I am so glad that my husband and I chose this nursery!
I checked out quite a few nurseries when considering where to send my child. I even had the option of a nursery through work which would have been partly subsidised but I didn't like any of them. As soon as I walked into Hazelwood it felt right.
I was given a brilliant induction, being shown around the entire building, explained the break down of the children's day and how they apply educational methodologies to the children's activities and learning. I felt like my child wasn't just being 'babysat' which I had felt at some of the other nurseries I visited.
The entire settling in process was excellent. The staff really understood the child and parent needs (and of course anxieties). My child settled in brilliantly and we got to know all the staff caring for our child.
My child has learned a lot at nursery and we have settled into a great routine. I have no complaints about this nursery at all and would highly recommend it.

I was worried about my child going into a nursery setting, but over the past year she has absolutely loved going in. The staff are so warm and friendly, and always make my child feel welcome. They keep up to date with what is happening in your child's life and are always willing to go the extra mile
to help with any concerns.
Hazelwood is an excellent nursery and I will be sad when my child moves onto school.

Fantastic nursery, both my children have attended there, one still does!
Staff all really welcoming, and show enthusiasm and interest when discussing what your child has done in the day!
My daughter has really grown in every developmental area whilst being at this nursery.
I feel happy and relaxed

My son just left Hazelwood for school, after 3 wonderful years in this Nursery. We are so happy, our daughter will also be joining this nursery soon. Each staff member we have interacted with has been brilliant from babies to the preschool team, office, managers, cooks etc. The whole team are so family
orientated. We felt really welcome from the moment of settling in the nursery at 1 year old. The staff did an amazing job to help him settle and also support me in the transition of back to work and separating from your child. I was reassured he would get a cuddle if he needed it. My son was so happy here, we are sad to leave. Hazelwood is such a fun, engaging, stimulating environment for children with really high standards of care and compassion for your child and your whole family. The communication helps you feel involved in what your child is doing. They support all stages of the children’s learning, give extra support if needed and meet emotional needs. They create real partnerships with parents.

Both my sons attended this wonderful nursery, my youngest is coming to the end of his time at the nursery (he is starting school in September).


To say Hazelwood Nursery is great is a huge understatement! It is such a warm, friendly stimulating and genuinely happy place to be.
I feel so honoured

that both my boys were able to attend here. Without exception every single interaction I have had with the nursery has been positive - they create such a warm and engaging environment for the children to be in and I never have worried about them having a fun, stimulating and educational day here. The aunties are just amazing at what they do and I am honestly so sad that my time and the boys time with them is coming to an end. A few Aunties have all been such positive and supportive people in my life the past 4 years, I will be forever grateful.

Thank you so much for your warm and touching review. We will miss you all in nursery but look forward to hearing all about school.

My son has been attending after school club and holiday club, we are sad his time has come to an end as he is starting high school in September. All the staff are fantastic and so supportive. The staff are very approachable and always make time to discuss anything. My child has been so happy here and
made so many friends. I can't recommend this nursery enough. I alway felt happy knowing my child was safe and well looked after. I love it how the staff include the children to make decisions about holiday club activities and trips. You are all amazing. Thank you all so much for everything!

The owner and the staff of this nursery can't be recommended or thanked enough for all the hard work and effort they put into each and every day for the children. They are so committed to making sure each day is packed full of enjoyable things to do! They have all been extremely influential in my daughter's
learning, confidence and progress in everything that she does and I would not hesitate to recommend this to place to everyone.

I have used the services of Hazelwood for the past 14 years for my two children from nursery stage through to afterschool clubs and at every step of the way they have been excellent. The staff are consistently caring and supportive, and my experiences have all been positive. The settling in process
in those early days was sensitive and reassuring and there has been an excellent range of activities provided for the children across the years. Hazelwood helps to develop rounded, caring and inclusive outlooks in the children they look after and they have played an important part in making my children the confident, happy people they are today.
I would confidently recommend Hazelwood Nursery to anyone and now we have reached the end of the childcare years, we are going to miss them all.

Reply from Paula Kneale at Hazel Tree Montessori

Thank you so much for your review and your support across the 14 years. We share your pride and affection as we too have watched them develop from babies to young people who are caring, confident and extremely capable, ready for the next stage in their life journey. Thank you.

My son 16months has been attending for 2 months. In this short time, I could not be happier. Prior to this, he was with a childminder. We chose a childminder as we wanted him to have personalised and consistent care, a home away from home. However, he was so unhappy. Both there and at home. After this,
I went to lots of childminders but didn't get a good feeling. A friend recommended Hazelwood and thought we would give it a go. The 1st week he cried when I left but his aunties said he enjoyed his day. Now he runs into nursery and doesn't look back, has come on leaps and bounds, he is so happy when I collect him and I can see this at home too, got my happy boy back, he is like a different child! From the aunties to management, they all give such a personalised approach. Words cannot describe how happy we are and although a bigger setting than a childminder we all feel part of the Hazelwood family. We are looking to move house in Nov and our key criteria is to be near Hazelwood as couldn't imagine him anywhere else now. Thank you all!

