After visiting a few local nurseries, we chose Bay Tree for its calm atmosphere and for the clear dedication of its staff. Our daughter went there for two years, from two years three months until starting Reception. All the staff have been outstanding in looking after her. She really enjoyed being able
to contribute to "grownup" activities, such as folding towels, alongside cooking, playing in the garden, painting, gardening, and many other things. We really enjoyed that she was treated there as we treat her at home, with care and the long term picture of developing her confidence in mind.

I would like to highly recommend Bay Tree Montessori to everybody. My son spent there two fantastic years, he enjoyed every single day in the nursery and he made lots of friends. He learned a lot, each day was full of exciting activities and fun. The staff was very supportive and kind. My son does miss
his nursery and all the fantastic people in there.

All of our children went to Bay Tree with currently the youngest started in Aug this year and she is doing great. I still remember the first time I entered Bay Tree and was amazed by how calm the environment was and how content the children seemed to be. All the teachers were lovely and attentive. Most
importantly, they treat my children the way I would do myself at home - gentle, forgiving and lots of cuddles and guidance. There are no reward charts, no naughty steps, instead, there are lots of talking about their own feelings and role modelling. Children get to learn at their own pace and they make friends with different aged groups, which I think is very important especially for the younger ones. My youngest now often comes home and her clothes would have been changed multiple times during the short morning she stays there, which shows she was allowed to have fun (playing with water) and the staff was very caring. Thank you so much Bay Tree, you have been an important part of our lives!

We can’t fault the team. Their input has made such positive changes to our little one and to us also. The team hold themselves to high standards and practice what they preach. We don’t have other children but if we did we would send them to Bay Tree.
Hands down one of our best decisions since becoming
parents.

We are very happy with Bay Tree Montessori Nursery. All the girls are super nice. My son is always excited when it is time to go to nursery he never cries or complains and that is very important to us.
We can see he has been learning a lot and his social skills and relationships with other kids and
staff are great thanks to Montessori. The tapestry is an excellent way to check your child's development and to make any comments if you want to.

What can I say? Bay Tree are absolutely outstanding. I cannot praise them highly enough. Through the dedicated caring and knowledgeable staff, to a beautiful, family-feel nursery setting, our little boy has flourished.
They picked up very early on that our son had special educational needs and have
been so supportive and instrumental in putting is in contact with the paediatrician and speech and language therapist. They have also worked tirelessly to secure his funding. We are so very grateful. Our son absolutely adores nursery and as parents, we trust them 100% with our wonderful boy. Thank you to the whole team.

I have one word, and that is Exceptional. My 3 year old son has been attending this setting for over six months and is thriving. The care and support he receives, both emotionally and educationally, is fantastic. He is a very well natured and caring little boy who loves to help his peers and friends
but can also be extremely strong willed which I am not ashamed to admit I struggle with. With the support of the exceptional staff here, I am finding new ways of approaching this (as of course, I don't want to quash it, just direct it in the right way) and this has meant that our entire family life has been transformed. The structure is fantastic as each child has input into the day which leaves them feeling valued and appreciated. There is time for them to have one to one time with a teacher and also to be part of a group which definitely helps with their own concentration and also assists them in learning to share, take turns and be aware of others needs and feelings. My little boy loves it too.

I could not ask for a better nursery my son was going to. He had such great teachers around him. They always had many interesting things to do. Even now, when my son started going to school, he still wants to come and visit the nursery during school holidays, enjoys memories. We love you Bay Tree Montessori
!!! Thank you for everything.

Both our children (4.5 and 2.5) have attended this setting (the younger one still does) and we have nothing else but praise for the staff who work at this nursery. The staff are attentive, provide children with stimulating work, help them to deal with conflict and learn to become independent. Children
can enjoy such activities as cooking, baking, making puddling pools in summer, tending to plants, music and crafts activities, scientific experiments, yoga and lots more. I have seen my children thrive, develop self-awareness and - most of all - love their teachers and their nursery. The manager has always been very helpful and always finds time to answer my questions and provide guidance. I highly recommend this setting.

The staff at Bay Tree are fab. My son is often upset when he is dropped off but the staff deal with it brilliantly and I know after a moment of distraction he has a brilliant day. The activities and resources he has access to are great for his learning and development.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The holistic approach and support to both parent and child goes beyond what can reasonably be expected from teachers or a nursery. And secondly goes over and above the criteria that I initially based my nursery search on. Whilst Bay Tree is mindful of “ticking all the boxes” set for nursery schools,
the top level results are evident, what makes the nursery exceptional is the environment in which your child is taught. Descriptive words that come to mind are serene, kind, organic and safe. Over and above this, your child is directly exposed, on a daily basis, to sincerity, kindness, compassion, friendliness, mindfulness and perseverance, not only from verbal guidance but also by being exposed to the teachers who all have these traits. Everything a child is taught, every value that is instilled in a child, is so important in forming the person they become. If the aforementioned resonates with you, Bay Tree is the nursery for you, because the aforementioned resonates with them too.

My daughter absolutely loves going to this nursery and has such a lovely time while she's there. She started attending a couple of months after her 2nd birthday, never having been in a nursery before, and although she was initially a little reluctant she quickly settled and has been thriving in her
new environment ever since.
The staff are friendly, warm, patient, and nurturing and I'm so grateful for everything this group of incredible women are doing for my daughter, helping to guide her on this stage of her journey through life.

My son's been attending Baytree for over a year and has had an excellent experience there. My son has autism and the nursery picked up on this within 2 weeks of him starting there. My son's SENCO and the management bend over backwards to make my son feel included and without them this journey with autism
would have been a lot harder. My son is respected, loved and a valued member of the community there. Their professionalism and ability to go above and beyond is outstanding! Highly recommend!

The best thing about Bay Tree for me is staff! My son needed some time to get settled in the nursery in the beginning and the staff was so considerate to him and me, making the whole process as easy and quick as possible. I feel that they not only look after my child for these four hours but really
care about his development and wellbeing, everyone always has time to tell me how is my son doing and what is new in his progress.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.281)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.281) out of 10 for Bay Tree Montessori Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for Bay Tree Montessori Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (60 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 5
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.281 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bay Tree Montessori Nursery is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 32 number of registered child places is 6.4. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.4 = 0.781
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
