Overall Experience

My little one started in the baby room at 10 months old in 2023. From day 1 the manager has been amazing at making sure that all of his needs were met, as he wasn't the easiest child to transition into nursery. He quickly learnt to love nursery, the staff and his friends. He tells me all about the food

he has eaten, the toys he has played with, the staff he has spoken to and the activities in the garden. Developmentally, the nursery take into account what each individual is working on. They go above and beyond the expected curriculum. At the moment, my child is being supported in learning his second language. Emotionally, his keyworker is helping him to express himself more and he loves a cuddle when he needs support. All of the staff are so caring that he will happily go to any of them for a cuddle. I am kept informed on everything daily via the app and in person. I can't wait for baby number 2 to start.

It is amazing to hear how much your little one has grown in confidence and settled into nursery, especially after a challenging transition. Seeing him build strong relationships, enjoy his days, and share his experiences with you is so special.We are so pleased that you appreciate the individual support he receives, both developmentally and emotionally. Supporting children in their learning, including second languages, and helping them express themselves is something we are passionate about. It is also lovely to hear that he feels comfortable with all of our caring team members when he needs a cuddle or reassurance.Thank you for your kind words about our communication and for your trust in us. We are so excited to welcome baby number two when the time comes!

Overall Experience

As soon as we looked round the nursery for the first time we knew it was the right place for us. The nursery has a warm and inviting feel with a variety of stimulating outdoor and indoor spaces. Staff are committed to supporting our child in a caring and professional manner. They are clearly very experienced

in childcare and development and always reassure if we have any concerns. Our child has flourished and is always happy to be dropped off. We can't thank them enough!

Overall Experience

My son attended this nursery 5 years ago. Now that I have a new baby, I enquired at this nursery again. 5 years ago when my older child was there, he was very happy and settled.
5 years later my youngest is in this nursery and is soaring with confidence.
All staff are very informative and supportive

of each child's individual needs.
They offer a variety of items on the menu and the app they use to communicate with parents is very informative as it gives an extensive breakdown of the day.
My son settled in very quickly and warmed to all staff with no hesitations!
His key worker had gotten to know him very well and they also have a parent's evening for parents looking at each key area of your child's development and identifying strengths and areas for improvement.
They have an amazing outdoor area.
The booking system is also flexible and has allowed for additional bookings when required.
I would highly recommend this nursery for any parent considering daycare.

Reply from Charlotte, Parent Relations at Stoneygate Montessori Leicester

It is so special to hear that after having such a positive experience with your older child you chose to return with your youngest-and that he is growing with confidence!We are delighted that he has settled in so quickly and built such a strong bond with his key worker. Supporting each child's individual needs is at the heart of what we do, and it is great to know that you find our communication, menu variety, and flexible booking system helpful.We are also pleased that you value our parents' evenings and the opportunity to discuss your child's development in detail. Thank you again for your recommendation.

My son has been coming for nearly a year and we have seen a lot of progress from him. His speech has improved, he has made friendships and the staff have helped us with our toilet training journey.

Overall Experience

My 10-month-old has been at Ashbourne Day Nurseries for nearly 2 months now and has settled in so well. All the staff are friendly and my daughter is happy with all staff and never moans when I drop her off. I feel this is because she is cared for and content in their company. Sometimes when I pick

her up I manage to sneak a look before she sees me and she is always playing just like she does at home which is so comforting knowing she feels safe and happy in her environment.

Reply from Charlotte, Parent Relations Team at Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Leicester Central

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that your daughter has settled in so well with us and feels comfortable and happy in her surroundings, it means the world to our team to know she feels safe and content.

We love this nursery, it stood out from the rest, you are updated on collection, always welcomed inside, the Montessori approach for the older ones is great. A particular member of staff is amazing! We've got 2 children here now ages 1 and 3 and would highly recommend. Another particular member of staff

is amazing with the little ones and the manager is very understanding!

My 2-year-old girl has been here for nearly a year now and she absolutely loves it here. When I first put her into this nursery, I had more anxiety about it than my girl, but the staff were very informative and supportive. Since she has joined, I have seen a quick development in her. The nursery staff

are absolutely lovely down from management to the staff, they are all very welcoming, nurturing and will meet your requirements happily and efficiently.

I think Ashbourne Nursery provides excellent care for babies and toddlers. Wish they could be slightly more flexible when it comes to swapping days if given long notice in case of emergency as a one-off occasion but apart from that I'm very satisfied with the nursery. Proud to see how much my son is

learning while there and how far he developed the skills.

We got admission in September, my daughter is 2 years old and is shy and it took a couple of weeks to settle into a new environment with new people. I was very stressed initially but the staff made a great effort to make her comfortable in a new place which worked. And now after a few months, she is

very happy and made many friends. I would really recommend this nursery as found it very effective in all things that were of my concern.

Amazing staff, they are so friendly, kind and understanding. My 2-year-old son has learnt so much since being at this nursery. They supported with his speech which has made a massive improvement since joining last year. Prior to my son being at Ashbourne Day Nursery he was at another nursery and my

experience with them was a bad experience and I lost trust in leaving my son to go back to work, but Ashbourne staff have shown me not all nurseries are bad, they understand your child as an individual and what support they require.

I would definitely recommend

The staff offer a friendly, caring approach to looking after my children.
My children are aged 7 and 4 now and have been attending from the age of 9 months.
My children never want to leave when I collect them, which tells me they are in a good place; they are currently with the after-school club as

the nursery offers a collection service from selected schools, which is a great addition when you have children of different ages and played a big part in our decision making.

Overall Experience

We have two children in the nursery, the older one being there for more than two years. I remember during lockdown our older one had difficulty with his language and social skills, as soon as he returned to the nursery, his speaking and social skills improved in a very short period of time.
The manager

and staff are very helpful whenever needed; even when we have difficulty with the kids at home, we consult with them, and they are always happy to help.
We used to live close to the nursery when we registered the older child, even though we moved house, we are still happy to drive a few miles and take them to the same nursery.

Overall Experience

We are really glad to have found this place for the education of our child. With my wife being in education, we were already aware of the benefits of the Montessori system, but the child-centred experience has exceeded our initial expectations.
Also, the fact that with both of us not being from the

UK, the management, key worker and rest of the staff have adapted and accommodated our child needs. This also made this nursery our number one option as they clearly promote diversity and inclusion values from the management, staff to the children.
Our little one has improved a lot in her social and communication skills, even if she just does 2-days a week.

Overall Experience

A huge, huge thank you to all of the teachers and staff at Stoneygate Montessori Nursery! I genuinely couldn’t be any happier with our choice of the nursery, as the quality of education and overall care of my 4-year-old son has been nothing short of outstanding. The staff are so warm and welcoming,

and my son happily talks about his teachers each evening and all the fun activities he’s been engaged in! From the moment we visited, we could see how much the staff cared about the children and their learning. The environment (both inside and outside) is set up beautifully to cover different areas of the curriculum, and we’re delighted that he’s being encouraged to prepare for school. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough!
