My son has been attending Prima Montessori one long day a week since October 2020. He was initially reluctant to go in but the carers were very patient and understanding of him. Before long, he was happily going in every week and chatting about his week. As a first-time Mum, I was nervous about leaving
him but my son has thrived since attending Prima. He has gained so much confidence around other people and I love how the carers pay particular attention to the current interests of the child. He quite often comes home in a change of clothes because he’s had so much fun doing messy play or digging in the garden; things I encourage. He also often comes home singing songs that he has learned or surprising me with new words. The team is always happy to answer any queries or concerns and I have full confidence in their care. I will definitely be enrolling my second child when the time is right.

My grandson ages 2, has been attending Prima Montessori for the past year, I often do the collection and find all staff to be very helpful and friendly, they give so much information about his day it makes me feel like I’ve been there with him. He learns and seems to have so much fun on nursery days,
he always comes out happy and contented. Thank you to all the lovely staff for fulfilling his days and being so happy and caring.

My 3-year-old son has been going for 12 months now and loves it. Before lockdown, he settled so quickly and the staff were brilliant with him as he has a speech delay and didn't like leaving me.
Fast forward after lockdown and he was starting to talk, but still not at the same level as his peers.
He went back to nursery and again settled in the first few weeks, in his new room, with new carers and with all the changes.
This really shows how great the staff are, that even with the 6 month break and huge differences, he was able to just fall back into the routine and enjoy being back with carers that really do care and playing with other children.
Nursery has 100% played a huge role in helping him to talk and communicate. The skills he is learning there are so important for his development.
He's gone from a quiet toddler to a confident little boy.
Can't wait to send his little sister there.

I have been sending my daughter to Prima Montessori for over a year now and I couldn’t recommend them enough. My daughter has grown in so many ways since attending and I always feel like, most importantly, she’s liked by all staff. As a mother that was so important to me. I’m a teacher myself and it’s
such a joy to hear her speech develop so clearly (massively down to the support from nursery) and her context of ‘life’ become so clear and definite. She understands so many things which I know I haven’t had the opportunity to teach her. The team at Prima are welcoming, cheerful and completely engaged with the parents and this is probably why I have never heard a bad word about this nursery.
I want to thank everyone who plays any part of this nursery from catering, key workers and management, it’s an absolute pleasure to send my child and know she’s so well cared for.

I am very happy with the service/care they give, be nice if the app can be updated as it used to be. I’m not sure if it’s because he has changed his hours etc but, don't get the updates that I use to get before lockdown. You do update with the activities done, but I’m not sure if he does them all and
how he is developing as he does struggle with his speech, so he doesn’t always communicate about his day etc. Other than that really happy with everything.

Reply from Andy Morris, Chairman at Prima Montessori & Day Nursery

Dear Samantha, thank you so much for your lovely comments about Prima nursery. I understand there have been a few problems with the communications app, this was addressed with further staff training, and I hope this has improved greatly for you - do let us know if we can be of any further help. Due to Covid-19, the restrictions of face-to-face update contact with parents has been challenging, but we are going to be offering a parents evening next month so that you are able to come in and talk to the staff about your son's progress - I hope you are able to make this, alternatively we can offer a Teams Call online should you prefer. The team at Prima are doing a fantastic job, their care and nurture for all the children shine through, and I am very proud of each and every one of them. It is of great comfort to me that you are extremely happy with the care we provide for your child and that they feel safe, happy and healthy every day in the nursery. With warm wishes

Our son has only been with Prima for a couple of months, but we've noticed a huge positive change in his development since joining from another nursery in the area. We had a few separation issues initially, which the staff have approached in a caring and positive manner to reassure him to now feel really
comfortable and settled here. The daily log is a really informative tool, and we're able to see all aspects of his day which is fantastic. Overall, a really lovely nursery and the staff are brilliant.

Our son has been attending Prima for 10 months since he 11 months old, and he was made to feel welcome and he quickly settled in. The staff genuinely care for the children and make themselves extremely accessible and available to discuss everything from nappies to development. The staff made it very
personable and always come across as enthusiastic and motivated. Owing to Covid, the nursery has clearly adopted strict guidelines and cleaning, which is reassuring. My wife and I both feel our son is genuinely cared for and loved whilst at Prima, which is extremely reassuring and we wouldn’t want it any other way. Our son treats it as his only little activity filed home. Thank you, team.

I could not be happier with The Montessori Nursery. The staff are consistent, caring and focused on providing children with the best possible learning environment. Both my girls have attended. My youngest talks of wonderful experiences and her best friends which consist both of children and grown-ups.
We have seen her progress with her creativity, numbers and knowledge. I love the creative approach they use to help children learn including their social and emotional development. She loves her days there and tells us it’s lots of fun. I will be sad when it’s her time to leave, but confident she’ll be ready for the next stage in her education.

All three of my children have attended Prima, with my youngest currently in his last year there at the moment. I truly believe the nurturing learning environment has given my older two a great start to their primary educational journey. All three have happily told me about their days at pickup or shown
me with pride their creations they’ve made that day. I believe the low turnover of staff demonstrates a setting where the team are happy. I have had to have discussions about the various ‘phases’ my children have gone through and the staff have always listened, allowing us to come to a joint decision on going forward. Just a lovely setting that I would recommend to anyone, with no hesitation.

My child has been with Prima since she was six months old. I have to say, after looking at a variety of nurseries beforehand, when walking into Prima I instantly felt welcome by every member of staff; I knew my child would be well looked after, safe and feel secure by everyone and she still is today.
Each member knows my daughter and always goes out of their way to say hello to her when she arrives for her day sessions. Every member of staff is lovely and so caring which is what makes my daughter love her nursery. My daughter is supported in her learning with new and exciting activities set for her to learn, they are engaging and fun. I am notified on a daily basis about her learning, what she has eaten, sleeping times and what she has enjoyed about her day. I love Prima, I love the staff and most of all I love how happy my daughter is.

My daughter aged 3 currently attends Prima Montessori and she absolutely loves it. She went to a different nursery before Prima, and we can honestly see such a difference in her learning ability as well as her confidence. The children do interactive fun activities (which parents are notified about with
lovely pictures and updates) and it is always something different. The staff are lovely and you are always greeted with a smile. Thank you for all the staff's effort and time. It really goes a long way to show the quality of the nursery.

Prima is a lovely nursery. The staff are really friendly and make time to get to know the children and their families. My daughter has attended since January 2020 when she was 11 months, and I was worried about leaving her to go back to work but the staff at Prima were amazing, so reassuring and I soon
stopped worrying! Their communication with parents is really good too. I drop her off now knowing she will be well cared for by lovely staff, and she always has a brilliant day. They do loads of fun messy play with the children that not many parents want to do at home, which is a bonus too! Could not recommend the nursery highly enough to anyone who is looking.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.952)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.952) out of 10 for Prima Montessori & Day 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 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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 4.952 for Prima Montessori & Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (423 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 442 Ratings = 4.952

  • 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 Prima Montessori & Day Nursery is based on 37 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 112 number of registered child places is 22.4, which has been reached with 37 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.
