My daughter has absolutely flourished and grown in confidence since attending the nursery. The key workers are all so caring, positive and professional and it has been wonderful to have the same people working with her during her time here. The children's interests are explored through structured learning activities and free play and my daughter's knowledge of numbers and phonics has really developed. My daughter has been nurtured at the nursery and is never pushed to do something before she is ready. I would highly recommend this nursery.

As a parent, I am incredibly grateful to have found this gem of a nursery for my child. The level of care, teaching methods, and emotional support provided by the entire team is beyond compare. I have watched my little one flourish in this nurturing environment, and I couldn't be happier. I must give a special mention to the headteacher. Her dedication to the children's well-being and development is incredible. She has created a warm and loving atmosphere that allows children to grow in confidence and independence. The deputy head, has a wonderful rapport with the children and always takes the time to address any concerns or questions I may have. One of the most impressive aspects of this nursery is the focus on emotional support, providing the children with a safe space to express their emotions and build their resilience. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing, supportive, and engaging environment for their child.

Best nursery ever! The staff are so caring and genuinely love what they do. They get to know each child so well and are really able to meet each child's individual needs. The nursery environment is warm, loving and home-like and the staff are so happy, fun and confident. They really encourage the growth mindset and my children have developed so well and beam with confidence thanks to them. We feel really lucky to send our children here. Would definitely recommend!

We have always been happy sending our child to Baldersby Park Montessori Nursery. Our child has loved it and as parents, we have always been happy. Excellent communication at drop-off and pick-ups. Friendly, fun and fabulous staff who are caring, loving and considerate. Our little boy has come on leaps and bounds whilst being at nursery. It's so good we are sending our second child.

Fantastic nursery, with great staff who provide a safe and educational environment with lots of fun. My child loves attending and has developed a wide range of skills and learnings from attending, as well as making lots of friends.

The care and support the children get from all the staff is amazing. You can tell from the children’s excited faces how much they enjoy each day. Whether it be exploring outside at Woodies, learning their letters and numbers or simply playing a silly game.

We are so happy we found this nursery! Our little boy joined just after his first birthday and has settled in very well. The nursery has a lovely family feel and the staff are very caring and attentive. They are situated in a beautiful rural location surrounded by woodland, perfect for exploring the great outdoors. Highly recommend!

Overall this is an outstanding nursery where every box is ticked. My children love attending and are keen to get to nursery in the morning and tell me all about their day when they get home. All staff are friendly, welcoming and have strong bonds with the children. The outdoor space is fantastic so plenty of opportunities for fresh air and exploring nature. Staff work really hard on reading/writing and language skills and the children are all so polite. I would recommend this nursery to anyone who lives in the area. My only really minor thing is I wish they provided lunch for the children as I struggle to get it prepared in the mornings but they do provide tea and will soon provide healthy breakfast options.

The most amazing caregivers with real compassion and kindness for the children. My little boy is so excited to go every week and is always having fun. They focus on outdoor activities and allow the children the freedom to learn. I would recommend it to all of my friends.

We could not have chosen a better nursery for our children. They both run in excited for the day ahead and leave happy and content, having had a full day of fun! The staff are amazing, always happy to help and provide an excellent learning environment for the children. Our girls both love the woodland walks and the fantastic outdoor space, which is always on hand, come rain or shine! Our eldest is about to start school in September, which she is more than ready for, after having an excellent start to her education at Baldersby Park Montessori Nursery.

Both our children have flourished in their time at Baldersby Park. The level of teaching where our children are educated while still getting a fun and enjoyable experience is a testament to the team. There isn’t a day when our children don’t want to go to nursery and always run in with a smile. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and are very approachable if there is anything you need to discuss. The outdoor space and safe environment really are second to none and I couldn’t imagine sending our children anywhere else.

All three of my children have gone to this nursery and I can’t recommend it enough. It can be a difficult transition getting back to work and leaving your baby but they make it so easy and you know your little one is getting the best possible care. The facilities are second to none with masses of outdoor space all geared up to ensure your little ones have endless fun and also learn plenty along the way. The developmental side is very noticeable and covers essential practical skills in addition to the early academic side. This includes my child learning to put on her own coat, how to set the table and brush their teeth (the list is endless), all done in a fun way which sinks in much easier than it ever does at home.

If I could give the team 10 stars I would! My son absolutely loves it here. All the team are so friendly and made both of us feel so welcome. It is lovely that every morning, we are greeted by his key worker, so there is always consistency and you can build a great relationship. My son also has a food intolerance, which is well catered for and he never misses out on treats. I love how much time he spends outside, exploring the beautiful settings! I cannot recommend the Head Teacher and her team more!!

My 2 children are so happy at Baldersby Park Montessori Nursery. The staff are all extremely friendly and caring. The children go in each day with big smiles. The facilities are great, in particular, the fantastic outdoor space and the weekly woodland walk is a highlight for my son. It is wonderful to see their confidence grow and both children thrive in such a supportive, caring and special environment.

I have used this nursery since January 2021 for my 3 children. Prior to this, I have used 4 other nurseries owing to several house moves through my profession. I can honestly say that this is the best nursery setting I have seen. Extracurricular activities including forest school, dance lessons and external visitors (e.g. emergency services) are the norm. Termly activities which include parents are offered to build family-nursery relationships. My 4 year old could read before attending school, largely due to the phonics focus the older children receive if they show interest. Flexibility to increase attendance is offered if there is availability. And the staff genuinely know the interests, opinions and circumstance of every single child and treat them accordingly. It is not one-size-fits-all. Children at Baldersby Park Montessori Nursery are individuals and are nourished. Staff who do not meet the high standards of the nursery are removed quickly. My children have thrived and we will be heartbroken when we move again.

All teachers are very friendly and approachable. All of the children love their teachers. Our two run down the path to get in. Even our smallest, who is particularly clingy to us goes straight in without a worry.

A lovely school set in beautiful surroundings, with a lot of amazing staff that have done wonders to bring my two out of their shells. They both love going each week and come home with a few adventures to be told. All the staff especially one in particular, really care about the well-being and happiness of each child.

Our daughter has been at the nursery since 2021 and we couldn’t be happier. The nursery has the friendliest team and you feel that they really care. They treat the children as individuals and work at their pace with their interests. They do regular show-and-tell sessions which we feel is great for confidence building, our daughter loves selecting what to bring in and show and it takes some of our daughter's home life into the nursery setting which our daughter loves sharing. The outdoor facilities at the nursery are second to none. Our daughter loves the regular woodland walks and the nursery has a member of staff dedicated to the woodland teachings. The nursery also celebrates different cultures and recently had a Bollywood dancer come in. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery.

Exceptional, friendly staff who inspire our child to explore the world. The nursery provides excellent facilities which are set within a beautiful environment. I would highly recommend Baldersby Park Montessori Nursery.

We love this nursery. Our little one always cannot wait to run down the path and join their friends and teachers. There is a really caring and nurturing feeling about the nursery and they are always doing something fun and imaginative. The setting is incredible. Having been to Queen Mary's School myself, I grew up playing in the same place which is wonderful. The woodland walks and forest school mornings are amazing.
