As a parent, it was heartwarming to see her growing confidence and the sense of community. These events really highlight the nurturing environment the nursery provides, blending fun, learning, and physical development perfectly.
Thank you for being part of our Play Studio Montessori community!
We are very happy with the nursery. The staff are caring, supportive, and always make our child feel safe and welcome. We have seen great progress in confidence, social skills, and overall development.

During our time there, I experienced undisclosed fee increases, inconsistently applied policies, and what appeared to be overcharging on optional extras that was never adequately explained or resolved. When I raised these concerns politely, I found it difficult to get straightforward answers, and the owner would often interject into financial correspondence with the accountant.
Despite marketing itself as a nursery for working parents, in my experience it offered little flexibility when parents needed it, whilst routinely expecting understanding from parents in return.
We are pleased that you recognised the dedication and care of our staff, who work hard to provide a nurturing environment for every child.

We are pleased that you recognised the dedication and care of our staff, who work hard to provide a nurturing environment for every child.
We were disappointed to read your comments regarding financial transparency. All fee changes were communicated to parents in advance, and our invoices were fully itemised in line with current government funding guidance and regulations.
When your concerns were raised, each point was reviewed carefully. We also consulted with the local authority where appropriate and made any necessary adjustments to ensure all charges were accurate and fairly applied.
As a nursery supporting many working families, we aim to be as flexible as possible while applying our policies consistently and fairly to all parents. As the nursery owner, I may become involved in correspondence when items are escalated to me.
We remain committed to high-quality care, transparent communication, and wish you and your family the best for the future.
Such an amazing environment for a child. Loads of fun and educational based learning. My oldest has just left and is about to start primary and she's learnt so much to help her prepare. My youngest is currently there and she smiles going in. Great communication with any concerns or requests....
Such an amazing environment for a child. Loads of fun and educational based learning. My oldest has just left and is about to start primary and she's learnt so much to help her prepare. My youngest is currently there and she smiles going in. Great communication with any concerns or requests. Amazing food and snacks for the kids.
Thank you so much for your kind words and 5-star review! It's been such a joy watching your oldest grow and get ready for school - we're so proud of everything she's achieved. We're equally delighted that your youngest comes in with a smile; that really means so much to us. Thank you for trusting us with your children and for being such a wonderful part of our community.

The play room seemed very clean and organized . I very much admired the interaction between student and teacher ..
The school had a great structure for learning and play.
We had an incredibly distressing and painful experience at Playstudio Montessori. While under their care, our child suffered a severe accident that resulted in the loss of 3 front teeth. The most devastating part? The nursery took no responsibility whatsoever. Our son went through a traumatic...
There was no emotional support, no follow-up, and no accountability. Instead, the nursery chose to close the door on us, both literally and figuratively, as though nothing had happened. For a place that claims to prioritise child development and wellbeing, this response was beyond disappointing.
We are left heartbroken, let down, and still struggling to understand how something like this could be brushed aside so easily. No family should ever have to endure what we went through.
Please, think twice before enrolling your child here. There are better nurseries that genuinely value your child's safety, progress, and emotional wellbeing.
If the staff had the ability to run and coordinate the nursery it would be a wonderful place. Unfortunately, the owner does not allow that to happen. Beware if you are unfortunate enough to raise a dispute/complaint she will get rid of you before the ink dries. The staff who have childcare degrees...
If the staff had the ability to run and coordinate the nursery it would be a wonderful place. Unfortunately, the owner does not allow that to happen. Beware if you are unfortunate enough to raise a dispute/complaint she will get rid of you before the ink dries. The staff who have childcare degrees and qualifications should lead the setting but this does not happen. The manager (all in name only) accidentally disclosed that my child along with other children are being held back without parental knowledge (the room did not meet the legal requirements for space and ratio -safeguarding concern) - when we raised a welfare concern regarding this the nursery ignored all forms of communication, for over a week. The manger then lied and denied without hesitation. Prices were in line with some of the best nurseries in the UK but did not offer anything similar for extra curricular - seems like P.S.M need to charge min £1k per child to stay a float even with funding. We were constantly up sold items.

Initially, I wasn’t sure if I wanted my child to attend a nursery but from the first encounter with Play Studio, I felt at ease and knew it was the right place. The staff are compassionate, creating a warm and nurturing environment for the children. The facility is immaculate, and strict safety measures are in place, ensuring a secure and healthy environment.
The curriculum is engaging and age-appropriate, contributing to my child's cognitive, social, and emotional development. Play Studio provides regular updates on my child's activities and learning progress. I also enjoy the quick chats with staff during pick-ups.
Another reason I recommend Play Studio is the emphasis placed on building a partnership with parents to ensure a unified and warm approach to the child’s learning.
Keep up the good work!

My daughter has been attending Play Studio Montessori for almost a year and there’s nothing that I can say that can convey how amazing, caring, loving, and supportive the team is! They always go the extra mile and this is reflected in how much my daughter loves to go to nursery, and how much she has learned so far. The curriculum embraces children's flexibility and they stimulate curiosity, independence, and engaging children's interest and creativity. The nursery has a various range of programmes incl. arts, music, parent workshops, cultural activities, practical activities and days out with parents volunteering and being involved. We all know that this is the real investment we all make in this life, the education of our children and the best start they could have in this life, and this nursery stands out above the rest. We have daily updates with pictures and videos and regular progress review meetings. It is a home away from home and the communication and partnership we have with the team is amazing.

Our daughter started in January. The staff is dedicated to welcoming all kids into the nursery and for everyone to have a great...
I also love the fact that they cook everything from scratch and they have a beautiful outside space/garden. We couldn‘t be happier and are very grateful to have found this nursery.

