Holly Tree Montessori

Holly Tree have been amazing! My son started there in June 2024, and I was so nervous about leaving him. The nursery were brilliant - providing vital settling in sessions, regular updates and lots of reassurance. Our son really enjoys going now and seems to get really stuck in, in all the fun activities Holly Tree offers. I especially like that the class is out most days enjoying the garden and making the most of nature. Staff have always been friendly and supportive, so a massive thank you!

My daughter has been at Holly Tree since the age of 2 and has developed into a confident, independent and happy child! She has come on leaps and bounds through the Montessori methodology, with the support of the knowledgeable, friendly nursery staff and her key person. The nursery offers a cosy "home from home" environment with a lovely outdoor space that is utilised at all times of the year. The staff communicate well with parents and engages with children and families as individuals, supporting the children's interests and allowing them to flourish in a safe environment. The food is varied, nutritious and well received by my daughter and the nursery and chef share popular recipes with families to develop the connection between the setting and home. All in all a really lovely setting with caring and professional child-focused staff and activities!

Our son loves attending Holly Tree and we would absolutely recommend the nursery to other parents.

Excellent nursery with exceptional staffing, my son has been attending for just over a year now, their attention to detail in your child's development and communication of this is exceptional with regular updates through their app and on e-mail. Would highly recommend Holly Tree to any parents.

Hollytree is a very special nursery. All 3 of my children attend/attended and I am so lucky that we found out about Hollytree as it's been such a wonderful place where our children have thrived, grown in confidence and made friends. The staff are fabulous; kind, nurturing and patient and really get to know your child so well that you feel so confident to leave them in their care. The management have always been great and put on so many lovely activities to share with your children - Mothers/Father's Day events, graduation, pride bbq etc so you really do feel you are part of a family. All 3 of my children are so different and the Montessori approach has allowed them all to be themselves and go at their own pace which has been really great at giving them a strong sense of self and so much independence.

My son started at Holly Tree in April 2024 and right from his settling in sessions I knew I'd made the right choice sending him here. He did struggle to settle at first and needed a lot of cuddles and reassurance from the staff, which they had absolutely no problem with. I got regular photo updates during him settling and was kept up to date with how he'd been. Roll on to now and he's settled in amazingly, he loves all the staff and they all make such an effort with him. He runs into nursery and I can tell from the photos that he has an amazing time. The nursery meals are so well planned out and my little boy eats so much better at nursery than he does at home. I am so happy that I chose Holly Tree and can't wait for my next little one to join him there! Thank you all!

My children attend this nursery and we have been so pleased with the way staff have remained consistent, they are kind and nurturing, they are sensitive and considerate. The nursery feels like a community where everyone is valued.

Our daughter has been attending Holly Tree since May 2024, and has been so happy there. Like most parents, we were nervous about how she would settle, but the staff were able to put our minds at ease with multiple settle sessions and lots of updates about how she was doing during the day. She now loves going to nursery and always has a great time! We love how much emphasis is placed on outdoor play, and the huge variety of activities she gets to do in the classroom too. We feel so happy knowing she is at a nursery where she is cared for and known as an individual by her staff.

She absolutely loves the work cycles and learning from her key person(s). The food is amazing and when you go to collect them you can see around the room what a great experience the children are having.

be happier.

Overall we are super happy with Holly Tree and couldn't recommend it higher.

I could not recommend Holly Tree Nursery enough and encourage you to go and have a look for yourself - you will not be disappointed.

My son has come in leaps and bounds since joining the nursery. We have seen a huge improvement in confidence, speech and ability. This is down to the staff and the attention to detail along with the updates as to what and how we can work on things at home. I couldn’t recommend more!

invested in all of the children’s development. They are all really attentive to all of the children’s needs, ensuring they are settled and giving them lots of opportunities for play and development. The activities provided for the children are always fun and varied - the garden is amazing too! Our son can’t wait to go to nursery every day!

My child has been at Holly Tree since 2021, he was born in lockdown and had therefore sadly had limited interaction with other children prior to nursery, however, he still settled in amazingly thanks for to the care, kindness and patience of his nursery teachers. He is now in preschool and is thriving, he’s adored every single one of his key workers (often telling me they’re his best friend) and loves everything about nursery. Holly Tree has truly brought out the best in my child in so many ways and set amazing foundations for the rest of his life.

I am super happy with Holly Tree Montessori. It is great to see how my daughter quickly adapts to the nursery. The staff have been amazing, incredibly supportive and caring. I really like the fact of having group activities as well as individual for my kid to discover what enjoy the most. 100% recommended.

Towards the end of her time in Baby Room we had a minor concern around the variety of activities she was experiencing, but since changing days and transitioning to Class 1 this is now totally resolved and we can see the positive impact staff and other children are having on her.

Cosy and nice atmosphere with friendly and professional staff. My daughter always comes back home happy and energetic. The rooms are a bit small but it makes it feel more like home. They don't allow outside food but were very accommodating with my child's dietary requirements.

We couldn’t be happier with the nurturing nature of the staff here - each one of them manages transitions so well and creates a real bond with the children along the way. The food they have is amazing (the chef puts parents to shame!). The activities planned are well thought out and inclusive. I love the app they use to keep me updated on her day with photos and next steps. I honestly couldn’t be happier with our decision to have our children here!

They have a great outdoor area, and a great menu, and I would have no hesitation in recommending Holly Tree to all other parents.
