It's the best decision we've made moving our 2 year old son to the Ashley Cross Montessori. He settled immediately and asks to go there every morning! In a short time we are already noticing how much it is accelerating his overall development. We have one very happy boy!

I would highly recommend this nursery, the staff are not only caring, friendly and approachable but they always give an in-depth report on my daughters day, especially with development skills etc.
Most importantly, she adapted very quickly to her new environment which is open and spacious. In fact,
I rarely receive a wave goodbye now as she just runs in!

This is my second child to attend Montessori. They both love it. The staff are very caring and approachable and have always made me feel welcome. The manager has and still is a great listener. I was very happy to have her morning conversations back in my life again after a two year gap!! The facilities
are lovely, light and spacious and above all there always seem to be a calmness about the place.

As soon as we walked in to Ashley Cross Montessori, I knew I wanted my daughter to spend her most important years of her life there. So welcoming, calm and nurturing, the staff, the other children and the space combine to give an experience that I have not seen anywhere else. My daughter learned to
much about how to integrate into a community, how to set boundaries, how to make confident and correct choices and she learnt about the world we live in using the unsurpassed Montessori principles. Attending Ashley Cross Montessori has given my daughter the best start in life. Thank you!

Our son has attended this nursery for two years now and he has been very happy there. It was the perfect place to support the ideals, values and independence we have been teaching him at home. The staff are very friendly and have guided our son in a lovely way to be himself and to be independent. They
have been fantastic in helping him to acquire new skills in a fun and non-pressured way. Altogether a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere where the needs of the child come first. Great place.

I am so happy with my sons progress since beginning at A.C.M. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and supportive to both my son and myself. They always make the time for a chat if we need one. My son is always happy and relaxed after each session and he gets excited when we tell him it's nursery
day. I think that speaks volumes!

Ashley Cross Montessori have been amazing an all aspects of my sons nursery experience. They have helped in every transition from toilet training to dealing with tantrums. They offer help and support wherever needed to both parent and child. My son has been at Ashley Cross Montessori from 2 years old
and he and myself are very sad to be leaving for school now at the age of 5. I really could not recommend them more to others. The things my son has learnt throughout the years always impresses my friends with children that attend other nurseries, these skills have more than prepared him for his next journey to primary school. Just fantastic staff and an outstanding nursery!

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.377)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.377) out of 10 for Ashley Cross Montessori Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 6 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 4.944 for Ashley Cross Montessori Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (68 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.944

  • 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 4.433 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashley Cross Montessori Day Nursery is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.2 = 0.833

  • 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.
