Monarchs is becoming a family tradition! My eldest attended, my second child now attends, and we plan to send our third next year. Both children were very happy once settled and developed new skills and independence. The staff are friendly and caring, and there are plenty of engaging activities and educational toys. The management has also been accommodating of my child's dietary needs. Highly recommended!

I had a positive feel about Monarchs nursery after my very first visit. They offer so much for the children to do: role play, exploring books, creative/messy play activities, circle time, singing and dancing. My boy particularly enjoys playing in the soft play area and outside in the garden. My child enjoys the snacks and meals provided - sometimes having more than one portion! I've felt supported with any developmental changes we've been through and, as my child has grown, I like how independence is promoted. The staff always handover information at the end of the day in person, as well as on the app. The staff are absolutely lovely and I feel they all know my child well - not just his key worker. There are updates about events (including Mother's/Father's Day and parents meetings), dressing up days and termly newsletters through email and the app. Most importantly, my child goes in happily every morning and runs out smiling at the end of the day.

My daughter has really grown in confidence since starting nursery and it is lovely to see how happy and comfortable she is there. The staff are attentive, patient and genuinely care about the children, and they always take the time to keep us updated about her day and how she is getting on.
We also really appreciate how approachable and supportive the team are whenever we have any questions or concerns. It is reassuring to know that my daughter is being cared for in such a nurturing environment.
A big thank you to the whole team for everything you do.
It has been wonderful to see your child grow in confidence, always so happy and settled at nursery.
We look forward to continuing to support them as they learn, grow, and flourish with us.

My little one has been at Monarchs now for 2 months and has settled so well, a lot faster than I thought she would (she was 9 months when starting) all the staff are so kind and caring towards her and have made my daughter's transition to nursery so smooth and easy which has made my transition back to work a lot calmer than I had anticipated. The management are amazing and are so supportive, no questions are ever an issue and they respond so quickly, my daughter loves coming to Monarchs and she has already learned so much from crawling to learning how to pull herself up, the setting is well laid out and the activities they set out are amazing (even I would want to play with them) definitely the best setting for us.
Both my daughter and son attend Monarchs Childcare. My son is a SEN child who requires additional support and staff at Monarchs have been amazing with him.

Both my daughter and son attend Monarchs Childcare. My son is a SEN child who requires additional support and staff at Monarchs have been amazing with him. Monarchs is his happy place and I feel at ease when I leave both my children here especially my boy. The staff here always go above and beyond and my kids would rather be at Monarchs then at home during the half term. They have definitely made a difference with my son in terms of support and learning. We have been attending Monarchs for nearly 10 years and would not go anywhere else. The standard of care is brilliant and exceptional.
Myself and my husband would highly recommend Monarchs Childcare. Our daughter attended this nursery for over a year from the age of 7 months until I had another baby, and she thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt so much, the staff are wonderful and I can’t thank them enough for the care they gave my...

My child has attended Monarchs Nursery for a year now and she loves it. Moreover, I love the care she receives. They learn so much that my child comes home and teaches us! They also give a lot of love and care to each child. The facilities are excellent and staff too. I especially appreciate that when I drop her off, they come out to receive her singing cheery and happy - therefore putting my child at ease as I leave. Thank you.