My daughter has attended this nursery for the past 4 years and I cannot praise this nursery enough. The staff team are always friendly and provide outstanding care and attention. The support they provide for your child and you as a parent is second to none. The whole team works so hard to prepare
your child for their next steps in their learning journey, in a fun and exciting way that children enjoy. My daughter has made so many friends there and has grown in her confidence thanks to the encouragement from the staff team. I am extremely proud to inform people that my daughter attends such an outstanding nursery, confirmed also by their recent Ofsted Outstanding grade. If you are looking for a nursery then look no further, you will find it extremely difficult to find another nursery offering such outstanding activities with an outstanding staff team to match.

The nursery is such a fantastic homely setting, we really couldn't be happier! I have 2 children and my youngest still attends. He has come on in leaps and bounds since starting and I can tell that the planning really reflects both his development and interests and also his next steps. The Aunties are
absolutely amazing and he is always so happy and content around them.
His recent comment sheet was perfect and it's nice to see next steps that we can also reflect on at home. Can't thank you all enough.

Can’t recommend this nursery enough. My son and daughter have both attended since being 8 months old and are now in Hazelwood Schools Out Club which they thoroughly enjoy.
We were instantly made to feel part of the nursery family, and still feel part of it now.

Our son attended nursery up to school age and now attends the Afterschool club. Nursery were fantastic in preparing him for the transition to school. We've been very impressed with the many varied activities the nursery offers. Our son loved his time at nursery and now enjoys attending Afterschool
club. He still fondly talks about his time at nursery.


Our daughter now attends the nursery and the staff have been wonderful in settling her in. She enjoys many varied activities and enjoys trips out in the local community.


We would highly recommend the nursery, we always know that our children are extremely well looked after in their care.

My son has attended Hazelwood nursery for the past three years and I would strongly recommend this nursery to fellow parents. It is a nursery that has a lovely, warm and welcoming feel to it with caring and attentive staff. My son has very much flourished during his time here in relation to all aspects
of his development and especially in areas such as increasing his self-confidence, his emerging knowledge of the world, attention given to phonics, preparation for starting school and developing strong relationships with his peers. He runs into nursery every morning excited about what he will be doing in the action-packed days planned by the staff and the activities are very much reflective of the early years foundation curriculum. In particular, my son is experiencing some difficulties in his developing speech and the staff have been attentive in their assessment of this and have facilitated a referral to appropriate agencies as well as supporting related activities to this during nursery time.

My daughter has been attending Hazelwood since she was 10 months old and is now 4. I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery. It's a wonderfully warm and homely environment.
The nursery offers such a variety of experience and my daughter does so much more in a day at nursery than I could ever offer
at home. The staff are super organised, they treat each child as the individual they are and they work incredibly hard.
My daughter has a great little gang of friends (she includes 'the Aunties' in this) that she has moved through the nursery with, is stimulated and curious and I think that by the time school comes around she will be well prepared (although very reluctant to move on).
The kids eat very well at nursery and get regular fresh air and exercise. My daughter's key workers are stars, obviously know her very well and probably don't realise just how much they support me as well as my daughter! I can't thank them enough for all they have done for us. I will weep when she leaves!

Our son attended Hazelwood nursery 1-2 days a week between 2012 and 2016 (from 9 months old up to school age) and now attends the Planet Vibe club during school holidays. Both facilities are excellent and - in my opinion - the staff are the best in their field. Our son loved the nursery and is always
excited to attend the club. The fact that so many children remain in the nursery right up to school age (rather than transferring to a school nursery) and continue to use its after school/holiday club speaks volumes about how great it is! Hazelwood is really something special. The management and dedicated staff team run a very smooth ship - I'm always so impressed by how well ran and organised it is with excellent safeguarding for the children in their care. I have recommended the nursery & club to many of my friends as I can't speak highly enough of it. We feel very lucky to have such a fantastic facility on our doorstep.

My daughter has attended Hazelwood Nursery since she was 8 months old. The staff always make myself and my daughter so welcome each day she is there. The activities are varied each day based on the EYFS and there are always two activities which are ‘Child initiated’ daily.
We have just attended their
open day which was fantastic. It was so lovely to see some of the activities my daughter would be involved in and you could clearly see the staff ‘Aunties’ work so hard at their jobs and enjoy what they do. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.962)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.962) out of 10 for Hazel Tree Montessori 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 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 4.962 for Hazel Tree Montessori is calculated as follows: ( (254 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.962

  • 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 Hazel Tree Montessori 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, 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.
