Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We moved here from another Ivybridge Nursery, and my son is thriving. The staff are wonderful and helpful, communication is easy and clear. My son loves it here. It's very useful as my other child is at the school next-door. Transitioning next year will be simpler for my son.
Reply from Caroline Lucas, Director at Little Orchard Montessori Nursery - Woodlands
I am so glad the transition went well and that your son has settled. I will pass your thanks on to the Woodlands team.

Little Orchard Montessori Nursery - Woodlands is a fantastic start to your child’s education. The way in which they are taught and looked after is exceptional. The staff truly do a fantastic job and care about the quality of teaching and enjoyment that they deliver. The food choices offered are also
fantastic, letting children experience dishes from all around the world, this is so important and helps them become less fussy at home. I’m so pleased we chose to send our daughter to Little Orchard Montessori Nursery - Woodlands as it has helped her develop, make new friends and be well prepared to go on to school.

Such an amazing nursery with really friendly and helpful staff. My daughter started when she was 9-months old in a different location and my son was there from 2-years old till he started school. I wouldn’t go to another nursery in the area.

Can't offer the nursery enough credit to be honest. My child absolutely adores the staff and as he has been there for nearly two years. He has made friends with all the other children. I have no fear about leaving my child in the capable hands of the lovely ladies who work there. There is a wonderful
outdoor space which he loves and the meals are of amazing quality.

Review from Alana S (Mother of Child) published on 17 July 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic nursery. My son has been going to Woodlands since he was 18 months old and he loves it. The style of teaching is second to none and he has learned to become very independent and confident. The staff are warm and friendly, happy to offer a hug when needed but just as capable of gentle discipline
if required too. If I have more children I'll be booking them a space here without doubt. The use of the family app, so that I can see what my child is up to during the day is an added bonus. 5 stars!

Our daughter has a lovely time at Little Orchard, Woodlands, she looks forward to going and is always welcomed by the staff. They're often playing outside and making cakes. The activities are great and she already knows her alphabet and the phonemes. It always feels lovely and calm there. We would definitely
recommend it!

We are extremely pleased with Little Orchard Montessori Nursery - Woodlands.
Our daughter settled well into the nursery when she was only 15 months old. She has now been there for 16 months and has made lots of new friends (she refers to the staff as her best friends).
Our daughter’s development
has progressed considerably since she has started the nursery. The nursery itself feels very safe as it is situated in the grounds of the Primary School so is tucked away nicely. The team are all very friendly and regularly update us with our daughter's progress and development.
