Absolute Angels Montessori Nursery
Christ Church, Wesley Hall, 15 Stoneham Street, Coggeshall,
Colchester
CO6 1TT
Fees 2024/ 2025:
Morning session 9.00am – 12.30pm £32 per session.
Nursery day 9.00am – 3.00pm £52 per day (children bring a packed lunch).
Full day 8.00am – 6.00pm £79.50 per day (children bring a packed lunch and we provide breakfast and a light tea).
Early morning care runs from 8.00am to 9.00am at £7.50 including breakfast and you can extend the day from 3.00pm until 5.00pm for £15.00 per session or to 6.00pm for £25.00 per session including a light tea.
Unlike some other nurseries we operate on a termly basis with the option to choose the length of day that suits your family. Some children come for a combination of mornings & shorter days, others come for full days and there is plenty of flexibility to match your childcare needs. Each term is between 11-13 weeks and the daily costs above are what you are paying for those weeks. We also operate a holiday club so children can come on a full time basis but for lots of families they use the holiday club as required and love the fact they are not paying for a service they don't always need especially if their older children are on school holidays.
The public carpark, which is free, is conveniently located directly behind Absolute Angels with access via the left hand turning on Stoneham Street at the Library. Parking is also available on the other side of Stoneham Street Monday to Friday (excluding Thursdays for Coggeshall market).
Absolute Angels Montessori Nursery has a Review Score of 10 (9.958) out of 10, based on 20 reviews in the last 2 years. Over all time Absolute Angels Montessori Nursery has 58 reviews.

The Review Score of 10 (9.958) out of 10 for Absolute Angels Montessori Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.958 for Absolute Angels Montessori Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (231 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.958
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 Absolute Angels Montessori Nursery is based on 20 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 38 number of registered child places is 7.6, which has been reached with 20 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.

Job Title: Owner
Joined: 1999
Diploma, EYP, QTS, Montessori Schools Association (MSA)
After a wide ranging career that spanned fashion and entertainment, as soon as I came in to contact with Montessori education, I was hooked. By April 1999, I first opened the doors of Absolute Angels to children and subsequently we have created pre Nursery Little Treasure Classes & Baby Massage courses in Coggeshall.
I have felt incredibly privileged to witness the amazing development of the many, many children who have attended Absolute Angels.
In recognition of almost 20 years dedication to early years and primary education, unerring peer support across the country, and simple exemplary practice, I received the prestigious Outstanding Contribution to the Montessori Community Award in March 2018.
Over the years I have also trained and continue to do so, hundreds of Montessori practitioners through our training company Hands On Learning both in early years and primary Montessori training courses.
Job Title: Nursery Manager
Joined: 2004
Montessori International Diploma.
I followed in the footsteps of my two sons, who both came to Absolute Angels before I did. (They are now 23 and 21.)
When I first started working at the Nursery, I didn’t really intend to do any training, but I was so fascinated by the Montessori approach to education that I decided to find out more.
I was awarded my Early Childhood Teaching Diploma in June 2008. I have worked here for sixteen years, and have been Nursery Manager for eight.
Although I enjoy my mainly office-based job, I love getting the chance to spend time in the classroom with the children.
Job Title: Key Worker
Joined: 2014
Key Worker
My two children attended Absolute Angels from two years of age, and ever since, I have had an interest in the Montessori philosophy.
I decided to train in 2014 and obtained my level 2 Montessori Foundation certificate and joined the team in the same year. In 2019 I joined the Level 4 Montessori scheme which I hope to complete in December this year.
Working at Absolute Angels is always inspiring and fun, and the children teach us something new every day.
Job Title: Key Worker
Joined: 2011
Montessori Level 4 Qualification
I joined Absolute Angels in 2018 having previously worked in another Montessori Nursery Setting. I have a real passion for Montessori and have a Level 4 qualification. As well as working in the Angels team I also help with School’s Out both in term time and running the holiday clubs.
Job Title: Nursery Adminstrator
Joined: 2016
Katie works alongside Carole in the office three days a week.
I first became interested in the Montessori philosophy when I was fortunate enough to undertake my work experience at Absolute Angels during its first year of opening. During this time I was amazed at how effective the methods were, and enjoyed seeing the children in a classroom that let them be free to succeed and learn without restriction or criticism.
When I left school I stayed within the learning and development field, working as a Training Manager for the Probation Service for many years. However, I always hoped that one day I would be able to have a career that involved Montessori teaching in some way.
When a job came up at Absolute Angels in 2016, I applied straight away and was fortunate enough to start working in new my position in August 2016. My main role is in the office, supporting the Nursery Manager with the day to day running of the nursery. I also help in the classroom with the children, as well as running the breakfast club and School’s Out After School and Holiday Clubs. I love the variety my role brings and enjoy the interaction with the children every day.
I completed my Level 2 Montessori Early Years Classroom Assistant qualification in May 2017.
Job Title: Bursar
Joined: 2009
I have been acting in the role of Bursar for Absolute Angels Nursery for over 10 years. I enjoy being part of the team and helping with the continual success of the growing business.
Both my sons attended Absolute Angels Nursery and it really is such a happy, positive and enthusiastic place both for staff and all the children.
