Here are some of our Ofsted comments from the past few years:
Montessori Method
We adopt The Montessori Method, we love this approach to learning and our children will always be respected and surrounded by love when in our care.
All ages can enjoy playing together and building friendships. We help to foster independence and confidence in a number of ways, for example children are encouraged to pour their own water or milk, butter their own toast or crackers, and peel their own bananas or satsumas. This makes snack time fun and the children gain so much independence, self-confidence and motor control by learning these important skills.
Parental Feedback
Here are just a few examples of comments from our parents:
This is a fantastic nursery. The love and care the staff showed not just to my children but the whole family was and is second to none. I wish they had provisions for KS1 and 2 as my children would have stayed with them. The staff became part of our family! We miss them so much. Thank you for helping shape my boys into to lovely young men they are becoming. Miss you all so much!

Both my children attended the Village Montessori Nursery School and they absolutely loved every minute. Every single member of staff were wonderful… we remember their nursery days fondly. They still talk about Lyndsey who they both had a soft spot for. The care and support they received was up there with the best and I would highly recommend The Village Montessori for all of your young child’s every day nurturing needs.

An absolutely brilliant nursery with excellent staff. All 3 of my children attended this nursery from a young age, and they all settled in really well and loved every minute of it.

Amazing nursery! Both of my girls settled really quickly from being there as 1 year olds. The staff are so caring and very experienced, most have worked in the setting for years. They know all the children really well. Lots of different opportunities to play. Its been lovely to see my daughter’s confidence grow which made the transition to school easier. Its been like an extension of our family. Highly recommend.
