  • MMI Day Nursery Croydon, Croydon
MMI nursery and pre-school is a short walk from East Croydon train station. The nursery looks after children between the ages of three months and five years; and offer part-time and full-time places: term-time or for forty eight weeks of the year. The setting is based upon Maria Montessori's principles of independence, freedom within limits and respect for the child's natural psychological, physical and social development. Children learn concepts from working with materials rather than by direct instruction; and are allowed to grow and develop within a prepared environment with professional, trained practitioners. Staff understand that children develop and learn in different ways, at different rates and from babies through toddlers and into pre-school they 'follow the child.'
                                                                

The nursery is currently open for Critical & Keworkers children during this phase of COVID-19.

My daughter was twenty months old when we first started looking around for nurseries. Our first meeting at MMI Day Nursery Croydon was with the manager. Dad and I were very pleased with how clean and tidy the rooms were. Everything was in its place and the nursery felt warm, in a sense that you could
tell the children were well looked after. We met three teachers that were in the playroom. I was very impressed even with the Covid-19 crisis and how much effort the nursery had gone into keeping the playrooms clean, the children safe and not allowing anyone in or out of the nursery. My daughter honestly jumped out of her dad's arms and ran to hold the manager's hand to see what the other children were doing. The week of November we dropped her off for a taster day. I worried the whole time leaving her. When we went to pick her up she did not want to come home, she really loved it. I cannot say enough about all of her teachers, they are absolutely wonderful and really look after her. I recommend MMI Day Nursery Croydon to all parents.

I have been taking my daughter to MMI Day Nursery Croydon for the last nearly two years. I am very happy with everything! Teachers, director, finance team and all the MMI Day Nursery Croydon family! Including all the rooms and set ups that they have for our little ones. The nursery manager joined last
year, end of 2020 and I cannot be more happy with the way she has been managing the nursery, taking in account that has been a pretty tough year for everyone with Covid-19. Her support and flexibility has been great! Our daughter loves going to nursery every day and we know she is safe and having fun every day. Highly recommended.

How 'wand'-erful. We aim to make learning fun creative so it's magical to hear that you have experienced this and you are happy with how we manage the nursery. It has been a great pleasure. Thank you for your review.

My eldest went to MMI Day Nursery Croydon, now she is ten years old and I have now have my other two children ages two and three attending. The staff are friendly, helpful and always willing to help and advise. I am very particular with how my children are looked after and they always satisfy my kids
needs and mine. My son in particular has additional needs and they cater for him exceptionally, I can go on about my day knowing my children are well looked after, fed and cared for. My children love their school and have developed greatly since attending. MMI Day Nursery Croydon pay attention to detail and inform me of everything about my child, an amazing nursery, I highly recommend!

Our twenty month old daughter has been going to this nursery for the past twelve months and we couldn't be happier. The staff and teachers are excellent and our daughter's development over the past twelve months has been remarkable. Going from screaming on her first settling in day, she now runs out
the door when we mention nursery and clearly enjoys going. We have complete confidence in the teachers looking after our daughter and we've never had an issue in twelve months. Our son will be starting in a couple of months and we are very relieved that he has a place there. We would definitely recommend this nursery to any parents.

This is the perfect recommendation when parent/carer chooses MMI preschool again for their next child! Thank you for taking the time to write this sparkling review.

Our daughter has been attending this nursery since last summer. During that time she has settled in well and developed a lot in terms of speech and language. The nursery have also helped develop her understanding of the world around her and she is learning a lot every day. The staff are very professional,
attentive and give regular feedback including daily reports of what she has been up to, including specific observations and milestones. In short, we are very impressed with the nursery and would highly recommend it. Most important of all, our daughter loves attending and looks forward to it every day!

Reply from Aleksandra Garaloska, Manager at MMI Day Nursery Croydon

We are so happy to hear that your daughter is always excited to come and enjoy all the fun learning we do every day. We are proud of our team who work really hard to bring a smile to your daughter's face and help her progress in her learning. We will try not to fail and bring more happiness to her days at MMI.

My daughter joined MMI Day Nursery Croydon just before Christmas when she was seventeen months old. Due to Covid-19 I wasn't allowed on site for settling-in sessions but the nursery staff were so reassuring that I felt comfortable, although sad, leaving her. The rooms are spacious and well-structured
and the staff are completely dedicated to shaping the children into inquisitive, confident and knowledgeable little people. My daughter is thriving, she's learnt practical skills such as tidying and feeding herself, her communication and speech skills surprise me every day and she brings back home lots of goodies she creates. You are kept in the loop with the day's activities via an app that is updated on collection of your child. My daughters time at the nursery has been an absolute triumph, she practically skips through the door every day and she just loves it so much. Thank you to the team for being so brilliant!

My preschooler son attends MMI Day Nursery Croydon since he was fifteen months old. He has been under the care of staff in all the three age-appropriate rooms at MMI Day Nursery Croydon. such as the baby, toddler and now preschool room. All of which are spacious and well-managed. I am very happy with
the way he has grown to be a well-rounded happy preschooler. MMI Day Nursery Croydon has helped him settle well into all rooms, especially the baby room in the very beginning. We did have a lengthy and difficult settling in period and MMI Day Nursery Croydon did their best to help us and it worked. He considers the staff as his friends and genuinely connects with them, I have high regards for them. I admire the Montessori principles even more after my experience with MMI Day Nursery Croydon. I feel the children are more free to make choices and learn in an organic manner, rather than imposed. The staff are well trained to look after the children, teach them and they have appropriately trained staff for first aid. The food provided is really good and my son loves the lunch.

Reply from Aleksandra Garaloska, Manager at MMI Day Nursery Croydon

Thank you so much for your kind words. You have been so supportive during all this year. We love having your child in preschool.
Thank you
Aleks

MMI Day Nursery is extremely accommodating and they take great care of the kids. There was no day when my child came home unwilling to go back, she enjoyed being with the carers and had loads of fun everyday. The management is very helpful to consider requests from parents and they never reject anything
without a proper consideration.

We had a great time in MMI Croydon. Our eldest son has just graduated after spending 3 years at the nursery. And our smallest will continue attending for the next few years.
Positives of this place are:
Very kind staff, attentive to the child, very personal approach.
There's a big garden that children
spend a lot of time in, during summer hot weather they even set up paddling pool
Children have an optional opportunity to still have naps in a special quiet, calm room.
Very convenient location - just a 5 min walk from the train station
The children have developed a lot and we made great friends that we will still keep in touch after graduating from MMI Croydon.
I would definitely recommend MMI Croydon.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.828)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.828) out of 10 for MMI Day Nursery Croydon is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.828 for MMI Day Nursery Croydon is calculated as follows: ( (220 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 261 Ratings = 4.828

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for MMI Day Nursery Croydon is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
