Walton Montessori offers a child-friendly environment for two to five-year-olds, which follows the Montessori Philosophy of encouraging independent learning.

Each child has their own targets, which they work towards with support from qualified Early Years practitioners. At Walton Montessori Pre-School they also follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) which is an early years curriculum for children from birth to five-years-old. Children are all assigned a key person and will be taught individually by all the motivated staff across both rooms.

Every member of staff is passionate about child development and work at Walton Montessori for the love of their profession. Staff try and instil a caring, stimulating environment where the children can feel happy and will naturally learn from their experiences. peers and adults.

Children's learning is individually tailored to what they are able to do and the team are constantly challenging the children's abilities, ensuring they are ready to move on to their next big step in learning when they transition to reception class at primary school.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My daughter has been going to Stagecoach Montessori since earlier this summer and settled in straight away - to the point where she doesn't say goodbye at drop off and doesn't want to come home at pick up! Laura and her team are so caring and their genuine enthusiasm and interest in the children shines
through. I've also been extremely impressed with the Montessori methods of learning-through-play and feel that my daughter will be well prepared for reception next year following her time at Stagecoach. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to others looking for a nurturing environment that enriches their children's lives and encourages their development in a gentle but considered way.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.825)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.825) out of 10 for Walton Montessori Nursery 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.825 for Walton Montessori Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (140 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.825

  • 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 Walton Montessori Nursery is based on 14 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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2, which has been reached with 14 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: Nursery Manager and SENCo

Joined: 2018

I have been working in Early Years for over 23 years, I have a level 5 in Early Years and am also Forest School trained. I have a passion for teaching in the early years and seeing how children learn and develop in their first stage of life is so important and of course supporting parents in all stages of the early years. I am also SENCo trained and support any additional. We as a team are like a family I work closely in all rooms and support staff with teaching methods with my knowledge.

Maria Orji

Job Title: Nursery Manager Under Threes

I consider myself a committed, creative, and enthusiastic educator who believes in making learning fun for children. My 21 years’ experience in schools and nurseries has taught me that parents are children’s first educators, making communication with them vital to children’s learning and development. I am passionate about providing a stimulating and natural learning environment for children; especially considering the nature deficit created because of lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic. Over the years, I have developed the leadership skills crucial to inspiring and motivating teams into working together to create an ethos of quality, learning, care, and development for all children.
