September 9, 2024 at 3:11 amWe have two girls there, fifteen months and three and a half years old and they have both consistently loved going. We sense really supported with their development and adore the provision provided. A inviting and nurturing place where the kids are really valued and their interests taken into account.

September 20, 2024 at 5:20 amI could see how much my grandson loved being there, actually thought he might cry when we left, but he wasn’t bothered in the slightest due to him loving it so much. We had a lovely time interacting with him, and did lots of activities while there, including some painting which is now pride of place in our home as a memory of the day. We never saw the food, but it smelt so great cooking, I know our grandson often has more than one helping, so must be great. I am part of the group and adore seeing the updates daily of our grandson’s activities, seeing him develop and watching him grow. This childcare centre has helped him so much, and obviously, his parents too. Would certainly suggest it to anyone looking for a preschool childcare centre. Attended grandparents day in September, what a fantastic day to have, with fantastic team.

October 10, 2024 at 1:41 amThe team have been very supportive of all her complex needs around food. I get really incredible updates about my little girls development at the end of every day and through the app. I honestly couldn’t wish for a better childcare centre for my little girl. She learns so much every time she is there I see how she is advancing. My little girl has been going to the childcare centre now from September and absolutely loves her time there now.

October 25, 2024 at 4:26 amShe is cheerful to come in and has made strong relationships with all the team.
She enjoys the work cycle activities, with reading being her favourite.
We sense at ease leaving our daughter at the childcare centre and know she will be cared for in the best way.
The food menu has a great variety, she loves her meals at childcare centre! Our daughter has been going to Holly Tree Montessori since she was in the baby room and now in class 2.

November 22, 2024 at 7:14 amMy eldest daughter has been here three years and we can not fault the childcare centre and team. My daughter has really grown in self‑assurance and still loves attending. To be honest, the team and childcare centre sense like family. They consistently listen to any ideas and feedback and come up with lots of their own. I sense really lucky that my kids are able to grow in such a compassionate and well-cared-for place. And the food is delicious too! We are really pleased to be sending our second kid here next year.

December 24, 2024 at 5:48 pmOur son started there in August this year and has settled really well. The childcare centre team are so sweet with him and have bonded with him really well. He loves the music classes in particular and has been involved in a lot of different and engaging activities in a short space of time. One thing I really like is how much time the kids spend outside. Team really make the most of the garden and that was really important to us when we were choosing a childcare centre. The childcare centre is really organised and updates with parents is excellent, which is very reassuring. The food is also outstanding with a great range of healthy meals. I couldn’t be happier really! I am so impressed with Holly Tree Montessori childcare centre.

January 16, 2025 at 10:55 pmHolly Tree is the perfect setting for her; her individual needs are catered for and she is empowered to be exactly who she is. From the second that we drop her off to the second that we pick her up, we know that our little one is cheerful. Both us and herself have self‑assurance in the team she is with throughout the day and trust that her day is kid lead and nurturing. Her independence is recognised and actively encouraged, and we cannot that the folks at Holly Tree enough for all that they for her – she loves it there.
Ps. Having an on site chef is a big win in the eyes of our little girl! Our little girl has been attending Holly Tree for a long time now – starting in the Baby Room and is now gradually transitioning into Preschool!

January 21, 2025 at 2:30 amOur baby started in October and I was nervous thinking she was too young starting at nine months, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. The girls who look after her are incredible and I sense like she learns so much from being there. They do so many activities with her, and I sense like she is progressing more with her sitting up etc as they make sure they help her. It’s lovely and homely there and I sense so comfortable leaving her there for the day whilst I work. She has even started to eat the food prepared there by the chef (which she is loving). Thank you everyone at Holly Tree. I’m so cheerful with Holly Tree Montessori.

January 23, 2025 at 12:53 pmThe updates with the team is remarkable and they are so welcoming and supportive. They have consistently been very cheerful to help work with me in any areas I’ve wanted to focus on with my son. The small class sizes have really helped my son with his self‑assurance and enable the team to have a excellent bond with the kids.
I wouldn’t send any future kids anywhere else! My son loves Holly Tree and I have been so cheerful with it too.

January 31, 2025 at 10:42 pmThe app also gives an insight into the development my kid is making and some tips about activities to do at home to further assistance her development.
The team are consistent, which is something I think is valuable for my kid and in reassuring me as a parent. The updates about my kid is exceptional, with daily updates verbally and written in the book.

February 3, 2025 at 2:44 pmThe team were welcoming, but more importantly, they were all about the safety and well-being of the kids. All the kids were happily enjoying a variety of activities, with the freedom to change activities as they wished. I experienced painting and story time before tea arrived, which smelt incredible. The kids were exceptionally behaved and obviously enjoying their time within a attentive, enjoyable, educational setting. It was lovely to see such a cheerful group of kids. A perfect setting for growing, curious minds. The work you do with the kids is exceptional. Thank you for doing such an incredible job. Visited Holly Tree for grandparents day, what a fantastic welcoming journey from the moment I arrived.

