Holly Tree Montessori

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.

I couldn't recommend the nursery highly enough.

Thank you Holly Tree.

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.

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!

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.

My oldest daughter attended this nursery until she started preschool. Now my youngest 10 month old has started in September. Staff are very friendly and welcoming and always keep you up-to-date with everything. Highly recommend as both my girls settled in very well and are happy going to nursery.

The food menu has a good variety, she loves her meals at nursery!

Visited Holly Tree for grandparents day, what a wonderful welcoming experience from the moment I arrived. The staff were welcoming, but more importantly, they were all about the safety and well-being of the children. All the children were happily enjoying a variety of activities, with the freedom to change activities as they wished. I experienced painting and story time before tea arrived, which smelt amazing. The children were exceptionally behaved and obviously enjoying their time within a caring, fun, educational environment. It was lovely to see such a happy group of children. A perfect environment for growing, curious minds. The work you do with the children is exceptional. Thank you for doing such an amazing job.

Our son has now been at the nursery since April - and again, we couldn't be happier. He is so well cared for and happy there. It took such a short time for him to settle in when he started, which is definitely down to the very friendly and welcoming team - they are great. We would recommend the nursery without any hesitation.

We put all our trust into the nursery and I'm glad we choose Holly Tree!

A warm and nurturing place where the children are really valued and their interests taken into account. We have two girls there, fifteen months and three and a half years old and they have both always loved going. We feel really supported with their development and love the provision provided.

Ps. Having an on site chef is a big win in the eyes of our little girl!

I am so impressed with Holly Tree Montessori nursery. Our son started there in August this year and has settled really well. The nursery staff are so sweet with him and have bonded with him really well. He loves the music classes in particular and has been involved in a lot of different and engaging activities in a short space of time. One thing I really like is how much time the children spend outside. Staff really make the most of the garden and that was really important to us when we were choosing a nursery. The nursery is really organised and communication with parents is great, which is very reassuring. The food is also excellent with a good range of healthy meals. I couldn't be happier really!

My little one has been at Holly Tree for over a year now and its the best decision we have made. The relationships in the classrooms and between the teachers and children are so lovely. The children are treated with absolute respect and given so much choice on what they would like to do. My little boy is excited to go in everyday and I am excited to see what he has done that day on the private social media group. The food is clearly very tasty as the menu sounds incredible and there is rarely a day where he hasn't had two portions.

Attended grandparents day in September, what a wonderful day to have, with wonderful staff. I could see how much my grandson loved being there, actually thought he might cry when we left, but he wasn't bothered in the slightest due to him loving it so much. We had a lovely time interacting with him, and did lots of activities while there, including some painting which is now pride of place in our home as a memory of the day. We never saw the food, but it smelt so good cooking, I know our grandson often has more than one helping, so must be good. I am part of the group and love seeing the updates daily of our grandson's activities, seeing him develop and watching him grow. This nursery has helped him so much, and obviously, his parents too. Would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a preschool nursery.

My little girl has been going to the nursery now from September and absolutely loves her time there now. The staff have been very supportive of all her complex needs around food. I get really amazing updates about my little girls progress at the end of every day and through the app. I honestly couldn't wish for a better nursery for my little girl. She learns so much every time she is there I see how she is advancing.
