Holly Tree Montessori

I wouldn't send any future kids anywhere else!

We absolutely love Holly Tree - our little girl has been there since the baby room and she is now almost three. Her nursery experience has been tailored to her personal development and interests and it's such a supportive environment. We would recommend Holly Tree to anyone looking for an early years Montessori setting for their child.

Fantastic nursery, the staff are wonderful and we couldn't have wished for a nicer setting for our boys to have attended over the last few years. Always get a good insight into what my son has been doing during the day and he always comes out very happy to tell me all about the fun he's been having.

I can’t praise highly enough all aspects of the nursery experience. Our little girl is quite reserved and independent and she is supported and encouraged to follow her interests to build skills. She is currently going through a phase of separation anxiety and gets upset at drop off but the staff are great at reassuring us that she soon settles once at nursery, often sending a message via messenger.

Our daughter loves her time at Holly Tree Montessori, they are so accommodating to her needs. The Montessori curriculum sets a really good foundation for them and oh and the food is really good too. Have found the staff to especially go the extra mile to support their needs.

Holly Tree is a fantastic nursery in south Manchester. The staff are wonderful and provide excellent communication regarding our daughter's development. I want to highlight how well they have handled the obvious issues with Covid.

The relationships the teachers have built with our daughter have not only meant she loves going to nursery every day, but we know she's in great hands as well. I'm just glad they had space for our youngest daughter who starts this summer!

Both children are progressing and developing well supported by Holly Tree.

Holly Tree is a wonderful nursery and we plan to keep our daughter there until she starts school.

The ladies really seem to care about my children and demonstrate so much care and patience with them.

Our little boy absolutely loves going to this nursery! As parents, we’re often asked which setting he attends, as he’s a capable, independent, confident and verbal 2 year old. We can’t thank the wonderful staff at Holly Tree Day Nursery for developing these skills with him. There is good communication from staff and use of the app and social allow us as parents to stay in the loop with our little man’s daily adventures and progress! Since he joined them, around two years ago, our little boy has always felt secure and happy at nursery and we’ve had incredible support from staff. We’ve been especially happy that they’ve made such an inclusive environment for our two-mum family with things like family basket photos, books and a general strive to meet all of our little man’s needs. I would highly recommend this nursery and can vouch first-hand for how brilliantly its Montessori practices impact on children's development. Most of all though, our little boy is happy!

My little boy started in the baby room at 17 months and is now in class 3 having just turned 3. It has taken him a while to settle and adjust in to each room he has transitioned to but the staff have always fully supported him throughout the move and communicated with us amazingly to ensure he is happy and content. He absolutely loves nursery and mentions the staff by name at home and recently asked to come to nursery on the weekend! We get regular updates through Tapestry on his learning and development and the staff regularly update the Facebook page with activities they have been doing each day. The communication from management is regular and I receive weekly emails about what's going on in the nursery. This always includes updates on staff changes which helps keep us familiar with the staff at nursery. They also regularly host LPPA meetings & offer other courses to support parents around different topics such as speech & language or behaviour. We couldn't ask for a better nursery!

Both our children (3 1/2 and 1 year old) go to Holly Tree Montessori and we’re extremely happy with the education and care they receive. Staff are knowledgeable and attentive and they take the children’s early years education seriously.

We have been using this nursery for approx 8 years now. Whilst there have been lots of changes they are all for the better and the desire to constantly improve an already outstanding setting. The environment is clean, modern and bright. The atmosphere is calm and purposeful and the work cycle activities are well thought out and relevant to the needs of the children based in that room. The staff are extremely professional and considerate. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this nursery to any potential parents.

When I was looking for a nursery for my son, there was no doubt where I wanted him to go after reading about Holly Tree Montessori. They have exceeded my expectations from their excellent reputation. My son loves going to nursery and is always super happy when he is there. He is very well cared for and engages in lots of fun learning activities. The nursery has top facilities, including a well resourced indoor and outdoor space including a sensory room which my son loves! We are vegetarian and all meals are varied and nutritious. Staff are outstanding and in my experience go above and beyond what is expected. Each day, pictures/videos are uploaded to the private Facebook group where I can see what my son is up to in the day. I’ve reserved a place for my baby already to attend Holly Tree! Thank you Holly Tree x

I’ve always found the staff to be friendly and professional. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, I have little experience of seeing first hand the facilities but I am regularly updated by email with new activities added to my child’s room. I appreciated the feedback given at the parent's evening and was given lots of information on provisions put in place to help my child develop. I’m very satisfied with the level of care and communication provided by Holly Tree Montessori.

Our second child is currently attending Holly Tree Montessori. I love the place and have referred lots of friends to them, and they all love the place too. I like the fact that the classes aren't huge, they are nice and small, so not overwhelming for the child, and the staff can spend more quality time with them. All the staff know all the children. The nursery has been really accommodating if I ever need extra days, and really supportive if we need extra help. I don't think we could have got any better. Both my children have had a great start and will be leaving full of confidence and independence and ready for school.

Holly Tree Montessori is a fantastic nursery! They were there for my son who is now 8-years old and my daughter currently attends and is starting school in September. They have been so well looked after and have thrived! They learn so easily and organically with the Montessori method. The settling in process is very good as well. I'm always kept up to date with the online app system, and it's lovely to see what they've been up to. I almost wish I had a third child to send here as it's going to be very sad when my daughter finishes this year!

My daughter started last year in the baby room and is now in C2. She absolutely loves coming to nursery and has come on so much, she mastered the Montessori coat flip before the age of two! The resources and experiences she takes part in are so beneficial to her learning. A fantastic nursery!

Our daughter is thriving at Holly Tree Montessori Nursery particularly after lockdown. She is excited to talk to us about her day at nursery and has built some amazing friendships. The staff are excellent and always available to answer any questions. I believe communication to be key and this has always impressed me. Keep up the great work.
