Before Old Station Road took over, I recommend it to everyone. However, that is no longer the case. We were told that it would be a slow transition over to the new system and changing company. However, it wasn't. You have taken away term time, you dictate what sessions. We are paying customers, why should I have to pay until 6 when I pay this company thousands with both my children. Why do we have to pay for bank Holidays now? Not even open. And the new app is rubbish. Don't see any pictures of children doing activities just the set-up. The staff are incredible. And it's heartbreaking to see this once wonderful nursery just being ripped apart. The staff are the only reason I am still there! Don't even get me started on the price rising when it and only just been done under previous management a month before the change. And quite frankly how the company treats their staff I also find disgusting! Management rating is not based on the Manager in Margate, more the actual managing company The Old Station Nursery Group.
At Townsend Montessori Margate, we prioritise providing a nurturing and safe environment for all children, while also offering affordable and accessible childcare options for families in the community. We understand how expensive childcare is...
Our daughter absolutely loves going to this nursery, and we love it too. Everyone is so friendly, the activities are creative and fun, and the food provided is excellent. She is so happy and excited about telling us about her day each day she is there. We could not have asked for a better experience.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review, we really appreciate it!
I find the nursery great, there is brilliant communication from the staff and they seem to really care about my daughter's well-being. She is very happy there and I like that it is a smaller space with not too many children per room.
Thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate it!
The nursery have been great, my son is 3 months and is starting nursery. I didn't want to send him so young. But the staff have been amazing and made him settle in very well and I am happy with how they take care of them too.
Thank you for your review, we really appreciate it!
Both of my sons have been to this nursery and have absolutely enjoyed every minute. The staff communicate effectively and are just a pleasure to be around, the environment is always clean and provides a happy and friendly atmosphere. My children thrive and have learnt so much with the help from all the staff at the nursery. My youngest started during covid and their procedures were to a fantastic standard. My youngest who is still currently at the nursery comes home smiling and happy about his day. They really do go above and beyond to give your children the best in their development in preparation for school.
Thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate it!
I feel that my child is well cared for and is encouraged to take part in all of the activities. All the staff are very helpful and know my child's needs very well. The staff ensure that all communication is handed over in a timely manner and is easy to understand.
Thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate it!
The nursery are fantastic! Both my children now attend the nursery and the team are great and nurturing to them both! they share many photos of what the children have been up to and its nice to regularly see what they're doing during the time they are there! Highly recommend this nursery!
Hi and thank you for your review! We really appreciate it.
My son has been in this nursery for the last 10 months and I cannot fault it. He has learnt so much since starting and has made many lovely connections with the staff and other children. We always get a very warm welcome on drop off and collection and the app is always updated on what they've been up to that day. Going to the recent parents' evening was lovely as we got to see how at home our son feels in his room there. My son loves the nursery, thanks to all the lovely staff!
Thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate it!
Thank you to all the staff at Townsend Montessori Margate, you are fantastic and very professional, supportive and caring, great communication. My toddlers enjoy coming to nursery, I know they're safe and being well looked after.
Hi and thank you for your review, we really appreciate it!
My son went to this nursery and did not manage to settle in. The nursery is crowded with small indoor/outdoor space, nursery staff was friendly but too focused on updating the online platform. I was not sure if children's development activities take place or not, we were never sent home any drawings or other work.