We chose Play Studio as our nursery due to its Montessori approach to learning and play. Since joining the nursery our child has progressed far beyond our expectations, every day they return happy, settled and singing. The nursery staff update us throughout the day via app and we have a direct line of communication. Recently, they have begun potty training and this has massively supported us at home. There are opportunities for parent involvement at organised events such as trips to the local church and library. As parents, we trust the nursery to look after our child and we would highly recommend them.
We're thrilled to hear about the positive impact Play Studio has had on your child's development! Our Montessori approach to learning and play is designed to nurture each child's unique abilities and interests, and it's wonderful to hear that your child has thrived in this environment....

The nursery is warm, immaculate and stimulating atmosphere where my daughter thrives. A holistic approach to cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. The curriculum embraces flexibility to cater to my daughter's needs. The nursery stimulates curiosity and creativity with toys, sensory areas, soothing colours, soft textures and engaging classrooms to outdoor play areas thoughtfully crafted to encourage exploration and interaction, promoting a sense of wonder and curiosity for my daughter. Play Studio offers a range of programs, including music, arts, and cultural activities. These programs enhance the learning experience, helping my daughter develop her interests. Regular updates and progress reviews with a detailed report foster a strong partnership with her key person. The dedication to the engaging curriculum and the emphasis on holistic development make it stand out, setting a benchmark for nurseries seeking to provide exceptional services.

Using the Montessori method, we help you give your child an incredible start in life.

The setting/environment is very cosy, modern and clean. This and the Montessori approach was the main selling point to us in choosing the nursery, and it did not let us down. We implement the Montessori approach at home, so it only made sense to continue to implement it in the nursery setting.
The staff is always there to update us about the day, always welcoming and supporting if any concerns/issues arise. Also, we get daily detailed updates on the app with pictures and videos of the day. Children seem to be well cared for.
Would I recommend it to friends? Yes, and already did!

The staff and management were all amazing. Always creates different activities and makes his day fun.
I have noticed positive changes in him. He has become more confident in carrying out activities such as writing, and reading books and his vocabulary has improved.
Overall we are very happy and will highly recommend this nursery to everyone.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We loved having him with us and we wish you all the best at your new home. Hope you come and visit us soon.

All the daily updates we received were verbal if any at all, this made it difficult to track any progress. While we were given access to the app, barely anything was uploaded for us to see, a few pictures here and there but no daily updates on what our child drank, ate, nappy changes, sleep, activities..etc. It was a chore to keep asking every day.
We had to abruptly take our child out of the nursery in January after a horrible series of events which took place on the nursery grounds with the supposed key worker for our child and with the proprietor over the phone. Several safety and safeguarding concerns were raised formally via email in January, and we still have not received a response until now.
We would not recommend this place.
We take every complaint very seriously and follow our complaints policy to ensure things are dealt with satisfactorily. All the allegations made were thoroughly investigated and we watched hundreds of hours of CCTV footage from the day you joined our setting and found that every issue raised was...
We take every complaint very seriously and follow our complaints policy to ensure things are dealt with satisfactorily. All the allegations made were thoroughly investigated and we watched hundreds of hours of CCTV footage from the day you joined our setting and found that every issue raised was untrue. The relevant authorities as per our safeguarding policy were involved and did not uphold any of your complaints also.
One of your requests would have required us to compromise our integrity which we were not willing to do. What is so sad to see is your vindictiveness knowing full well that most of your allegations have been made up.
As a new setting, just like a newborn, we are developing and making improvements through our daily reflective practice. However, we have always met all our legal obligations. We have gone beyond any requirement for parents' partnership and ALL our existing parents attest to the support and quality of care they continue to receive from us.

I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to put my son into this nursery. I always wanted to have my children in a Montessori learning environment. I would not want anything else for my son. The employees are so attentive and have the absolute best interest not only of my son but for me and how I am managing life as a parent, especially as a first-time mum. I’m always able to kindly decline any form of additional support from the nursery, but with the genuine care and support that is offered, I’m always open to receiving it. Since being in the nursery, it has helped with the struggle of my son's eating as now he is a much better eater; they have a variety of foods which dietary requirements are accommodated for. My son has developed his learning and communication significantly! The facilities are secure and very clean and provide different environments for different forms of development. Would definitely recommend this nursery.
Thank you very much for your kind words. Our goal is to create a supportive environment which allows each child to thrive. We value our parent partnership and believe it is fundamental to the whole development of the child.
Play Studio Montessori Nursery is absolutely brilliant. The learning system for our children and the communication system for us parents is very high standards.

My child has only been at this nursery for a few days but I can already tell he is going to love it here. He came home in such a great mood, and barely even noticed that I'd arrived at the nursery at home time because he was having so much fun. He comes home clean, and I am always well informed of what he has done and how his moods have been throughout the day. I'm glad to have such a lovely team of staff taking care of him while I work. Thank you all
Thank you so much for your kind words. He has settled in so well and is enjoying all the activities at our new Montessori nursery.

I was really afraid as he was born during the pandemic and finds it difficult around new people but the team has just been outstanding! They have been so professional and patient with my son. He has been given the utmost respect and freedom to express himself. Everything from meeting the team for the first time, and settling days to his first official day at the nursery has been amazing. It’s hard to find professionals that give so much compassion to your child that makes you feel at ease when you're not the one looking after them. Thank you Play Studio team.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are delighted to have your child with us. He is such a gem. Thank you for choosing Play Studio Montessori Nurseries to start his education adventure. Let the magic of Montessori continue.
