The attention and accomodation afforded our little boy has been exceptional and beyond our expectation. To be able to, in this day and age, rest, reassured of your little ones safety and wellbeing is truly invaluable. Communication at the Mount is excellent and the staff genuinely try to accomodate your individual needs.
I have no hesitation whatsoever in strongly recommend the Mount pre school , and now school, to anyone who enquires.
My three-year-old has grown so much in confidence, communication, and independence since starting here. The environment is safe, nurturing, and stimulating, with a great balance of learning through play and structured activities. The staff always make learning fun and engaging, and it's clear they truly care about each child.
Communication with parents is excellent, and we are always kept informed about our child's progress and daily activities. It gives us real peace of mind knowing our child is happy, settled, and well supported.
We are very grateful for everything the team does and would highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking for a supportive and high-quality early years setting in Huddersfield.
The Nursery stands out for it's nurturing, supportive environment and the diverse range of activities it offers. Children are taught independence from a young change which helps with their development as they grow and learn new skills each day. They're encouraged to explore and reach their full potential early on. No other local nursery whether it be private or not introduces French, visiting library, Music, IT and many other lessons and activities from a young age.
Staff are amazing to say the least. My daughter was a reserved individual but increased in confidence with each day and loved waking up on a morning and getting ready. The same goes for my son, although he is a lot more confident and energetic than his sister, he is always so excited to tell me about his day and all the activities he's been upto when I go to collect him. They both love all the teachers and that is another positive. Their selection and vetting process is amazing and this is evident as all the members of staff are very loving and caring towards the children. I would recommend The Nursery without any doubt to whoever asks me about our experience. There is no other Nursery that can match to give your child the best possible start. Thank you always to The Mount, the nursery manager and all the members of Staff who make this Nursery such a welcoming, safe and loving place to be.
My daughter started at The Mount School in September and she's loved every minute of it. The staff were all amazing at making her feel welcomed and comfortable in this new environment she was in.

My son attends the nursery in the pre school room and has thrived since going. He is happy and settled and the staff always go the extra mile to make sure he feels welcome. He has learned a lot since going and the variety of play and learning is excellent. I would highly recommend this nursery.
The Staff are first class . I was so proud when my wife and I got invited in to watch little performances the children had been working on. The kids seem so happy here. I would highly recommend The Mount School nursery. First class.
Our daughter attended the Mount nursery for the year 2024/2025 and we found it to be an excellent choice. Sydney wanted to attend every morning which is testament in itself. The staff were very warm and welcoming and we found her progress with learning to be also very good. A great preparation for her next year in reception, which has carried on in the same manner.
The Mount Nursery is an absolutely fantastic early years care provider for my son. He has been at the nursery from the age of 12 months and he is now 18 months. In the last 6 months I have watched him develop in a multitude of ways, his language and singing are coming on leaps and bounds. Every morning he rushes in excited to see what activities are planned. He's developed wonderful relationships with all the nursery staff who go above and beyond. I would highly recommend this nursery.
The setting is truly child-focused and nurturing. The environment encourages imagination, creativity and confidence, and it feels so much more than just a nursery - it is a warm, inspiring space where children are genuinely supported to thrive emotionally and socially, not just cared for.
The facilities and outdoor grounds are beautiful and thoughtfully designed, creating such a calm and enchanting atmosphere. Even small details make a difference - arriving each morning feels uplifting and positive, and it sets both parent and child in the right frame of mind for the day.
What really stood out to me was the level of support for both children and parents. It never felt like simply "dropping off and collecting" - it felt like being part of a caring, attentive community where your child is truly known and supported. Seeing my child excited to go in each da

Our daughter has been attending the baby room since September 2025, when she was 17 months old. As first-time parents, we were naturally quite nervous about starting nursery, but the staff were absolutely amazing in helping to ease our worries from day one.

She absolutely loves going to nursery each day, which speaks volumes about the care and support she receives. We can't thank the teachers enough for everything they do.
