We have been using this nursery for approx 8 years now. Whilst there have been lots of changes they are all for the better and the desire to constantly improve an already outstanding setting. The environment is clean, modern and bright. The atmosphere is calm and purposeful and the work cycle activities
are well thought out and relevant to the needs of the children based in that room. The staff are extremely professional and considerate. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this nursery to any potential parents.

When I was looking for a nursery for my son, there was no doubt where I wanted him to go after reading about Holly Tree Montessori. They have exceeded my expectations from their excellent reputation. My son loves going to nursery and is always super happy when he is there. He is very well cared for
and engages in lots of fun learning activities. The nursery has top facilities, including a well resourced indoor and outdoor space including a sensory room which my son loves! We are vegetarian and all meals are varied and nutritious. Staff are outstanding and in my experience go above and beyond what is expected. Each day, pictures/videos are uploaded to the private Facebook group where I can see what my son is up to in the day. I’ve reserved a place for my baby already to attend Holly Tree! Thank you Holly Tree x

I’ve always found the staff to be friendly and professional. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, I have little experience of seeing first hand the facilities but I am regularly updated by email with new activities added to my child’s room. I appreciated the feedback given at the parent's evening and was given
lots of information on provisions put in place to help my child develop. I’m very satisfied with the level of care and communication provided by Holly Tree Montessori.

Our second child is currently attending Holly Tree Montessori. I love the place and have referred lots of friends to them, and they all love the place too. I like the fact that the classes aren't huge, they are nice and small, so not overwhelming for the child, and the staff can spend more quality time
with them. All the staff know all the children. The nursery has been really accommodating if I ever need extra days, and really supportive if we need extra help. I don't think we could have got any better. Both my children have had a great start and will be leaving full of confidence and independence and ready for school.

Holly Tree Montessori is a fantastic nursery! They were there for my son who is now 8-years old and my daughter currently attends and is starting school in September. They have been so well looked after and have thrived! They learn so easily and organically with the Montessori method. The settling in
process is very good as well. I'm always kept up to date with the online app system, and it's lovely to see what they've been up to. I almost wish I had a third child to send here as it's going to be very sad when my daughter finishes this year!

My daughter started last year in the baby room and is now in C2. She absolutely loves coming to nursery and has come on so much, she mastered the Montessori coat flip before the age of two! The resources and experiences she takes part in are so beneficial to her learning. A fantastic nursery!

Our daughter is thriving at Holly Tree Montessori Nursery particularly after lockdown. She is excited to talk to us about her day at nursery and has built some amazing friendships. The staff are excellent and always available to answer any questions. I believe communication to be key and this has
always impressed me. Keep up the great work.

I can't praise Holly Tree Montessori enough. We found Holly Tree Montessori when searching for a Montessori specific nursery local to our home/work. He started in the baby room nearly a year and a half ago and settled within a matter of hours. The staff are warm and friendly, and encourage little ones
to explore their interests in detail through 'work cycle'. My little boy literally runs into nursery every day. He has genuine, close bonds with his key workers and we get regular, detailed updates on his development. We also can keep track of how he's getting on during the day through pictures on the private Facebook group - often messy and sensory play that my little one loves. Food is well prepared in house too and often my little one will have several servings in one sitting. Working full time, it's really important to me that my children are in a setting that will not only challenge them and help them grow, but somewhere that feels like a home from home. Holly Tree Montessori is the ideal setting for this!

Our daughter started at Holly Tree Montessori at the age of 10 months and they did a fab job of helping her settle in after the tricky lockdown period in which she hadn't been around many other children (or indeed many people outside the immediate family). It's great to see updates throughout the day
on the private Facebook group and to have more structured updates via Tapestry also. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and seem to really know our daughter and understand how she responds to different learning opportunities and challenges. Also the food sounds way better than what we manage to make at home!

My daughter has been at Holly Tree Montessori since May 2019 and will be leaving at the end of August to head off to big school. The years at Holly Tree Montessori have been one of the best decisions we have made for her. Although the youngest in the year, we feel she is more than ready for the next
big step of starting school. They’ve worked so hard to ensure she is prepared for what the next stage will bring, while still being incredibly caring and a home from home for her. Our choice to send her to Holly Tree will be one of the starts we could have given to her and will miss everyone there when she leaves in August.

