I was initially worried that my son might struggle to adapt to the nursery because English is not our first language and he mostly communicated in Spanish. However, he adapted very quickly and now he absolutely loves coming every day. He is learning so many things, and I am really happy with the
care he receives. It makes me feel at ease knowing that he always wants to go to his nursery and that he feels happy and safe there. Thank you very much for everything you do for him.

I couldn't recommend Little Elms enough. The team is absolutely incredible, and my daughter has truly thrived since joining. Every day she's excited to go to nursery. All of the teachers, along with Miss Nish, are so caring and supportive. Their communication is excellent, they organise many
activities, and the children are always learning something new. I would recommend Little Elms to anyone, I am so grateful and thankful to all of the wonderful staff for contributing to my daughters happiness and development.

Really pleased with how my daughter is getting on at little elms, she has made lovely friends and has great relationships with the teachers! A nurturing environment for the children with both learning and play
03 September 2025
Both my children attended Little Elms Montessori, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. We initially chose the nursery for its Ofsted Outstanding rating, and it truly deserves that and more. The staff are warm, caring, and deeply knowledgeable in the Montessori approach. Our children
thrived both emotionally and academically, making incredible progress during their time there. The nursery has a homely, nurturing feel, with a beautiful outdoor area surrounded by nature. Drop-off is easy with the convenient car park. The meals are healthy and well-loved by the children. Communication with parents is excellent, with a clear and effective strategy in place. We are so grateful to the manager and the entire team for their dedication and care. I wholeheartedly recommend Little Elms to any parent-it's a truly special place where children flourish.

Review for Little Elms Montessori Nursery:
My daughter attended Little Elms Nursery, and I couldn't be more grateful for the care and support she received. When she first started, she didn't speak any English, but thanks to the amazing teachers and the wonderful staff, she now speaks English
confidently and has improved so much.
Little Elms is a fantastic nursery with a caring and attentive team. The children are engaged in a variety of activities every day, and the environment is both nurturing and supportive.
I'm especially thankful to everyone who helped my daughter not only with her language development but also with her social skills. She used to struggle to make friends, but now she interacts happily with others.
I deeply appreciate the hard work and dedication of the staff-you've made a real difference in my daughter's life, and I will always be thankful for that.

Our daughter has been incredibly happy at Little Elms Montessori and has absolutely thrived. As a teacher of over 10 years, I can confidently say this is a fantastic educational setting.
The teachers and nursery nurses are warm, kind, caring, and genuinely dedicated to the wellbeing of every child.
The activities are thoughtfully planned, with a lovely mix of creative, educational and multicultural experiences. There's also a good variety of extra-curricular activities.
Communication with parents is excellent, and a healthy lunch is available if you don't want to send a packed lunch-another thoughtful touch.
We actually moved further away during our daughter's time at the nursery, but chose to keep her there because of how happy and supported she felt. The management has been flexible and understanding throughout.
We are so grateful to all the staff for the care and support they've shown. We will miss the nursery hugely. A heartfelt thank you!

Our little girl has been at Little Elms for a year now and we couldn't be happier. The staff are all super friendly, and I really feel that they care for the kids and help them develop their little personalities. My daughter who is about to be three, is always looking forward to going to her nursery
and keeps talking about her friends and teachers there.
As parents, we appreciate the good communication and how well-organised it is. But the most important thing is that I feel that I can totally trust them to look after our kids.

My daughter has been attending Little Elm's Montessori Nursery for around 7 months (my son also attended but is now in school) and it is a brilliant nursery with wonderful, caring teachers. It is clean, tidy and a great space for lots of fun!
The staff keep the children thoroughly entertained with
lots of different thought-out activities all in line with the Montessori philosophy. We are updated daily with things the children have done via an app which is very nice. They also teach the children independence and real-life skills such as how to clean up and chop vegetables etc which helps prepare them for the real world!
They have a lovely outdoor play area too and my daughter absolutely loves going to nursery. I feel confident knowing she is in safe hands when she is there with very professional and caring adults.
I highly recommend Little Elm's Montessori Nursery!
