Little Orchard Montessori Nursery - Lee Mill

I honestly cannot recommend this nursery enough. The staff are absolutely phenomenal, are so welcoming to parents and children. I was welcomed in to look around the nursery on my first visit and was met with a calm, welcoming, and fun environment. There is so much variety of toys and resources available, the space is beautiful. My little boy was so emotional on starting and the staff have really encouraged his confidence and will now leave me at the door to go in with staff and I am always greeted with a big smile and lots of stories of what he has done through the day. It is amazing that they use an app and I love being able to see what he is up to, book extra sessions, and keep an eye on his account.

Both our sons attend Little Orchard at Lee Mill and they are so happy there. All the staff are kind and nurturing and they communicate really well with us. They are both so well cared for there and growing in independence all the time. Our 3-year-old talks excitedly about all the things he's been doing and the staff work hard to follow his interests. He loves the various outdoor spaces as well. The menus are varied and everything is made on-site which is lovely. The hours are flexible and work well for us. We can't recommend this setting and the wonderful team there highly enough.

Amazing team fantastic support for both my children even with my child's needs the team go above and beyond. My daughter was so well-spoken by age 2 she’s so clever now and this is the reason my son now attends.

Always clean and well stocked with appropriate toys. Our daughter attends the baby room and loves it. The updates throughout the day are great. I have no worries about leaving my baby there from 5 months old.

Such a warming and trusting nursery!! Outstanding staff and communication with the children, love their outdoor space, my little one loves being outside and this nursery facilitates all of his needs, highly recommended.

Fantastic nursery. Our 2-year old daughter absolutely loves coming here! She actively looks forward to it and gets excited on nursery days. The staff are friendly, helpful and enthusiastic and the activities are well designed, thoughtful and engaging. We wouldn’t send her anywhere else now, highly recommend Little Orchard Montessori Nursery - Lee Mill.

My little boy has only recently started here and he is quite a shy and clingy child but the baby room leader is amazing with him and makes me feel so relaxed sending him in. They are happy for me to call and check on him and they also have a great app that we love. Highly recommend!

I cannot express my thanks to them in the way they have been helping my daughter, not only in education but in socialising and helping bring her speech/communication on in leaps and bounds!

My daughter has attended this nursery for nearly 12 months and has received fantastic care and attention. The staff update me daily through an app where I can see what my daughter has eaten that day and what activities she has taken part in, including photos. The location is perfect as it is set in the centre of Ivybridge town, so the children often get the chance to go on nature walks and visit the local residential homes, fire station and shops. The chef sends through a weekly meal planner so you can see what’s on the menu for the week.

They are very flexible with regards to extra sessions when needed, this is great when working like myself. I highly recommend this setting for any pre-school child needing nursery!

I love this nursery, everyone who works here is so friendly and lovely. My daughter is shy and doesn’t take to strangers well but she loves it here. I really like the time line of her day, I check this regularly whilst at work just to see what she’s up to. The food is also great, healthy and nutritious. Fab nursery and I highly recommend it.

I would highly recommend this nursery. I’m sure she’ll miss it a lot come September when she leaves for big school!

The staff are very friendly, always have time to speak to parents at any time and I leave my son with a smile on his face and pick him up with an even bigger smile on his face. I am always informed on what activities my son has been involved in during the week, what he has been having for his lunch and he is always busy with lots of activities.

I couldn’t be happier with Little Orchard Montessori Nursery - Ivy Town. Both my girls love spending time here. The staff and managers are absolutely fantastic and I always feel at ease knowing my girls are in very safe hands. They both love eating the chefs freshly cooked meals and have lots of fun exploring new things. I have found the whole Montessori ethos works really well, in letting my girls follow what interests them and learn at their own pace. They’ve both gained confidence in themselves and made some really lovely friends. I also love hearing and seeing what my girls have been up to through the Famly app, which is great for being kept informed and is so easy to use. Thank you!

Since my daughter has joined Little Orchards, she has settled in and progressed so much. She has made a huge bond with her peers and staff alike. She enjoys going to Nursery and every morning enthusiastically greets everyone. I would highly recommend Little Orchards to other parents/guardians.

My son has been attending this nursery since September 2017 due to us relocating. I was worried how he would be, starting a new nursery as he is only 3. I cannot thank this nursery enough. My son's confidence has grown huge amounts and he always wants to go to nursery. He was very fussy with his food and would just pick at his dinner whereas now he eats a full meal at the nursery and they are very healthy home cooked dinners.