Our experience with Holly Tree Montessori has been extremely positive. Since attending, my daughter has come on leaps and bounds. Her days include a great combination of structured and fun activities, which always have a real-life application. The staff are friendly and professional and offer feedback
and updates regularly. We would certainly recommend Holly Tree Montessori to any other parents looking for childcare.

Our son had been struggling, both emotionally and mentally at his previous nursery but we hadn’t realised just how much until he’s been cared for by Holly Tree Montessori. What has been a difficult start, is now blossoming into wonderful progress and the light in our son is starting to shine for all
to see. We have the team work with us so that our son receives 100-percent support and the staff listens to us and to what our son needs. There’s mutual respect, with is very much appreciated.

My little boy has attended this nursery since he was nine months old and he absolutely loves it. He has progressed so much over the last two years and it is thanks to the staff at Holly Tree Montessori. They always plan thoughtful activities and follow the child's interests. This last month has been
difficult as my son has struggled with adapting to preschool, with it being a much bigger class. The staff have taken the time to ensure he settles well, by creating a bear hunt display near the entry of the room that he could engage with and make going to the room more fun. They also made sure he interacted with the children by taking "travelling ted" home so he could come to preschool with stories about his adventures. Four weeks later and he loves preschool! No more tears. I'm so happy we chose Holly Tree Montessori.

I cannot speak highly enough of Holly Tree Montessori. They have helped manage the stressful time of settling a child in nursery so well and my daughter now loves every second of nursery. The activities they plan for the children are thoughtful and varied and we can really see the development in our
child's confidence since going.

Our daughter started at age 1 and after lockdown I felt very upset at the thought of her starting nursery and that our bubble was ending. We had a few questions and queries that were professionally and efficiently handled by the manager, we found her to be extremely approachable and understanding in
our situation and concerns we had at the time. She made us feel at ease and went above and beyond in making us feel comfortable. We find the whole team at Holly Tree Montessori warm and welcoming, they develop a strong rapport with parents and in turn we then feel confident in their ability to deliver a very high and consistent level of childcare. We wouldn't send our daughter anywhere else.

My daughter has attended Holly Tree Montessori Nursery from just turning three, having never been in a childcare setting before, and now is almost ready to start primary school.


From her first day both her and, her parents have loved it.


Her progression has been incredible to see, the nursery

staff are all lovely, the communication is outstanding and I feel she has been safe with excellent covid policies and procedures throughout the pandemic.


I would thoroughly recommend the Montessori approach to learn and feel all the staff at the nursery are experts in this.


We will all be sad for her to leave but Holly Tree Montessori could not have prepared her better for the transition to full time education.

My son loves coming to Holly Tree. He has settled in really well. I love seeing pictures of him on their Facebook page smiling all the time. They always seem to be doing so much with the children promoting their development. The staff have worked really hard after lockdown to ensure the health of our
children and so far they’ve had no problems with Covid which is fantastic. 5* nursery and I always recommend them to friends. Thank you.

Holly Tree Montessori does exactly what it says on the tin. From the moment your child walks into the building they are greeted by all staff with a welcoming smile.
The set up is brilliant. They provide as much information as they can throughout the day on the activities the children are engaged in
via FB posts and the app. It really makes you feel like you are involved in their day seeing how much they are enjoying it!
My son started in Sept aged 14 months, after only a few sessions he confidently walked in. He thrives in the Montessori environment and has learnt to transfer the skills learnt in to his activities at home. He has grown in confidence in such a short period. The staff are extremely friendly and informative, no question is too small, all whilst adhering to Covid guidelines. The home school diary helps us keep on top of what he has eaten (usually everything with seconds too!) and how often his nappies have been changed as well as what he's enjoyed that day.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.955)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.955) out of 10 for Holly 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 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.955 for Holly Tree Montessori is calculated as follows: ( (366 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 382 Ratings = 4.955

  • 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 Holly Tree Montessori is based on 32 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 42 number of registered child places is 8.4, which has been reached with 32 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.
