Having not initially intended to use a nursery we went to view Holly Tree due to it sounding so good on their website and were not at all disappointed. It is a lovely warm friendly place that really welcomes family involvement. The staff went out of their way to make our daughters settling in as easy
as possible and we never felt rushed to leave before we were ready. As well as our daughter enjoying her time there, we as parents have enjoyed the regular updates on her progress and excellent communication, as well as events such as a Father's Day bbq and first aid course. I would highly recommend Holly Tree to other parents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When my little boy was 9 months old we began looking for a nursery for him to attend 3 days a week. As soon as we stepped inside Holly Tree we knew that it was the right place for us. Our little boy has benefitted hugely from the welcoming, calming and homely atmosphere that is afforded by the small
group sizes and fantastic staff. Their love and genuine interest in developing the children into well rounded and caring individual little people, is very special and unique.


Each member of staff goes above and beyond to ensure excellence! Both the chef and the food menu are wonderful! My son is intolerant to a number of foods including dairy and nursery have always been extremely accommodating both in the food choices offered and the time and consideration given.
My little boy loves coming home and telling us news about his days at nursery. He especially loves outdoor play and trips to the forest school! Activities planned are fun, stimulating, varied and most importantly child focussed.

This is a fantastic nursery. The staff bend over backwards to support little ones to settle in. They obviously care about and enjoy working with children. It really feels like a family environment and although my son has only been attending for a short period of time we love it!! My son may have inherited
dietary intolerances and the staff (including the chef) have been very proactive in identifying what would be suitable - not easy when a baby is weaning. All in all, I would highly recommend this nursery and can already see why it has achieved such a high Ofsted rating. I work in children's services in a senior management capacity and have also been highly impressed with the safeguarding arrangements.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Holly Tree is a wonderful nursery. The staff are exceptional and our son knows most of the team and will often talk about them at home. There's a personal touch at handover and communications are great with daily updates in the Facebook group and email/messages. The nursery has a lovely, calm feel,
with a wonderful garden and forest room. The food is excellent and homemade on site.
The nicest thing has been seeing how my son has developed since attending. The activities are varied and they often have themes days/weeks such as 'occupation week' or 'Olympics'. Though the classes do activities together there is still a personalised approach to each child's needs, recognising how each child learns and develops individually.


The staff are well tuned to recognise when extra time is needed to learn something new or if a cuddle or quiet moment is needed away from the group, taking time to address these signs which could easily go unnoticed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery.

Holly Tree is a superb setting that devotes lots of energy to ensuring each child flourishes through the highest of expectations and standards of care. The staff show the children lots of affection and respect them as individuals whilst building rapport as a team.
My daughter has come on leaps and
bounds and has learned things that I have been unable to instil in her.
Parental/family support and communication is excellent and nothing is too much trouble.
The success of this nursery is down to the high calibre of staff, the high expectations of the management and the team ethos that is strong. I know that my daughter is in the best hands.

My son started at Holly Tree a few weeks ago aged 2 and a half. We had recently moved to the area and do moved him from one nursery to another, which could have been a difficult transition for him. However, the team at Holly Tree have been, without exception, fantastic. The were a good number of settling
in sessions which allowed him to get used to the team and the other children, and the calm atmosphere within the nursery also definitely helped.


I really like the Tapestry system which updates parents as to the observations the nursery workers have noted for children. It's great to get this extra level of insight.


Before selecting Holly Tree I had viewed half a dozen other settings, all felt far too loud and chaotic. At Holly Tree the children are still having lots of fun, playing outside and enjoying 'messy play' activities, however, it instantly seemed much more calm and more like the activities had a direct benefit to the children's development.

I cannot recommend Holly Tree Montessori highly enough.


You would travel for this nursery .. What they've taught my child from a young age is incredible and the staff are so supportive for parents they also have classes for parents such as first aid or behaviour classes etc


The food is freshly

prepared on site and is absolutely delicious.


They recently provided their "favourite recipes" handout book which we have as a family and even when friends are over for dinner I always will check the booklet.


I highly recommend that if you are looking for a nursery look at Holly Tree Montessori the staff are incredible and the benefit for your child to be in such a presence is not only very rewarding (and saves lots of morning time i.e putting on coat and shoes) but a proud moment as to what your child is achieving daily.


I'll be sad when my daughter leaves to go to school.


Well done to the owner and her incredible team.

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.
