. I am always very impressed with what she comes home and talks about when discussing her day. She often learns new skills and is consistently practicing ways of becoming more independent which she thrives off. The staff communicate well with parents and I always feel like I know what she has been up to due to the pictures and notes shared on the app at the end of each day. She particularly loves all of the songs they sing. My second daughter will be joining her next year!
Hi, thank you for the review, it's lovely to hear the nursery has been a big part of your daughters development. We love that she is a part of our family!
I can wholeheartedly recommend Prima to everyone.
Hi, it's lovely taking care of your children and thank you for saying the staff are exceptional!
We chose Prima Montessori due to it's outstanding and credible Ofsted report and it certainly has lived up to expectations. There is great focus on personal development of a child and encouraging independence. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and the stimulating environment made it very easy for my children to settle there. The staff constantly monitor the progress of children and as parents we are kept fully informed through a daily log which includes photos and observations. For us, Prima Montessori is more than just a nursery and an extension of home life as their values are in line with the early year's stage and a great foundation for building character and preparing children for the next stage of school life.
Hi, it is great your children have settled into nursery and become part of our family. We love taking care of our little ones!
I’ve been using Prima Montessori for my little girl since January 2020 and I have to say I wouldn’t have gone anywhere else. She loves going to nursery, the activities she gets up to during the day have enabled her to excel beyond her age. She was able to write her own name before she even turned 4! The staff are amazing, the rooms are so engaging for the children and really allow them to explore their own interests with the guidance of excellent room leaders. She also gets plenty of garden play, which she adores. The lunches she gets are well balanced and she loves them. I will definitely be using Prima for my second daughter when the time comes, cannot recommend highly enough.
Hi, it's lovely to hear your little girl loves coming to nursery and is developing and exploring her interests.
