Review from Michael P (Father of Child) published on 30 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been attending since the beginning of January, and we absolutely love the nursery. They genuinely cared about getting our son settled as soon as possible, realising it was a massive change in routine for both our son and ourselves. It's only been a few months but he absolutely loves going in, now we have the struggle of getting him to leave at pick up! Loads of space and a sheltered outdoor play area which is ideal. The staff are absolutely brilliant We genuinely are so pleased we chose this nursery.

Review from I R (Mother of Child) published on 30 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I can not be more pleased with this nursery, staff are amazing, they go above and beyond for the children ( not only mine) . They do a lots of activities, and yes if your child come home dirty it means he had fun and played. I have not one but two children here, both started at age 9 months and I'm more then sure that my children are well taken care of. Staff communications with me is great, they do a handover at receiving and collection of each child . Really there are not enough wards to describe how happy i am with this nursery.

My daughter started the nursery at the age of 1, now is just over 3. The staff is just amazing. You can really see how much they care and always make us feel like my daughter is the greatest kid in the world. They are not only looking after her but also contributing in her development.

Highly recommended

Review from Nicole R (Mother of Child) published on 25 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The girls at the nursery always go above and beyond for the kids. I couldn't wish for a better setting for my children. They absolutely love it there. The staff always give us a rundown at the end of the day about how their day has been, what they have eaten etc. it's really helpful for us carrying on with the routine at home. There's always fun events on where they get the kids involved. Vikki is an asset to the nursery, she's always there to help, or a shoulder to cry on. She actually cares about the families.

Review from H G (Mother of Child) published on 25 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Choosing Castle Nursery Montagu has truly been one of the best decisions I have made for my daughter. The children enjoy a wide variety of activities every day, learning through play while having so much fun.

The care here is wonderful - every member of staff is warm, patient and attentive. My daughter is always well looked after in every aspect, from play and learning to meals, naps and emotional support.

The management team is also incredibly helpful and supportive to parents. A special thank you to the manager, Vikki, whose kindness, understanding and constant smile bring so much reassurance and trust.

I feel very lucky that Castle Nursery Montagu will be part of my daughter's childhood from the age of 6 months. I'm truly grateful to every member of staff who has cared for her.

My son went to this nursery 8 years ago and now my two other children go and honestly it's hands down the best nursery, the staff are lovely and very welcoming and let you know if anything's wrong and how your child day has went from start to finish! They're very helpful and polite while talking to you! They always welcome children in with smiles and they're very welcoming and smiley.

Overall Experience
My grandson (who lives with me) has attended this nursery since he was about 2 and he’s loved every minute of it.
They have helped him with his learning so much and he has made so many little friends here.
The staff are so friendly, down to earth, and always ready to help with anything they can.

He loves coming here and will miss it a lot when he goes to reception in September.

Overall Experience
My twin girls have been in this nursery for over 2 years, I have 6 children with the twins being my youngest of all the nurseries I've been to over the years this one is the very best!

The staff is amazing and my girls are thriving the warm welcome you get and the love and attention that goes into every aspect of their jobs show every day. Management is amazing nothing is a problem and they listen to parents with any concerns and bring the best out in my girls. I can't rate them highly enough 5* nursery!

Overall Experience
Outstanding school can’t fault anyone or anything.
Helped and still helping my daughter's confidence and food fears, also helping my son with his separation anxiety and me as a parent on how to handle the breakdowns. Always there to help and support you as a parent too.

Would recommend this school to anyone who has small children.

Review from Heather F (Foster Parent of Child) published on 19 November 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
As a foster carer, I have used this nursery over a number of years.
I have to say, this nursery so deserves its outstanding rating. The children that have had the opportunity to be part of this warm, nurturing environment have all loved their time here.
Each child is cared for as an individual, so specific needs are always met.
May I also say how supportive and kind all of the staff have been to me, keeping me fully informed of how the children’s day has been and of their progress.

I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to any parent/carer.

Overall Experience

I met the nursery in August 2020. I am a foster carer and the children in my care had attended this nursery for years. I was greeted by management in a professional, confidential way. I was given all information to help me with the children. I have had continuous support from management and all staff. I cannot speak highly enough of this nursery. All staff have been amazing with me and the children.
