Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter is 18 months and loves going to Holly Tree. She's always in high spirits when we pick her up and her confidence has grown significantly since attending.
The staff are amazing and make a lot of effort to cater to her interests and keep us well informed on her progress and how we as parents
can work alongside the nursery to help with babies development.
The building and facilities are really nice and clean. It's such a welcoming place and you can tell the children love being there.
The food is also really nutritious and varied, honestly, I'm usually jealous when I read the menu!
Overall we are super happy with Holly Tree and couldn't recommend it higher.

Holly Tree Nursery provides outstanding care and a nurturing environment for my daughter. She is absolutely thriving at Holly Tree and loves to go into nursery. Her confidence has increased massively and she has progressed leaps and bounds since attending.
The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable
and you know they genuinely care about your child. They really do go the extra mile to make sure my daughter has an excellent day.
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!

Our son started at Holly Tree Nursery in August 2023 and we couldn’t be happier with the care he has received so far since being there. The staff are amazing - you can really tell they are passionate about their jobs and are really
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Holly Tree since January of this year, initially starting in Baby Room.
The care and attentiveness shown by staff have always been excellent, and communication from nursery practitioners and management is prompt, insightful and informative.
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.

This nursery helped raise my son into the independent smart boy he is, and now my daughter is following the same path.
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!

Our little one has been at Holly Tree since January this year, and we're delighted with how well it's going. All of the staff are so nice, and they were very understanding about sending extra photos and updates in the first few weeks. Our son has had good relationships with both of his key workers,
and the ethos of the nursery suited him well. They managed his transition from the baby room to class one brilliantly, and he has responded well to the routines, bringing new skills home.
They have a great outdoor area, and a great menu, and I would have no hesitation in recommending Holly Tree to all other parents.

We've only been with Holly Tree for a short time and already we can see such a positive impact. The staff are very accommodating and genuinely care about the children. It has definitely been the right decision to go here, they have such variety in their week with plenty of outside play too.

Holly Tree is an incredible nursery and has been an amazing atmosphere for our daughter since she began here 9 months ago. She's excited to arrive every day, the staff are amazing with her and she's progressed so much in her time there. The information we receive from the nursery is great and I am never
in any doubt that her needs come first in every decision.
I couldn't recommend the nursery highly enough.

The best nursery with the best team. My child has been going there for a year now and has learnt so much. The life skills they start teaching them slowly are amazing too They do lots with the children, I love that they do lots of outdoor play. We’re so happy we chose here.
Thank you Holly Tree.

I cannot recommend Holly Tree enough. My son has been attending for just over a year now and it feels like home. The staff have helped me achieve that work-life balance and my son has thrived beyond recognition!
They are always available to speak with, answer questions, and reassure you, no matter
what time of day.
My little boy has had a few issues with glue ear and speech and language development. The nursery staff have been an amazing support for us all, from sending home fun games to develop pronunciation to helping us communicate with my child when we struggled.
Communication from the nursery is great and you know they always have your child's interests at heart and always plan creative and fun things for them!
A great nursery!

Holly Tree is an absolutely amazing nursery for our child. She loves attending, the atmosphere and staff are so genuine, warm, welcoming and encouraging. We have travelled far to place our child in a Montessori setting and we are so happy with our choice, the nursery is run efficiently, great communication,
lovely activities for the kids to explore, excellent outdoor space and the chef makes amazing home-cooked nourishing food. He’s a very flexible chef and caters to everyone. The staff in the nursery are all so lovely and very caring, our child loves her nursery teachers very much, I can tell she really cares for them.

With one grandchild completing her three years last month and another starting her second year it has been a delight to see how they have developed in confidence. Lovely as a grandparent also to be included in such events as this September's Grandparents Week as last year.
Staff have always been consistently
friendly, informative, and helpful when I have visited for events or at drop-offs and pick-ups.

We are really pleased to be sending our second child here next year. My eldest daughter has been here three years and we can not fault the nursery and staff. My daughter has really grown in confidence and still loves attending. To be honest, the staff and nursery feel like family. They always listen
to any ideas and feedback and come up with lots of their own. I feel really lucky that my children are able to grow in such a kind and well-cared-for place. And the food is delicious too!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What to say about the lovely Holly Tree? We looked high and low for a nursery that was calm, quiet, caring, nurturing of emotional well being and responsive. Montessori was the added bonus of Holly Tree. The core is Montessori which is a great start in life for children. We were so apprehensive about
leaving our oldest at nursery but the Holly Tree experience has been truly wonderful. They communicate really clearly, treat every child as an individual and prioritise each child's interests and needs. The management team are highly responsive and they answer queries in a heartbeat. The chef has also catered for our vegan children amazingly and the food is better than at home! I have never felt our children have been overlooked. If you're considering it, send your children here. It'll be the best thing you can do for them if not working isn't an option for your family. Our 3-year-old is caring, kind, understands other children can say no to him and is very independent.

My daughter has attended Holly Tree for a year now and absolutely loves it! She has learnt so much, and the Montessori aspect has given her so much independence. We love the home-from-home feel of the nursery, and there are always exciting events happening. My son will be starting at the nursery next
year.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.960)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.960) out of 10 for Holly Tree Montessori 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.960 for Holly Tree Montessori is calculated as follows: ( (242 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 251 Ratings = 4.96
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Holly Tree Montessori is based on 21 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 42 number of registered child places is 8.4, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
