November 18, 2022 at 12:00 amThe nursery have been great, my son is 3 months and is starting nursery. I didn’t want to send him so young. But the staff have been amazing and made him settle in very well and I am happy with how they take care of them too.

November 18, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth of my sons have been to this nursery and have absolutely enjoyed every minute. The staff communicate effectively and are just a pleasure to be around, the environment is always clean and provides a happy and friendly atmosphere. My children thrive and have learnt so much with the help from all the staff at the nursery. My youngest started during covid and their procedures were to a fantastic standard. My youngest who is still currently at the nursery comes home smiling and happy about his day. They really do go above and beyond to give your children the best in their development in preparation for school.

November 18, 2022 at 12:00 amI feel that my child is well cared for and is encouraged to take part in all of the activities. All the staff are very helpful and know my child’s needs very well. The staff ensure that all communication is handed over in a timely manner and is easy to understand.

November 22, 2022 at 12:00 amI find the nursery great, there is brilliant communication from the staff and they seem to really care about my daughter’s well-being. She is very happy there and I like that it is a smaller space with not too many children per room.

November 30, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter absolutely loves going to this nursery, and we love it too. Everyone is so friendly, the activities are creative and fun, and the food provided is excellent. She is so happy and excited about telling us about her day each day she is there. We could not have asked for a better experience.

April 14, 2023 at 12:00 amBefore Old Station Road took over, I recommend it to everyone. However, that is no longer the case. We were told that it would be a slow transition over to the new system and changing company. However, it wasn’t. You have taken away term time, you dictate what sessions. We are paying customers, why should I have to pay until 6 when I pay this company thousands with both my children. Why do we have to pay for bank Holidays now? Not even open. And the new app is rubbish. Don’t see any pictures of children doing activities just the set-up. The staff are incredible. And it’s heartbreaking to see this once wonderful nursery just being ripped apart. The staff are the only reason I am still there! Don’t even get me started on the price rising when it and only just been done under previous management a month before the change. And quite frankly how the company treats their staff I also find disgusting! Management rating is not based on the Manager in Margate, more the actual managing company The Old Station Nursery Group.

April 17, 2023 at 12:00 amBest nursery I’ve experienced. Loveliest staff who are so trusted and warm. I can’t fault this centre at all. Amazing place that I’d recommend highly to any family. I’ve always felt that my son has been cared for in the way that a family member would care for him at Townsend Montessori Nursery. They have always embraced my son in a trusted and loving way and I’ve had the utmost faith in the quality and philosophy of this centre. The staff always make me and my family feel welcome and at home. What a bunch of amazing women!

April 17, 2023 at 12:00 amThe teachers at the nursery are incredible. They are so kind, thoughtful, caring and inspiring towards my daughter.
The two years my daughter has been present at the nursery has changed her life. She loves being there and I could not ask for a better learning environment.
Although the new owners have changed some of the systems and I don’t feel they are parent friendly. Which is a shame when the in-house staff are so amazing.

April 21, 2023 at 12:00 amJust a few months of taking my child there, and it has been a smooth journey with the staff helping her settle and understanding her needs.
Friendly staff and safe facility.
Ready to help.
I hope the standards stay the same because I will recommend the nursery to everyone around me.

April 21, 2023 at 12:00 amStaff are amazing and friendly. Are always happy to chat and explain what’s happening. My boy loves going and can’t wait to get in on the days he attends. Will always recommend this nursery to people looking.

April 21, 2023 at 12:00 amOur son has been well cared for at Margate Townsend Montessori Nursery since he started in January 2021. The staff are very friendly and approachable and our son has developed a good relationship with a lot of the ladies who work there in the different rooms. The managers are good at listening to concerns and being flexible about our son’s needs. They have been great at following our son’s routine, which has really helped him settle into each room. The food is very well balanced nutritionally.

April 21, 2023 at 12:00 amAs a family, we have used Townsend Montessori Nursery Margate over the past eight years, my youngest currently attending. In the past and present, my view of this nursery is outstanding. My children have been well cared for and each of them has thrived in this setting. We see the members of staff as family and would highly recommend to anyone.

April 24, 2023 at 12:00 amVery good onboarding process. Everything was explained well, the staff are friendly and professional, and we had detailed updates about how our child was settling in. We appreciated how caring and empathetic they were towards us and our little boy.

July 24, 2023 at 12:00 amGreat caring staff working in the Lion Cubs room in Townsend Montessori Nursery Margate.
They are very attentive and my son is very happy there.
They have been accommodating with his weaning journey and have been patient in getting him to try new foods-which he recently has started to do!
They put out different activities for them which are thoughtful and creatively educational.

July 31, 2023 at 12:00 amThis nursery is amazing and really has helped my little boy with his speech and extra needs. He has become more confident since attending this nursery. All the staff are so lovely and kind and the setting is a great space where the children can learn and play.

August 7, 2023 at 12:00 amUsed to be very good but since it was taken over it has gone downhill massively.
You now have to pay for bank Holidays even though they are shut.
Timing we’re changed so even if you pick up early you have to pay till 5
Used to a get a good report of when they were picked up, however, certain members of staff give very little details.

August 14, 2023 at 12:00 amI can’t say enough about this nursery. The staff are amazing. Very welcoming, kind, helpful, and always smiling. My daughter started in this nursery when she was only 7.5 months. Since then and even now that she is 3 years old, hasn’t been a day that she didn’t come back home happy. She is always happy and excited to attend her nursery. Also, within the last year she very talkative, in a positive way, for her teachers and how exciting, good, and funny her day has been.
