Monton Village Nursery provides professional childcare whatever your need; nurturing and supporting every child to help them become happy, secure and confident learners.

Staff treat every child as an individual and work hard to meet their personal needs along their own unique developmental journey. They have a bright, energetic and well-qualified team, who care for the children they look after and seek to provide the very best for every child. They understand the value of smiles, laughter and cuddles in your child’s day – and offer it by the bucket load!

At Monton Village Nursery they are passionate about early education, providing enabling environments, stimulating activities and a dedicated childcare team to help give your child the best possible start across all aspects of learning.

Monton Village Nursery has recently developed their very own Forest School - with two of their staff; Miss Pearson and Miss Farnworth becoming qualified Forest School Leaders! As a nursery they love more than being outdoors! They have 4 large, individual outdoor spaces; including the Forest School! Forest School offers children the opportunity to achieve and develop their confidence and self-esteem.

Children are encouraged to thrive and be themselves by following their own interests; whether that is being loud and energetic being dinosaurs in the outdoor provision or quiet and concentrated at a focused activity developing early writing skills. There is always the opportunity to explore, investigate and discover something new!

Lots of parents join the nursery based on the excellent word of mouth in the local area and via personal recommendations from those already attending. They believe this speaks volumes to the excellent level of care provided. However, nothing beats getting the feel of a place and seeing the nursery on a normal, busy day – so why not book a visit and see what they do for yourselves!

My little girl has been here since she was 9 months old and she'll be leaving to start reception in September. We've been so lucky to have chosen Monton Village Nursery and Forest School, every single person that has looked after her feels like they've become a member of the family and I'm already really
sad at the thought of leaving. The care, love and attention they've given her has been incredible and she's thrived educationally as well. She teaches me something new every day! I can't thank them enough and would definitely recommend to others.

We have both our children here from 9 months old, we've kept our eldest here until reception age as we were more than happy her educational needs were being more than met and the early mornings and late evenings meet our needs for working hours. The rooms are lovely and light with separate garden areas
for outside play, there are lots of different areas within each room for different areas of development with lots of messy play and the topics for education are brilliant. Pre school have just finished space and now learning about the world, they can all write independently and have actually written their very own novels! The staff are friendly and approachable and easy to build a rapport with. Above all the bond and trust both our children have with the staff there is something else. We 100% recommend Monton Village Nursery and Forest School and will be so sad for our child to leave come summer.

Such a fantastic nursery. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for their baby's nursery. So happy we made such a good choice. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable, the meals are nutritional, the play activities set up are highly educational and my little boy always has so much fun learning
and playing. We are very happy with all the care and attention he receives on a daily basis and nothing has been to much to ask since he started, medication is always given correct times when needed, extra days added on it needed, etc.

I couldn’t recommend Monton Village more. Our son has been there since he was ten months old and the staff there have become part of our family.
Our son has additional needs and they have gone above and beyond to help adapt the space for him and ensure he isn’t left behind.
He runs out every day
with the biggest smile on his face, he absolutely loves it.
We wanted a nursery that would focus on fun mostly but also on learning and development, which Monton does to an exceptional level.
I’m already excited to send my future children there.

Monton Village is an excellent nursery setting. The staff are nurturing, caring and loving towards both the children in their care and their families.
Staff plan exciting and developmentally appropriate activities for children responding to their interests and their needs. My son is thriving under
their care.
The room leaders are experienced and my son's key person has remained consistent for most of his time at the nursery (he's been at nursery for eighteen months now) she has taken so much time to get to know my son and is truly one of his favourite people!
The nursery have a sensible stance on fees, uniform and illness and comparatively to friends with children elsewhere, we have found their policies flexible and well-considered.
We couldn't recommend the nursery enough.

My daughter absolutely loves nursery, which makes us feel so happy about sending her there. Every time we pull up she has the biggest smile on her face, and most times runs in without barely saying goodbye. We keep up to date of what she is up to via the app and CCTV. As well as a chat with her teachers
upon pickup. She has come on so much since starting in April 2022 and all the staff we have come across so far have been amazing. I would highly recommend.

