Overall Experience

The staff at Prima could not do any more for my son, they are kind and caring and all work so hard to make sure he is happy. This is our second time around and they were just as amazing with our first son - Thank you all so much.

Review from Alice B (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending nursery since she was 15 months old (now coming up 3 yrs) and we have been very happy with the care she receives at Prima. She is always looking forward to her nursery days and comes out happy and excited to tell me about her day. The staff are friendly and kind and go out of their way to make the children's experience great, they keep us up to date with regular pictures and a daily diary. My daughter has developed a great bond with the staff in her room and most days she doesn't want to leave when I pick her up.

Thank you for the review and lovely to hear your daughter is happy with the team and looks forward to coming to nursery.

Review from Elizabeth C (Mother of Child) published on 21 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We are so pleased with the care and service we have received at Prima Montessori & Day Nursery. Every staff member greets us with smiles, cheerful hellos and goodbyes every day. We are fortunate to have found such a wonderful nursery for our daughter who now runs in and waves goodbye to us confidently. Excellent communication, even with a tiny scratch that our daughter may have caught herself with her nail, we are always caught up to date. The staff in the baby room are caring and consistently treat our daughter well, they know if she is having an 'off' day or when she may be unwell straight away. Our daughter has an excellent relationship with the staff and we are so grateful for their time, effort and care every day.

Overall Experience

My son has attended since he was 10 months old and he will be turning 5 this year. My mind is at ease knowing he is in safe hands at Prima Montessori & Day Nursery. The staff are welcoming and friendly. My son looks forward to attending and always has a lot to talk about when he is picked up. The activities they do are creative and relatable. The online daily reporting system is very helpful and simple to use. I always look forward to the weekly observations to see what my boy has been up to. Prima was recommended to me and I would highly recommend them to any family.

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.

Overall Experience

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.

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.

Review from C S (Mother of Child) published on 28 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Linda S (Mother of Child) published on 28 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Scarlett M (Mother of Child) published on 28 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I was quite apprehensive and nervous about my son starting nursery so young at the age of seven months, being the youngest but from the open day to the settling-in sessions the staff have made me feel at ease. They are polite, warm and do everything they can for him in my absence. It has made me feel confident to go to work and know he is being well looked after, learning through Montessori he has become so independent playing at home, learning new motor skills and the most sociable baby! He loves interacting with babies, children and adults everywhere we go and this has definitely come from being in the social setting at Prima nursery. We love receiving the photos, daily log and videos of him. They will be stored as special memories to come!

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!

Overall Experience

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.

My son attends Prima Montessori and loves it. The staff are fantastic and attentive and give excellent care to my 2.5-year-old. He has made great progress and has a lovely bond with his key worker.
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!

Review from Mark S (Father of Child) published on 11 October 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Mariam P (Mother of Child) published on 18 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Ewa E (Mother of Child) published on 6 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This is a wonderful nursery where every little thing has been considered. Nothing is too much trouble and additional events brought into the curriculum such as growing their own chicks give such wonderful experiences.
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.

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.

Review from Laura J (Mother of Child) published on 17 June 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Carly G (Mother of Child) published on 17 June 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

When I first walked into the nursery a few years ago I just knew this was the nursery for my son.

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.
