Review from L D (Mother of Child) published on 18 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my daughter and son went to nursery here and have had a great experience. They settled really quickly and in every class they were in, the staff have all been amazing. The activities they do with the children are so varied, they have a big outdoor space and forest school and we were given regular updates and observations on how they were doing. The staff are super attentive - so much so that they were the ones that picked up when my daughter wasn't breathing normally during her nap (which ended up with a hospital stay but caught early thanks to the staff being so caring and observant). Would 100% recommend it!

Overall Experience

My children have both attended Walton Montessori, the younger one having gone from the baby room all the way up to graduating from preschool in two weeks. I've absolutely loved their time there and they are happy to go in. The teachers and staff are wonderful, so caring and supportive. The key workers have worked with my children through every growth, every transition and been so helpful and supportive.

Overall Experience

My son and daughter have both been extremely well looked after at Walton Montessori and we all feel part of the family. They have loads of fun in the big garden and forest school, and doing theatre bugs! My daughter has additional needs and staff have been very attentive and caring, making time to discuss strategies often with myself and my partner, and have helped us so much in so many ways. We are so grateful, and so glad we found Walton Montessori. It really is a special place.

Review from Lyubina L (Mother of Child) published on 6 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter started at Walton Montessori two months before she turned three.
I was anxious about her starting nursery and expected it to be a traumatic and long settling-in period due to her strong attachment to me.
She has settled in so smoothly and well it took less than two months thanks to the nurturing environment created by the team.
I can't express my satisfaction and gratitude enough for the care and support provided to her by her teachers.
I must especially highlight the invaluable role of her key person.
The key person's care, love, support, and positivity have had a huge impact on my daughter's settling in at the nursery.
Her regular observations and feedback have been incredibly informative and reassuring for me as a parent. Her enthusiasm and dedication are truly remarkable.

Great work and a huge thank you to everyone at Montessori!

Review from P M (Father of Child) published on 3 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
After a year at Walton Montessori, our child still runs to the door every day to go in. It’s our child’s 4th childcare setting and 3rd nursery.
It’s a great place that we’d recommend to anyone.
The learning while having fun approach is spot on and the outdoors spaces they have are a real bonus.

It’s a great place.

Review from Sophia B (Mother of Child) published on 29 May 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

A bustling and social nursery. The staff seem so happy and their manner with the children is loving. Varied activities to stimulate the children. Often arranging events to integrate the parents. I was reassured by the various cultures celebrated, the male to female staff ratio and the quality of chef-cooked food. My eldest is a tough nut to crack; she did not settle with the childminder and was often off nursery due to illness. Yet, she did settle and become very fond of the professionals. My only concern was how onerous the app updates must feel for employees.

Overall Experience

Wonderful nursery. The staff are amazing and really go above and beyond to make the children's days fun, interesting and educational. They have a lovely forest school area, so the children get to whittle little pencils and make hot chocolate whilst in nature. Our daughter absolutely loved it here, and her speech and development have been amazingly fast as a result. Lovely community feel and also places to park your car and leave your buggies too. Highly recommend!

Overall Experience

The nursery has been an amazing experience for my son and us as parents. Loving and caring staff, lots of activities with and for children. Kids grow and develop in a safe and comfortable environment. The app also helps parents to get updates on their baby's daily activities. If not for the relocation, we'd love to stay here until school and bring other (future) siblings here too. Amazing!

Review from K Y (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Overall this is a good nursery, with a particular positive being the friendly staff, who are absolutely fantastic with the kids!
It is convenient to drop off and pick up, with parking being available most of the time (when selfish locals don’t block the parent spaces!)
There is a good focus on a varied food menu, with special occasions being celebrated with themed food.
The forest school and outside area were a key factor in my choosing the nursery, they are blessed with excellent facilities in this respect.
I find it hard to comment on resources/equipment as parents aren’t allowed into the nursery, so I’m not really sure what they have in this respect, but there always seems to be plenty of activities and themed play organised.

Overall, lots of positives and the staff are such a strong element of this nursery!

My daughter goes to Walton Montessori and I will have no hesitation sending my second one here this year too! A wonderfully nurturing environment with fantastic staff. My daughter goes to nursery happy and leaves each day exhausted as her day is filled with activities and play. Great outdoor space with a forest garden.

The people who work at the nursery are all so caring. They do such nice things with them. My daughter comes home singing songs she has learned. Now she is settled, she basically runs through the door every morning excited to go.

Overall Experience

Our children have both been at Walton Montessori for over a year and it's been a very positive experience for us! The staff are fantastic and the attrition rate low, so the children and parents build great relationships with the teachers. Our two are thriving there and we can't recommend the nursery highly enough. Exceptional management, great forest school and regular feedback and photos of what the kids get up to.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Walton Montessori Nursery for a year and loves it. She runs in every day, this morning she didn't even have time to say goodbye in her eagerness to get in there. She loves all the nursery staff and frequently talks about them. They do great activities with the children and update us regularly. Her development in phonics and rhymes over the year has been phenomenal. Forest School is a real plus for us too and she often chats about her adventures there. I have been really impressed by the management team and also the level of care each individual takes. I feel my daughter is in the very best hands and nothing is too much trouble. Thank you.

Review from Shaz S (Father of Child) published on 11 August 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

All the lovely staff of Walton Montessori Nursery (WMN) were part of our daughter's development and 1st stages in life and helped to prepare her for school through creative and educational activities. From day 1 they have made us feel very welcome and my little girl settled into nursery so quickly with a smile at the end of most days which was down to the care and attention of the nursery staff. Initially, our daughter was very shy and struggled with her previous nursery to integrate with other children. One of the most impressive achievements at Walton Montessory Nursery was to guide and nurture our daughter's social skills. A year and a half later, she has become confident to express herself and able to socialise with other children freely. A big thank you to all the team it was a great milestone for us. Many thanks from the heart for all your hard work, love, dedication, patients to the children I can't recommend Walton Montessori Nursery enough. It is a very special place for children and we will never forget them.

Overall Experience
My daughter has attended since September and we are very happy with how the nursery communicates and keeps us informed. They have done very well with covid restrictions and guidelines at a time when management changed hands too.

My daughter has settled well and bonded with the staff who are caring and fun. They have great enthusiasm for new themes and different learning environments making the most of the resources they have.

Maria Colwell
Maria ColwellJob Title:Nursery Manager and SENCoJoined: 2018

I have been working in Early Years for over 23 years, I have a level 5 in Early Years and am also Forest School trained. I have a passion for teaching in the early years and seeing how children learn and develop in their first stage of life is so important and of course supporting parents in all stages of the early years. I am also SENCo trained and support any additional. We as a team are like a family I work closely in all rooms and support staff with teaching methods with my knowledge.

Maria Orji
Maria OrjiJob Title:Nursery Manager Under Threes

I consider myself a committed, creative, and enthusiastic educator who believes in making learning fun for children. My 21 years’ experience in schools and nurseries has taught me that parents are children’s first educators, making communication with them vital to children’s learning and development. I am passionate about providing a stimulating and natural learning environment for children; especially considering the nature deficit created because of lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic. Over the years, I have developed the leadership skills crucial to inspiring and motivating teams into working together to create an ethos of quality, learning, care, and development for all children.
