Rushcliffe Montessori, I believe has given my child the best start in life. They provide many opportunities, including trips to the local market from a young age, giving them a variety of experiences, my daughter loves collecting the eggs from their chickens.
Staff are friendly, supportive and passionate
about their job. It makes me happy at work knowing my daughter is having the best day!
Thank you!

The nursery has been fantastic, settling our son into the new environment. The staff are professional, kind and caring and took lots of time to understand his needs. There is the perfect mix of inside and outside activities with the Montessori learning too. Our son is already so settled after only a
few weeks there.

My daughter started in September. From her settling-in session, she absolutely loved coming. She always comes out happy. As her mum this is so reassuring to know that she is happy and content. My little boy also went to this nursery and started back in 2019, he was equally as happy. The staff are wonderful.
They are so caring towards the children. They go above and beyond. Great setting with so much outdoor space. The nursery is also beautifully clean with great facilities. I cant recommend it enough.

Choosing Rushcliffe Montessori for my child's early education has been the best decision. The staff's dedication and genuine care for each child's development are truly commendable. What sets this nursery apart is its focus on child-led learning, through hands-on, engaging activities. My child's experience
has been transformative, exploring various sensorial materials and learning at their own pace. As parents, we have been particularly impressed by the thoughtfulness behind the curriculum which seamlessly integrates life skills and social development. The communication and regular updates on our child's progress reflect the nursery's commitment to parental involvement and a holistic educational journey.

Rushcliffe Montessori have nurtured my eldest child for three and a half years now. Every day we drop him off, we feel he is in the safest hands and part of a lovely community that he knows well. He gets ample time outdoors, along with just the right combination of stimulation and 'downtime' that he
needs. The guidance and teaching is second to none and the amazing staff guarantee a lovely, personal approach. The manager is constantly available and accessible, offering us personal updates and many opportunities to get involved as parents. Our youngest son is now in the baby room and adores his room teachers so much! We are so lucky to have found this setting for our boys.

Our son started here in September 2021 and he has flourished within this setting. The staff go above and beyond to help. My son loves it here and we will be sad to leave when he starts school this year. I thoroughly recommend this setting the place and the staff are magical.

Our daughter has attended the nursery since September 2021 and our second daughter will be starting in September 2023. The nursery feels like a home from home for the children. My daughter has never been upset or shown any kind of upset going to nursery. She is well cared for and all staff are able
to engage with her. There are strong links between nursery and home with communication through famly and on drop off and pick up. The children's interests are taken into account to help enhance their learning and open up their world to new experiences as they grow. I couldn't be happier and look forward to my second daughter attending too.

We looked at a few local nurseries when deciding where to send our child and The Wolds really stood out for the lovely setting, facilities and professional and caring staff. It also came highly recommended by our neighbour. Both the children and staff always have such smiles on their faces. Our child
settled in so quickly and we put this down to the attention and care that the staff provide, always respecting their individual routines and adapting activities to ensure everyone is included. They put a lot of thought into providing a variety of activities each day and we love their focus on spending time outdoors.

Very happy with the Wolds and the care given to our daughter, who has thrived over the last 4 years. The team are extremely supportive, additional clubs, forest area and yoga sessions have been very much enjoyed and overall, we would recommend this nursery. May not look the most attractive, as in a
hidden location, but we have been very happy and our daughter loves her time spent at The Wolds Stragglethorpe.

Overall, seems a good nursery and my son enjoys going. They do a wide range of activities, his development is good and they are largely responsible for that. Slight issue with the sickness policy but other than that, it’s good!

We have twin under two-year-old girls who are our first children. Sending the girls to nursery was a big step for us and we were desperate to find the right place for them. Having had the girls during the pandemic, their exposure to other children had been minimal before they joined The Wolds. But seeing
the way they have really grown in confidence during their time at the nursery has been a joy. They can't wait to go every morning and love their time there with the other children and the staff. Every day sees them try something new and having the outside space for them was so important for us and something they really enjoy. We couldn't imagine a better place for them.

Wolds Childcare is second to none. All the staff have made myself and my husband feel so at ease when putting our daughter in their care. Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since being with them. The staff are kind, companionate, caring and committed - all the things you could only dream of.
We couldn’t recommend them enough! Thank you Wolds Childcare.

Fantastic communication using modern technology. The children feel like they are home from home and learn throughout the day in a fun yet very educational way, catering for their specific age range. Brilliant setting.

The Wolds is an outstanding facility, which excels in all areas I would wish for my child’s daycare. The staff are fantastic - the children are so well cared for. Our son has developed so well since joining (when he was only 7 months old - he is 20 months now). The facilities are excellent, especially
the outdoor space and focus on learning through play. Having an on-site chef is such a bonus too with all dietary requirements catered for. Communication with parents is always accessible and helpful. I really cannot fault the setting or the staff, including the management, for anything at all.

When sending my children to nursery four days per week, it was vital that they were stimulated, had plenty of outdoor time, and had a lot of fun - Wolds nursery has over delivered on everything I hoped for. The forest school ensures they have a huge amount of outdoor activities on a daily basis, including
climbing and rope swinging. They receive creative and educational lessons every day, and both kids have managed to make strong friendships with both the staff - all of which are lovely - and the kids. This nursery is further away than our local one, but I would happily drive a long way every day to ensure my children go to Wolds.

Wolds is a wonderful nursery, all the staff are attentive and kind! The children do so much each day. My son adores the nursery and has made strong connections with other children and staff. Wolds is a safe haven for my son and I wouldn’t send him anywhere else!

The staff at The Wolds are amazing, they all know our daughter even if they are not in her room. They are so friendly and the staff in her room have formed really close and supportive bonds with our daughter. She loves going to nursery and is always excited to get in at the start of the day. They make
lovely thoughtful gifts for us on valentines day and mothers days, things to share together and some to keep forever.

What a great nursery! My daughter started in September amongst all the madness of Covid, and her confidence was non-existent due to being stuck at home with mum. The Wolds staff have gone above and beyond for my daughter and helped her not only settle into her first daycare setting but brought her confidence
back. Their facilities are outstanding and the outdoor space is a child's dream. They do an amazing job with safeguarding in these uncertain times, I would highly recommend their facilities, staff and services to anyone. My daughter loves attending and it doesn't get better than that!

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.223)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.223) out of 10 for Rushcliffe Montessori 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 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 4.940 for Rushcliffe Montessori is calculated as follows: ( (79 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.94

  • 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 4.283 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rushcliffe Montessori is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.583

  • 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.