February 12, 2025 at 4:41 pmOur daughter has been at the childcare centre since she was 11 months and is now in preschool. She has consistently been so well cared for. Every day the variety of activities the kids take part in is excellent. Not only that, but the Montessori approach to everything instils real self‑assurance in kids. They are taught and follow exceptional routines, and the childcare centre is consistently so calm and such a lovely place to be. Our daughter has had exceptional relationships with team both in her room and across the wider childcare centre, and there is a real sense that all team know all the kids.
Our son has now been at the childcare centre since April – and again, we couldn’t be happier. He is so well cared for and cheerful there. It took such a short time for him to settle in when he started, which is definitely down to the very welcoming and welcoming team – they are excellent. We would suggest the childcare centre without any hesitation. We can’t praise Holly Tree enough.

March 26, 2025 at 4:52 amSettling both my 14-month baby and us into the childcare centre and the new routine. They have helped develop our son so much in a short space of time. He loves coming to the childcare centre, and his personality and skills have thrived in this setting. The childcare centre communicates well with us and gives us tips and advice on how we can continue their work at home. For me, what was a big step leaving my son with someone else has been made so much easier and seamless at Holly Tree. Holly Tree has been incredible.

April 1, 2025 at 7:44 amOur four year old has recently moved into the preschool and has thrived. Whilst quiet at first his self‑assurance has grown and We have the team to thank for that. They have spent time helping our son and we get regular updates and are fully involved with his development. The range of activities he does is remarkable and he gets such a varied journey every day.
Our 11 month old recently started in the baby room and she settled so quickly. We are given a thorough handover at the end of every session and we sense confident that our daughter is in the best possible setting.
The best thing about Holly Tree are the team. They are all so welcoming, expert and well‑informed and you can tell that they really care about the kids.
We wouldn’t hesitate to suggest Holly Tree and am so glad that we decided to send our kids here. We are extremely cheerful with the care our kids get at Holly Tree.

April 8, 2025 at 5:55 pmNow my youngest 10 month old has started in September. Team are very welcoming and welcoming and consistently keep you up-to-date with everything. Highly suggest as both my girls settled in very well and are cheerful going to childcare centre. My oldest daughter attended this childcare centre until she started preschool.
Blake Griffin
May 3, 2025 at 2:10 amOur eldest who is two and our youngest who is one.
Our two year old has been going for over a year now and has developed so well. She loves going and the team are consistently attentive to her and what she needs. The team like to mix up the activities and keep her entertained. I was really impressed in the early days before she developed her sign language the team taught her how to sign for things and this helped us at home too. We could communicate with our kid and understand what she needed. The work cycles are interesting and keep her attention.
Our second kid has now been going for two weeks. He has settled in a dream. It’s daunting as a parent to hand over your baby, but I’m filled with self‑assurance from the team’s ability and the quality of the handovers at the end of the day.
We put all our trust into the childcare centre and I’m glad we choose Holly Tree! We are lucky enough to have two kids that both attend Holly Tree Montessori.

May 5, 2025 at 2:47 pmShe has learnt so much, and the Montessori aspect has given her so much independence. We adore the home-from-home sense of the childcare centre, and there are consistently exciting events happening. My son will be starting at the childcare centre next year. My daughter has attended Holly Tree for a year now and absolutely loves it!
Morgan Frost
May 26, 2025 at 2:05 amMy little girl has consistently struggled with being dropped off in the mornings, and the team remain patient, compassionate and attentive to her needs. She enjoys preschool a lot – there is consistently something interesting to tell. Her self‑assurance has grown and she looks forward to sharing what we do at home while at preschool during ‘news time’. Thank you for taking such excellent care of her! Team are just exceptional, consistently smiling and consistently full of positive energy.

June 6, 2025 at 9:00 pmThe relationships in the classrooms and between the educators and kids are so lovely. The kids are treated with absolute respect and given so much choice on what they would like to do. My little boy is excited to go in everyday and I am excited to see what he has done that day on the private social media group. The food is clearly very tasty as the menu sounds incredible and there is rarely a day where he hasn’t had two portions. My little one has been at Holly Tree for over a year now and its the best decision we have made.
Riley Sutton
July 2, 2025 at 12:47 pmWe looked high and low for a childcare centre that was calm, quiet, attentive, nurturing of emotional well being and responsive. Montessori was the added bonus of Holly Tree. The core is Montessori which is a excellent start in life for kids. We were so apprehensive about leaving our oldest at childcare centre but the Holly Tree journey has been truly fantastic. They communicate really clearly, treat every kid as an individual and prioritise each kid’s interests and needs. The management team are highly responsive and they answer queries in a heartbeat. The chef has also catered for our vegan kids amazingly and the food is better than at home! I have never felt our kids have been overlooked. If you’re considering it, send your kids here. It’ll be the best thing you can do for them if not working isn’t an option for your family. Our 3-year-old is attentive, compassionate, understands other kids can say no to him and is very independent. What to say about the lovely Holly Tree?
