Monton Village Nursery provides professional childcare whatever your need; nurturing and supporting every child to help them become happy, secure and confident learners.

Staff treat every child as an individual and work hard to meet their personal needs along their own unique developmental journey. They have a bright, energetic and well-qualified team, who care for the children they look after and seek to provide the very best for every child. They understand the value of smiles, laughter and cuddles in your child’s day – and offer it by the bucket load!

At Monton Village Nursery they are passionate about early education, providing enabling environments, stimulating activities and a dedicated childcare team to help give your child the best possible start across all aspects of learning.

Monton Village Nursery has recently developed their very own Forest School - with two of their staff; Miss Pearson and Miss Farnworth becoming qualified Forest School Leaders! As a nursery they love more than being outdoors! They have 4 large, individual outdoor spaces; including the Forest School! Forest School offers children the opportunity to achieve and develop their confidence and self-esteem.

Children are encouraged to thrive and be themselves by following their own interests; whether that is being loud and energetic being dinosaurs in the outdoor provision or quiet and concentrated at a focused activity developing early writing skills. There is always the opportunity to explore, investigate and discover something new!

Lots of parents join the nursery based on the excellent word of mouth in the local area and via personal recommendations from those already attending. They believe this speaks volumes to the excellent level of care provided. However, nothing beats getting the feel of a place and seeing the nursery on a normal, busy day – so why not book a visit and see what they do for yourselves!

Since starting at Monton Village Nursery in the baby room my son has settled in extremely well and has transitioned right the way through the nursery into the Pre School room. At around 2 years of age it became apparent that my son had additional needs. Throughout this process which has been very difficult
to take in parents, the staff at Monton Village Nursery have supported us in heading in the right direction to get the help he needs. We honestly can not thank them all enough for providing outstanding care and being with us every step of the way.

We love Morton Village Nursery just as much as our son since the very first day we were made to feel so welcome and became part of the nursery family! A wonderful mix of activities across all age groups - I don’t know how they think of so many! Love the newsletter which includes news and any special
events for the month, shame we’ve not been able to join in through the pandemic but we get to see the fun and learning being had through Tapestry which they’re fabulous at keeping up to date so we don’t miss out!!
All staff are amazing, we couldn’t wish for better love and care for our boy, our next child will definitely be going to Monton Village Nursery! We love you and thank you so much!

My daughter is now in preschool and has attended the nursery since she was 13 months old. She absolutely loves coming to nursery and I’m sure she would go on Saturday and Sunday too if she could! My son has just started in younger squirrels a few months ago and has settled really well which is great
considering the new rules with covid meaning we can only drop the children at the door and not to their rooms like we used to. Keep up the good work!

My daughter has been at Monton Village since she was 8 months old. She now is in the preschool getting ready to her move to primary school. The staff have always shown great care and attention for all her needs from when she was a baby to the little person she has now become. They have been fundamental
in her development and encouraging her to the best of her ability. All staff members are approachable and will support with all concerns how big or small. They show genuine care and consideration to her as if she was their own. From the first visit, I knew that this is where I wanted my little girl to be. I have not been disappointed and it fills me with absolute joy as she recounts her day and shares the amazing experiences with me. I would highly recommend Monton Village to anyone looking at a safe, inspiring and caring space for their child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been here since he was 8 months old, he is now 2 and a half. I’ve watched him grow into an independent, confident and talented little boy.
The staff are always smiling and friendly and take time to talk to me about my child's day in detail. The staff are always there to listen to any concerns
or questions I have and are always supportive Throughout the pandemic the staff have been incredible, I cannot thank each and every one of them enough for their hard work and dedication to being there for my child when I had to work and couldn’t be there.
One of the things that drew me to Monton Village was that children can be children. My child gets messy, dirty, covered in paint and all sorts and has the best time when he’s there. This includes inside and outside play.
I couldn’t ask for a better start for my child and highly recommend to anyone I know looking for a nursery.
Thanks for everything Monton Village, you are all amazing!

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. Our son started here 12 months ago, six years after our daughter left, and both of them have absolutely loved it. Monton Village just has something special. When we visited after such a long time, to check it out, we were bowled over to see the same staff
still working there, who remembered our daughter, and the same warm, welcoming, and very well-equipped environment that our daughter had enjoyed all those years before. The staff here really are brilliant. Our son started when he was 4 months old and he has loved every minute. Every day brings new activities and the staff here go above and beyond to really get to know your child and do whatever is needed for the children to grow, learn and develop. I am amazed at the imagination and skill they have with babies - taught me a few things! During the lockdown, this nursery, thanks to its wonderful staff, were a real lifeline to our family and could not have done more.

