Review from Paris A (Mother of Child) published on 2 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been attending Bletchley Montessori Nursery for 6 months now and we are amazed at what incredible progress she has made in such a short period of time. Her confidence, eagerness to explore and independence have grown tremendously. She is always so happy to attend - from the moment we
drive into the car park, she's excited and shows genuine enthusiasm towards all staff members. The staff are exceptional - warm, approachable and highly knowledgeable. They create such a safe and supportive environment for both children and parents, keeping us well informed between the app and at collection time. The facilities are excellent, from the indoor ball pit to the outdoor play area and everything in between. The meals provided are fantastic, so good that my daughter regularly asks for seconds. We could not recommend this nursery highly enough. It is clear how much she is thriving thanks to the team and we only wish she could continue here until she is 18!
Reply from Bletchley Montessori Team, Owner at Bletchley Montessori Day Nursery and Pre-SchoolThank you for your kind review and acknowledging how hard staff work to look after the children in our care. We love having your daughter and are lucky to be a part of her learning and development.

Review from Mika M (Mother of Child) published on 25 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our two-year-old son has been attending the nursery for over a year now, and we are very impressed with the curriculum. Activities range from baking, dancing, park play, science experiments and craft sessions to special events such as a petting zoo. We love their Montessori approach, which encourages
independence, exploration and learning through hands-on experiences.
To strengthen children's communication and language skills, the staff ask thoughtful questions and give children plenty of time to think and respond. To support personal, social and emotional development, they also encourage children to work collaboratively with their peers. Furthermore, the food menu is well thought through to support children's wellbeing.
Our son loves seeing the nursery's pet tortoise, Toffee, which especially motivates him to attend each morning. Our four-year-old daughter also attends the holiday club regularly and she absolutely loves her time there as well.
Reply from Bletchley Montessori Team, Owner at Bletchley Montessori Day Nursery and Pre-SchoolThank you for your kind review. We are so happy to hear your son is benefitting from our Montessori curriculum approach, and we are delighted to hear your daughter enjoys holiday club so much! Toffee will be happy to know she is motivating your son to learn.

I am extremely happy with this Montessori nursery. The environment is calm, welcoming and thoughtfully prepared to support children's independence and curiosity. The staff are kind, patient and genuinely care about each child's individual needs and development. The Montessori approach is clearly reflected
in the daily activities, helping children build confidence, practical life skills and a real love for learning. Communication with parents is excellent and I always feel informed and reassured. My child has settled in very well and is always happy to attend. I highly recommend this nursery.
Reply from Bletchley Montessori Team, Owner at Bletchley Montessori Day Nursery and Pre-SchoolThank you for your kind review. We are so pleased to hear you are happy with our calm environment, and our montessori approach to learning and development.

Review from Nabihah B (Mother of Child) published on 16 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We made the switch to this nursery in October and couldn't be happier with our decision. My son looks forward to going every morning, and it was wonderful to see how quickly he settled in - a real testament to how safe, secure, and comfortable he feels with both the staff and the other children.
The
security is excellent, with a buzzer-entry system, and we receive regular updates throughout the day via the app, including photos and weekly observations. My son always comes home well-rested and in great spirits. We also love that all meals are freshly cooked in-house; he's gone from barely eating to happily finishing every meal provided at nursery.
We truly can't praise this nursery and its staff enough. Any concerns are addressed promptly, and emails are always responded to quickly. I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone.
Reply from Bletchley Montessori Team, Owner at Bletchley Montessori Day Nursery and Pre-SchoolWe are so pleased to hear you are happy with the facilities and freshly prepared meals! Your son has been joy from the moment of his arrival, and we are glad to be a part of his learning and development!

Review from Tiana D (Mother of Child) published on 16 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When my daughter first started the nursery she was very on and off, having some good and some bad days. The staff were always super patient with her and reassured us as parents. Since starting the nursery, my daughter is always super excited to go to nursery. She looks forward to seeing friends and
staff, showing that she feels comfortable and safe in her environment.
The staff have eased our worries, as parents sending our child to nursery for the first time and show genuine interest in the children who attend.
Meals are always freshly prepared and a variety of foods are given on a daily basis.
I have no concern whatsoever about the level of care my child receives at nursery, and I have been recommending the nursery to all local family and friends.
Reply from Bletchley Montessori Team, Owner at Bletchley Montessori Day Nursery and Pre-SchoolThank you for your kind words! We are so pleased with her progress and she is wonderful to be around! :)

Our children's experience of this nursery has been nothing short of fantastic. Every staff member has a caring and attentive approach and both of my children are or have been extremely happy at the setting. The activities they do with the children help the strive and learn something new everyday and
very enjoyable. My eldest child was completely ready for school and that was down to the nursery. My youngest is still there and thriving everyday. The staff are the most helpful towards the parents.

Amazing nursery and preschool. Very caring, patient, dedicated and hardworking staff/team.
My child wasn't speaking English but thanks to them, in few months she was speaking it fluently and am now taking my second child there as well.
I keep on recommending it to all the mom's I know or come across,
that's how great this nursery is.

I couldn't be happier with this nursery. The staff are warm, welcoming, and genuinely care about the children. My child settled in so quickly and always looks forward to going, which gives me complete peace of mind. The activities are fun, creative, and educational, and I've noticed such a boost in
confidence and social skills. The nursery is clean, safe, and very well organised. Communication with parents is excellent too - I'm always kept up to date with progress and daily routines. Truly a wonderful place that feels like a second home for my little one.

Review from April P (Mother of Child) published on 8 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All three of my children have attended this setting over the last sixteen years and as a parent, I have been happy and content with the care all of them received. All three children have thrived and made positive relationships with both peers and key staff.
The online app that the nursery now uses
helps me to keep up to date with my child's experiences throughout her day, allowing me to feel included.
In addition to the daily routines of nursery, they also offer extra activities such as teddy tennis and superstar sports all of which my child wouldn't experience without attending this setting.

My son is at Wind in the Willows Nursery and has been for the last 3 years, and he has thrived very well there. The staff are very friendly and approachable and always made sure both my son and ourselves are comfortable and updated on his progress. He has learned discipline and many other social skills
from there. They always give priority to teaching phonics and other subjects covered in reception, so when he goes to school this year it's going to be easy for him. This is the cleanest nursery I could find in Bletchley, having visited many nurseries prior to sending my kids there. My daughter also went to the same nursery and they taught her to write, phonics, shapes and many other things, so it was very easy for her to get accustomed to school rules. I recommend them.

Extremely recommend Wind in the Willows, absolutely professional staff, very kind, friendly and experienced. I'm very happy and lucky that I could send my baby girl there, after only a couple of months since my little one has been there, I could see changes. Happy mummy, happy baby!

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.449)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.449) out of 10 for Bletchley Montessori Day Nursery and Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.916 for Bletchley Montessori Day Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (98 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.916
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.533 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bletchley Montessori Day Nursery and Pre-School is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.7
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 54 number of registered child places is 10.8. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.8 = 0.833
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
