November 21, 2022 at 12:00 amMy child leaves nursery with a big smile on her face! When she began nursery, her confidence was low and she became very clingy (possibly as a result of the pandemic). Since being with a group of adults who really care about her well-being, she is growing into a confident, happy girl. Both myself and my wife have been impressed with what she has been learning: she sings songs, plays happily with other children and reads books for pleasure. We thoroughly recommend The Grange.

November 21, 2022 at 12:00 amI have two children currently at one of your nurseries. Over the past two years, I have found the staff and management to be helpful & approachable. In terms of hours/days the nursery is open, alongside the facilities provided, I found the nursery offered more than other local childcare providers. More importantly, my children appear happy and are developing well.

November 21, 2022 at 12:00 amThe Grange Montessori is amazing, the staff are all lovely and great. Both of my daughters thrived being there and always have been very happy there. The level of care the staff have given my daughters is above and beyond amazing.

November 21, 2022 at 12:00 amWe have a fantastic experience with The Grange, both with my eldest daughter (who left preschool in the summer) and also with my youngest who is one year old. My son starting nursery at 6 months was a concern due to being so young, but the staff in the room were so caring and he enjoys himself so much whilst he is there. They have patiently been pursuing his nap routine and we have finally had some success there. The manager is great at running a very smooth ship! She is always on hand to listen to any concerns from parents and feedback on any issues. She ensures all children within the facility are well cared for as well as keeping parents and carers updated with the changes. The recent change in management company has had little effect on the standard of care that The Grange offers the children, but there has been a noticeable change in the staff’s happiness. I just hope that all the new changes and restrictions the company are putting the staff through, does not result in staff leaving.

November 22, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth my children enjoy the nursery and have bonded well with the staff. They love playing outside and enjoy the activities throughout the day. They experience different foods whilst at nursery and try a variety of different flavours that they wouldn’t necessarily try at home.

November 22, 2022 at 12:00 amNo problems, my son is always happy going to Nursery and happy when I pick him up. Communicate well and keep up to date and see photos every now and again. I have no concerns or worries. Always positive. Big thumbs up from us.

November 22, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has attended here since February 2021 when he was 8 months old. He went from mini seahorses classroom to seahorses classroom in September after his first birthday. He also does the early sessions with the morning staff and I have to say all of the staff in both rooms, as well as the morning staff are absolutely amazing. They help his development and work alongside me when I want to work with him on certain aspects of his development. They are all so kind and caring and I cannot praise them enough for how much they’ve helped my son develop, especially with the wide range of activities they plan. He’s come on leaps and bounds since attending nursery, and I cannot wait to see how well he develops over the next few years there!

November 22, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter absolutely thrives coming to this nursery, she loves all the staff and other children. Getting updates through the day is very reassuring and it eases me whilst at work knowing how much she is up to. My daughter has attended a nursery previously and childminder and The Grange is the best by far!

December 1, 2022 at 12:00 amExcellent nursery where I am confident my daughter is safe and happy. She’s built lovely relationships with her adults and I feel that all staff genuinely care about the children they look after. Very happy with the flexibility of early drop offs as it helps so much for working parents.

December 8, 2022 at 12:00 amThis is a good nursery. My little girl loves going to nursery, she really enjoys seeing her friends and the staff. The staff are always very friendly and tell me what she has done in the day and what she has eaten.

December 8, 2022 at 12:00 amGood nursery and friendly staff. Lots of varied and interesting activities for the kids. More attempts should be made to include both parents equally, in decision-making and information sharing, especially if they’re split.

December 8, 2022 at 12:00 amA truly lovely nursery that takes time to care, play and educate each child. We’ve had learning plans and one-to-one parent evenings. They always feedback on daily activities, and we always receive pictures and updates on the Family app.
We’ve also had a lot of support to help my little one with her speech, helping with referrals to speech therapy and LIFT. Really great nursery, my little one is very happy there. Thank you!

December 14, 2022 at 12:00 amI think all the staff at the Grange are very friendly and are always approachable to discuss my daughter’s development. My daughter is happy to attend the setting, which is the most important point for me when sending her to childcare. I do feel at times because my daughter only attends one day a week that, I’m unaware at times who her key worker is and she seems to have had a lot of changes of key workers since she started at the nursery. Staff, I find very approachable and happy to discuss my daughter’s progress, but I hardly speak with her actual key worker. Overall, I’m happy with the care the setting gives my daughter and will recommend them to others.

April 14, 2023 at 12:00 amThe nursery used to be excellent until they become under new management. There has been a big staff turnover now and a lot of the new staff are not as caring and don’t have the best interest of the children. The prices have gone up a lot from hot dinners to hourly pay. The nursery overall is okay now.

April 17, 2023 at 12:00 amStaff are so accommodating nothing is ever a problem or too much to ask, my daughter has been here since 9 months old during covid and she absolutely loves coming here. I will be sending my next child here too. Always happy to help and feels like I’m sending her into a family who treats her so well couldn’t ask for better! She loves the garden and forest school in rain or sunshine and has happily transitioned from class to class when going up in ages.

May 25, 2023 at 12:00 amMy baby started nursery in April at six months old. He is so happy coming into the nursery and gives the girls in his room a big smile when we walk into the room. I had just started weaning my little boy and the girls in the room are so caring and attentive with this and listen to his needs.

July 28, 2023 at 12:00 amAfter visiting three different nurseries, I came across The Grange Montessori Nursery. I immediately felt comfortable and knew that my daughter would be safe and well looked after at the nursery. She has been at the nursery for over a year now and she loves it. All of the staff are lovely and take an interest in each individual child. She has made so much progress since being at the nursery.
I personally have no complaints about the nursery and thank them for taking good care of my child while I’m at work.

July 31, 2023 at 12:00 amI am so pleased with the nursery, the staff are absolutely amazing and considering what they are expected to do for the pay they get (due to the government funding), they’re brilliant! My little boy has been going there since he was six months old, he is now eighteen months. He only goes once a week and even though he is usually a little bit emotional going in, the girls are always so lovely and caring when taking him. They’re more than happy to answer any queries and happy for you to phone and check in on them. They’re very accommodating and friendly. I honestly couldn’t be happier, my little boy is thriving and is usually full of smiles and laughter when we pick him up. His key worker is truly amazing and just so lovely, and the manager is brilliant too. There is also another lovely staff member from his room who is always there on early mornings, she’s great also! They’ve recently been rated outstanding from Ofsted also, which is a huge achievement so well done to them all!

July 31, 2023 at 12:00 amAll three of my children have attended this nursery and I cannot fault this facility at all! I tried my youngest son at another nursery this year from January and by March I moved him over to this nursery as I have always adored the staff here, for being so accommodating and the way they care for my children. I love how they promote independence for the children and sensory learning. I’ve always found the environment calming and organised. Generally nothing I could fault with this nursery and I could not be happier! Highly recommend!

July 31, 2023 at 12:00 amFantastic nursery, I highly recommend it! The staff are always professional yet super friendly, so flexible and accommodating, nothing is ever too much trouble. Both my children have really enjoyed their time here.
