  • Leeds Montessori School & Day Nursery, Leeds
Leeds Montessori School & Day Nursery has been established for over 22 years.

Situated in Roundhay, Leeds, the nursery is located in a Grade II listed Victorian building with a large outdoor area and is just next to Roundhay park.

The ethos is warm and loving, with a highly qualified staff team supporting the children to develop into confident, independent learners. The aim is to unlock every child's true potential. They follow the Montessori ethos and EYFS programme, allowing the children's to become independent for future life and education.

The nursery chef prepares nutritionally balanced, healthy and tasty meals that the children love and often help to prepare.

From September, the nursery will be delivering Bilinguasing Spanish classes led by a secondary school Modern foreign Languages teacher. Children pick up languages so quickly and develop a wide range of skills without even realising! The classes will provide the opportunity to have fun singing different songs and nursery rhymes, with a range of multi sensory props, including parachutes, instruments, bubbles and puppets! In September, the children will be learning basic greetings, numbers, colours and the names of some farm animals.

Review from K C (Mother of Child) published on 12 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter's been here for 3 years during. The nursery went through a rough patch 18 months ago but it has now turned it around, communication with parents has improved and new management are incredibly engaging and responsive.


One thing never changed - level of care, attention and support she's

received from staff. She's happy to be in nursery and loves her key workers. Staff take the time to get to know your child as an individual which is very reassuring.


Best bits:


~ new manager has lots of great ideas planned for enriching the kids experiences further (e.g. visits into the community)
~ lots of longstanding staff members with wealth of childcare knowledge (e.g. emotional regulation)
~ one on one time with the Montessori teacher
~ weekly Spanish lessons via external provider
~ forest school starting
~ increased parent engagement (e.g. Halloween parties)


We're so happy with the direction the nursery is heading in that we've started our 1 year old there in October.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We've attended Leeds Montessori since May 2024. Despite initial staff changes and disruptions, the team is now steady.


Our two-year-old runs into nursery, which is reassuring that he is loving the environment. Especially the bilingual Spanish sessions on Tuesdays.


The location is superb for trips

to roundhay and the outside play area is brilliant. Menus are frequently updated for great nutrition. We would appreciate it if the meat options considered our non-Halal religious background.


We are so pleased with our son's development and we have constant updates and parents evenings to keep in touch. We have already signed our three-month-old up for next year!


It is a little steep for the amount per month despite the goverment funding. But the staff here have shown their dedication and have even taken into consideration to help with extra sessions if extra childcare is required. I am happy to entrust my son into their care and gives us peace of mind that he is looked after.

My child is very well settled. The staff are absolutely amazing with him. I get a great handover from them each time I pick him up. He loves it here and has only been there several weeks.
Each day the food is different and he has already learnt so much here. Now crawling and standing my boy is very
happy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We had a parents' forum meeting today with management team. It was very reassuring to see how much the nursery has improved since the recent changes have been implanted and also how there are ongoing plans for further development. My wife and I are very happy in general with the progress our 2 years
old girl is doing both from social but also development perspective. Looking forward for next meeting!

My child loves attending nursery. She has come on so much. She loves Spanish on a Tuesday morning and loves to come home telling everyone what she's been learning on her days at nursery. She talks positively about nursery to everyone she sees.
Staff are lovely and helpful.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been at Montessori since 9 months old and has bonded very well with all the staff and key workers, from babies to toddlers.
All the staff have to say is lovely and bubbly and a pleasure to have. She has learnt a lot and come a long way and gets on very well with her friends and loves
joining in with everything.
She sometimes doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day, she likes it that much.

Review from K H (Mother of Child) published on 14 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been incredibly impressed with Leeds Montessori Nursery since our child started in the Baby Room at just 1 years old. Staff went above and beyond to make sure our little boy was happy and settled. As a very anxious parent staff undated me and ultimately made sure we were fully informed on every
account. There is a great reassurance, love and care which runs throughout the nursery, and all members of staff are very caring and engaged. The ethos of being outside and learning actively was important to us. With outdoor learning being so important it is brilliant to see how this is effectively used and loved by our little boy. Our now toddler is happy and settling making great relationships with other children and staff. When staff know your child inside out and can ensure they are happy, safe and learning that reassurance us we definitely picked the right nursery for us as a family.

Leeds Montessori is an excellent Nursery, we hold the employees in high regard and have always been grateful for their hard work and above-and-beyond attitude. The staff are the heart of the nursery and both our children have thoroughly enjoyed their time there, making a great deal of friends. We feel
Leeds Montessori has given our boys the best start in life and will always be thankful for the care and early years education they have received.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.821)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.821) out of 10 for Leeds Montessori School & Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 8 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 4.750 for Leeds Montessori School & Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (75 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.75
  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 4.071 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Leeds Montessori School & Day Nursery is based on 8 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.65
    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 95 number of registered child places is 19. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 19 = 0.421
  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.