Monton have been an exceptional home for home for both of my babies from a very young age. They have adapted to my growing needs with ease and have been there to support my children and I every step of the way - from supporting my breastfeeding/expressing nursery journey to teaching my children to recognise
their name and count to 10 and beyond. It is hard leaving your children somewhere whilst you go to work - but I have never once doubted or regretted my decision. The staff genuinely adore children and relish in their company. They know my children almost better than myself and have been there to celebrate every success with me through the years. The staff are fun and lively and invested - they make the best playmates for the children whilst still providing the nurture and support that they need to grow both socially and academically. I have loved my experience as a Monton parent - and more importantly I know that my children have loved their time as a child at Monton - thank you!

Our son had a rocky start to life in the nursery as he was born in the pandemic and was not used to socialising with anyone other than his parents. The staff were very attentive to his needs and gave us regular updates about his progress. Now he absolutely loves going in, especially Mondays when music
and movement are there. He is very attached to the staff in his room and is very settled, which is a huge relief for us. He is about to go up to the next age group, and we are very comfortable with that.

The activities they put together on a daily basis are great and there are always updates and pictures on the app so you can see

Our son loves going to the baby room at Monton Nursery, as soon as he sees where he is he gets so excited. It's so lovely to see as it shows how much he loves going and makes us feel more at ease leaving him. So glad we picked Monton.
The staff are amazing with all the babies, how they interact with
them is fab. The activities they set up for the babies are amazing and I love looking at the pictures when I'm at work seeing what he's been up to.
Just can't fault the staff or the nursery. Highly recommended which I have done and now a couple of friends' babies now attend.

Since starting at Monton Village Nursery in the baby room my son has settled in extremely well and has transitioned right the way through the nursery into the Pre School room. At around 2 years of age it became apparent that my son had additional needs. Throughout this process which has been very difficult
to take in parents, the staff at Monton Village Nursery have supported us in heading in the right direction to get the help he needs. We honestly can not thank them all enough for providing outstanding care and being with us every step of the way.

We love Morton Village Nursery just as much as our son since the very first day we were made to feel so welcome and became part of the nursery family! A wonderful mix of activities across all age groups - I don’t know how they think of so many! Love the newsletter which includes news and any special
events for the month, shame we’ve not been able to join in through the pandemic but we get to see the fun and learning being had through Tapestry which they’re fabulous at keeping up to date so we don’t miss out!!
All staff are amazing, we couldn’t wish for better love and care for our boy, our next child will definitely be going to Monton Village Nursery! We love you and thank you so much!

My daughter is now in preschool and has attended the nursery since she was 13 months old. She absolutely loves coming to nursery and I’m sure she would go on Saturday and Sunday too if she could! My son has just started in younger squirrels a few months ago and has settled really well which is great
considering the new rules with covid meaning we can only drop the children at the door and not to their rooms like we used to. Keep up the good work!

My daughter has been at Monton Village since she was 8 months old. She now is in the preschool getting ready to her move to primary school. The staff have always shown great care and attention for all her needs from when she was a baby to the little person she has now become. They have been fundamental
in her development and encouraging her to the best of her ability. All staff members are approachable and will support with all concerns how big or small. They show genuine care and consideration to her as if she was their own. From the first visit, I knew that this is where I wanted my little girl to be. I have not been disappointed and it fills me with absolute joy as she recounts her day and shares the amazing experiences with me. I would highly recommend Monton Village to anyone looking at a safe, inspiring and caring space for their child.

My son has been here since he was 8 months old, he is now 2 and a half. I’ve watched him grow into an independent, confident and talented little boy.
The staff are always smiling and friendly and take time to talk to me about my child's day in detail. The staff are always there to listen to any concerns
or questions I have and are always supportive Throughout the pandemic the staff have been incredible, I cannot thank each and every one of them enough for their hard work and dedication to being there for my child when I had to work and couldn’t be there.
One of the things that drew me to Monton Village was that children can be children. My child gets messy, dirty, covered in paint and all sorts and has the best time when he’s there. This includes inside and outside play.
I couldn’t ask for a better start for my child and highly recommend to anyone I know looking for a nursery.
Thanks for everything Monton Village, you are all amazing!

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.051)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.051) out of 10 for Monton Village Nursery and Forest School 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Monton Village Nursery and Forest School is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.051 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monton Village Nursery and Forest School is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 99 number of registered child places is 19.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.8 = 0.051

  • 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.
