Kings Castle Montessori Nursery School

We are coming to the end of my Son's two and a half years at Kings Castle and my daughter also attended before him.

We have been so happy with the care and support they received during their time. My son has thrived and I can see a huge improvement in his confidence recently. He is always telling me about fun things he has done with the teachers and his friends, and he is so happy to go into the nursery and the lodge every day.

I really like the updates on the app so I can see photos of things he has been doing and what he has eaten during lunch time.

I think it's been great preparation for starting school in September.

Thank you Kings Castle, I would recommend to anyone.

We're so glad we picked Kings Castle to help us guide our son into the kind, confident and independent little boy he is today. He's been with Kings Castle for the last 3 years and they've been brilliant at all ages and stages.

From the regular updates and photos we get from the app, to all the new awesome, sometimes quirky things they do with them week in week out, to how happy he is being dropped off each day, we 100% made the right choice with this nursery/pre-school.

Speaking to friends and family who send their children to other nurseries and pre-schools, it's clear to see that Kings Castle do things differently and offer so much more.

We're firm believers in 'let the results do the talking' and seeing what a lovely boy our son has become leaves us to say aBIG THANK YOU to everyone at Kings Castle!

My two children have gone through the nursery both from the baby room to the preschool. They have been nothing but brilliant - communication is great and I trust them. Which is a huge deal! They are very good at discussing our needs when they came up, not at all defensive if small queries or issues came up, but open to working with parents which is a huge plus too. I would put more kids through Kings if I had them! The Montessauri way of independent play, problem solving and fine motor skills, life skills have all supported their confidence. I love the lodge and so did the kids! Many of the kids start reading there and while as parents we haven't done much of that at home, it's been great to know they are set up for the next stops. Both of mine have been fully prepared for school and I am so grateful for that. I will miss the team there. Thank you all!

My three children have attended Kings & The Lodge, they have joined in the lovely baby room all the way until becoming school leavers. The nurture, support and learning provided has been outstanding. My children have grown in confidence and independence. They love attending nursery. The nursery have supported our family in challenging times and been an incredible support. I will be very sad when my youngest leaves Kings for school, but I am very thankful and lucky that they've started their journey with Kings. I simply cannot praise the staff enough.

Our 4-year-old attends Kings Castle, and we couldn't be happier with the exceptional care and support provided. The leadership and management are outstanding, always listening and offering invaluable advice. It's clear that the team cares deeply for every child, nurturing their development in a warm, welcoming environment. Our child looks forward to each day, excited to share their experiences and creative activities. The balance of structured activities and play, along with the Montessori approach, makes learning both fun and educational. Communication with parents is excellent, and we always feel informed and supported. We appreciate the events hosted for parents, which help us stay connected to the nursery. Kings Castle is a place where children thrive, and we highly recommend it to any parent seeking a nurturing, high-quality daycare. Thank you to everyone at Kings Castle for making our child's experience so special!

We were searching for a place where our daughter would learn, grow, and feel cherished. Kings Castle has been that exceptional place for us over the years, and I can't praise it enough!

From our first contact, the communication with all staff has been outstanding. Whether through emails, the app, phone calls, or meetings, their professionalism and warmth are evident. Each interaction reassures us that our daughter is in excellent hands. The management team are especially responsive, addressing our questions with clarity and a genuine desire to help. This open communication has made us feel like valued members of the Kings Castle community.

Our daughter genuinely loves attending Kings Castle. Hearing her say, "I love going to nursery!" is heartwarming and reassuring for us. Each day is filled with discovery, and the Montessori method has boosted her confidence and independence. The attentive and encouraging teachers foster a love for learning that will benefit her throughout life.

My daughter started in the toddler room at 18 months she's now 22 months. The staff have been amazing at settling her in. They do so many enriching and fun activities. You feel they really enjoy working with the children. They give us weekly individual updates on my daughter's development and on group activities. Our daughter's language and independence has really improved. She loves going to nursery so much that she just runs in and doesn't even say goodbye to us!

Sadly, due to a house move, we have to say goodbye, but we will always be grateful for the love, patience, and dedication the team has shown. If you're looking for a nursery that truly prioritises the well-being and development of children, I couldn't recommend this one highly enough. Thank you for everything!

My son has recently left Kings Castle after two years, we were very sad to say goodbye! He had a wonderful time there and the staff always went above and beyond to ensure the best possible learning and experience. They were accommodating and flexible when we needed ad hoc sessions and created a very supportive environment while also being very adaptable to his individual needs and abilities. Kings Lodge (the associated forest school) is also amazing and my son absolutely loved his days there. They have prepared him extremely well for school where he is now thriving. We will always look back on his time at Kings Castle with great fondness and gratitude. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

My son also attended the setting a few years ago, and I plan to send my baby too in the Autumn - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

The nursery has been a great place during the times both of our boys have been there... the staff have always been lovely and it is a great setting and location. Also using the Lodge once a week is really beneficial.

My child has thrived since attending nursery at Kings. He loves his teachers and is always excited to go to nursery in the morning. We receive daily feedback via the app which is very much appreciated.

My son has attended Kings Castle since he was 9 months old and The Lodge since he was 2.5. He has grown so much whilst attending and his listening, communication and other skills have developed tons which I feel has been a direct impact from being at nursery. Couldn't recommend this nursery enough. All the staff have been very friendly and considerate to my son's needs especially one member of staff in particular from The Lodge and another particular member of staff!

2 wonderful sites with different environments - I particularly love the outdoor nature of the Lodge site, and the King's site is great for promoting early motor skills, caring for others and the environment. The staff are all fantastic and work really hard to promote children's wellbeing.

Kings Castle is an amazing nursery that I can't fault in any way! My little girl went there about 5 years ago and now my little boy has finished his journey there too! I've always trusted everyone at Kings that my babies are well looked after because they have such a wonderful and friendly team! There is nothing better than picking your child up and seeing them so happy and excited about the day they've had! I will always recommend this nursery and I'm so grateful for everything they've done!

Absolutely delighted with King Castle Montessori! My son has been attending Kings for over two years now, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's development. They create a warm and welcoming environment where kids feel safe and loved. Our child has autism and they have gone above and beyond to cater for him. He is very fond of his key worker and we cannot thank all staff members including management enough. It will be a very sad day when he eventually leaves.

Kings Castle has been brilliant for both my children. I've been coming here for the last 7 years and my youngest will be leaving next month. I will be very sad not to come here anymore, they have been like an extended family. So warm and welcoming and such lovely people. My kids have both enjoyed their time here and made lovely little friends. Great preparation for school!

All three of my children joined Kings Castle in the baby room and my second is due to finish tomorrow ready to start school in September. I honestly can't thank the whole team enough for their unwavering commitment to my children and we will forever be grateful to them all for the fun and learning they have experienced during their time here.

Kings Castle Montessori Nursery are fantastic! My daughter is always happy when I pick her up, telling me all about her day. The staff are kind, caring, happy, understanding, supportive and informative. They update you on your child's journey each day in person and via the app, this includes photos and other communication. I must rate the app as well. It has lots of features and is easy to navigate around. I think the Montessori way of teaching is brilliant. Being in a nursery setting and the Lodge, being close to nature, walking, outside and exploring is great for all children's development. The Nursery house is clean, and modern, with good facilities, resources and lots of activities and equipment. I've always felt my daughter is safe in their care and well looked after. Even as a parent I feel well looked after. Thank you all at Kings.
