Little Cakes Montessori School

Little Cakes is an outstanding nursery, despite barely being apart up until starting our child settled in quickly with the caring, nurturing approach from all of the staff and genuinely loves attending.

The activities are structured, varied and most of all fun and you can see that the team have a real passion for what they do and the children whom they bond with.

The Manager is very hands on and takes the time to get to know all of the children and parents which really adds to the trust that we have with the nursery and the feeling of community and family.

We couldn’t wish for a better environment for our little one to thrive in. It is lovely to have the updates from the team and to see how much they are enjoying the daily outings. We particularly love how the nursery embraces the outdoors with daily outings really making the most of the natural, beautiful surroundings and making sure that the children get plenty of fresh air and exercise.

Both our children have attended Little Cakes Nursery. From the ages of 1.5 - 3years, they attended daily sessions. The learning environment for children is truly outstanding. Learning such important early skills, from language through to counting. Little Cakes encourages independent development, which we have really noticed at home - clearing plates, buttering bread etc. All teachers are caring and kind; they have treated both my children as though they are their own. They have felt loved and nurtured throughout their time at this nursery. And as parents, we have built wonderful relationships with these inspiring teachers. It is impeccably run with a fantastic administration team. Daily app updates for parents are fantastic. The outside environment for children is truly beautiful - surrounded by woodland and nature. Both my children have excelled during their time at Little Cakes - we cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. Outstanding on every level.

My two children were very happy at Little Cakes. The staff are great with the children, very kind to them and the forest school and setting is a lovely bonus. Lots to do and learn. End of year sports day and graduation were fun - the sun always shone on those days miraculously. Yes, I'd very much recommend.

Little Cakes has been and continues to be a wonderful setting for my children. They enjoy their time there. The staff are attentive and understanding. They genuinely care for the children's happiness and learning. The children are open to all sorts of experiences including cutting, pouring, Spanish, forest school and the list goes on.

Lovely nursery. All staff care about the children and are very nurturing. Good use of outdoor facilities. Kids go out every day and do Forest School regularly. Fun and loving with structured learning included. Have loved it.

Both my children have attended this nursery. The standard of care is high and staff are fantastic. Great usage of the outdoor grounds and a good variety of activities are undertaken on a daily basis. Would definitely recommend.

Our daughter started Little Cakes at 2.5, it was a tricky transition for her as this was her first time away from me. However, the teachers are so welcoming and caring that she soon settled in. The staff are very attentive if any problems arise and happy to work with parents to resolve anything. We were first attracted to the Montessori method and the location of the school is idyllic. She is able to spend a lot of time outdoors, surrounded by nature.

We have been impressed at how many things our daughter has been able to try: tennis, Spanish, forest school, as well as the annual events at Christmas, Easter and summer. There is a good focus on preparing the children to make the transition into big school and communicating with us where we need to input.

Our daughter has made many good friends at this nursery, we'll always be very happy that she went and hope that her little sister will follow in her footsteps in the future. I recommend the school to everyone looking for nurseries!