My grandson loves it at this nursery. He has been there for nearly 3 years. The staff are lovely and cater for his every need. I can watch his progress on the Tapestry App. This shows me what he is being taught, how he plays and learns with his friends and how the staff interact with him. It has been
a godsend during these times when I can't see him in person, I feel like I have not missed out on a thing. Keep up the good work.

My daughter started at Monton Village around 9 months ago and I am so happy with how well she has settled and how much she has developed. The staff have been so patient with us, with our daughter starting part-time and moving to full days, and have made us as parents feel at ease. The range of activities
keeps our daughter well entertained each day and we love to see the regular updates on the nursery's secure app. She is smiling when we drop her off on a morning and smiling when we collect her which is all we can ask for.

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 10 months old. We visited the nursery whilst I was still pregnant and were met by such lovely, warm, friendly and professional staff who showed us around and carefully explained everything we would need to know about the nursery, they answered our
many questions and made us feel like we were making the right choice in choosing this nursery. My daughter loves going to nursery, most days she pulls us there, walks straight in and doesn't even wave goodbye. The staff are very caring, and provide great updates when we pick her up as well as keeping us updated with what she is doing throughout the day via the nursery app, Tapestry. I love to see all the activities my daughter gets involved with day to day this ranges from painting to role playing, exploring in the garden, and singing and dancing during circle time. I can't recommend Monton Village Nursery enough, thank you for everything so far!

My daughter started at nursery at 8 months old and as soon as she started she came on leaps and bounds. Her speech comes on daily and she is always saying new word which comes from the staff talking to the children constantly and encouraging them to talk. She has always been happy going to nursery and
gets excited when I tell her its time to go to nursery. She is now 16 months old and is very sociable which wouldn't have happened without the nursery as she wouldn't have had the opportunity to interact with other children otherwise due to the current pandemic! I would highly recommend this nursery, their care is second to none.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
With our first child, we had a childminder, so I was a bit reluctant to send my second child into a nursery.
However, once visiting the nursery I was totally blown away. The environment was brilliant, very warming and most importantly the staff were truly lovely. The relationship they formed with my
child in just a few days was amazing (better than mine in fact lol).
My child has learnt so much and there is such a difference in her every day. She amazes me with her knowledge and how quickly she has learnt things. The daily updates we receive from the nursery are very useful and interesting to know. Absolutely love the Forest School and how the kids are able to learn from outside too. The space of the classrooms are a decent size and the facilities they have are good too. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking for one. You will not be disappointed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at the nursery are absolutely amazing. They really do care and look after the children like they are their own. I feel so comfortable knowing my child is with them and will be cared for. They have been exceptional throughout Lockdown too. The one thing I love is they inform us on a daily basis
of our child's day and what they will be doing or have done throughout the day so when my child comes home I can relate to what she has said and have a really good conversation with her.
This is my second child in the nursery school and I honestly couldn't recommend this nursery enough. I remember going in on the first day and having a look round and the feel I got was just right. All the children there just looked so happy and you could see straight away the bond the teachers have with the children. It's really satisfying and relieving to know your child is comfortable and so happy. If you are thinking of a nursery - Monton Village Nursery and Forest School is the one you want!

I have been taking my children to Monton Village Nursery for 7 years now. The moment I walked into the nursery it felt warm and welcoming and the staff were all lovely and this has continued to be the case ever since. My children have come on so much since attending this school and my youngest absolutely
loves going to nursery. I couldn’t thank the staff there enough for all their hard work and dedication to helping all my children thrive and grow into little happy people.

My grandson has been coming to the nursery for over a year now and seems to really love it. I collect him at least 3 times per week and I am always greeted in a lovely manner. The staff are all fantastic and I am really happy with the care they provide for my grandson. Feedback is always great and they
make sure I am told all about his day. Throughout the pandemic the quality of care has been outstanding and as a very protective grandmother, I am very very happy.

Very nice nursery, I can highly recommend it. Staff are really friendly and they all take care of your little one.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.820)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.820) out of 10 for Monton Village Nursery and Forest School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 6 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 4.917 for Monton Village Nursery and Forest School is calculated as follows: ( (66 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.917
  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 3.903 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monton Village Nursery and Forest School is based on 6 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 + 0.1 = 3.6
    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 99 number of registered child places is 19.8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.8 = 0.303
  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.
