February 15, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter have been going here for three years now and we are very happy. The staff show genuine care and generally communicate well with parents. The children learn a lot and the Montessori way works really well to teach so many skills and prepares them well for school. A great nursery.

February 18, 2022 at 12:00 amThe staff at Poole Montessori are polite, friendly and knowledgeable about my children. I am very confident that my children receive excellent care and are progressing with their learning. Both my children are excited to go to nursery each week and we are pleased to receive lots of arts and crafts from their time there. The settling in sessions were brilliant and handled sensitively.

Very happy so far.

February 24, 2022 at 12:00 amAmazing nursery. Staff are so friendly and polite. Always go above and beyond. Feel comfortable leaving our daughter with all the staff. One lady always makes sure that my child learns new things and helps with her progression. All staff are amazing. Couldn’t recommend the nursery anymore.

February 28, 2022 at 12:00 amFantastic nursery. Right from the beginning, the staff at Poole, Montessori have been amazing. Nothing is too much of a bother for them. Always so supportive, helpful and friendly! Very happy with their standards, such a warm and welcoming environment and the benefits are great! It is so wonderful to see my child thrive and reassuring that he is getting all the support he needs and that he is happy! Thank you to the team at Poole!

March 28, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little girl loves going to nursery. She always has a smile on her face at pick up and drop off so this puts me at ease a lot, as I know she enjoys her time. The new app is a welcome addition to getting an insight into what she gets up to at nursery. Despite covid restrictions, I have found the staff approachable and it is clear they care a lot about the children. Professionalism and safeguarding are always to an exceptionally high standard. I would definitely recommend the setting to other new parents.

June 7, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended the nursery since she was 9-months-old and starts school in September 2022. I have always felt 100% happy and comforted that she is in the best hands. I have no regrets sending my daughter here, the staff have been like an extra family to my daughter and critical to her pre-school years learning. I’m actually sad that she is off to school but confident she is fully equipped to start the next journey, she will really miss the nursery and all her friends.

June 7, 2022 at 12:00 amWe’ve got a 1year old and a 2.5year old at Poole, Montessori. They both started in March.
The kids love it and have settled in really well. The staff are brilliant, very friendly and attentive. They always have updates and observations to share. The kids have both made loads of progress in the couple of months they’ve been there and clearly enjoy their days there. They’re learning lots of independence though the Montessori approach and even love tidying up! Since we first visited, the nursery have also installed a commercial kitchen and hired a full-time chef. This makes a huge difference to us (with both parents working) and the menu sounds great.

August 3, 2022 at 12:00 amThe great environment has helped our daughter develop and grow. We feel part of the process with regular updates and insight into how she is learning. Most importantly, she loves coming every day and seeing her teachers and friends. Would recommend to everyone who asks.

August 3, 2022 at 12:00 amWe have been so pleased with everything at the nursery, from the baby room through to preschool age. Staff are lovely, friendly and always helpful. The nursery is clean and organised with a lovely variety of activities. We couldn’t be happier.

August 3, 2022 at 12:00 amWe have loved the nursery for both boys. The staff have been amazing and really care for the children. We have always felt safe, and they have been given a great start in life. We will miss not coming here anymore. Thank you.

August 3, 2022 at 12:00 amThis is an excellent nursery. My child loves coming here. She is happy and confident. She is also completely ready for school. I cannot rate this nursery highly enough.

August 3, 2022 at 12:00 amMy child has thoroughly enjoyed his time every week with his friends. He loves the staff, who are more friends. As for myself, the staff have been so lovely throughout all his time. During the wobbles of starting and changes that have occurred during our time here, they have supported and encouraged both of us all the way.

August 3, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter loves her time at nursery. They always take part in fun activities, and all the staff are lovely and helpful. As well as having lots of fun, she has learnt many important skills to make the transition to school easier, including sharing, teamwork and communication. All three of my children have attended this nursery, and I would definitely recommend it to other parents.

August 4, 2022 at 12:00 amWonderful staff, great communications from the nursery itself. Poor communications from Bright Horizons Head Office with a terrible system for paying fees with mistakes and poor transparency. Bright Horizons’ ethos seems inflexible and not focussed on the customer. We have a better understanding of what you do with the children now with the app – this was late coming compared to other childcare establishments, but the more information we get and see about what you do with the children, the more complimentary we can be.

August 17, 2022 at 12:00 amA super first learning experience. Staff lovely – special shout out to two particular members.
Glad the food offered arrived. Accounting a nightmare – late/no callbacks from central team – staff have little knowledge of how that side works and didn’t feel they were supported by a ventral function. Overall, a brilliant nursery – highly recommended.

March 14, 2023 at 12:00 amI am so pleased we picked this nursery to be trusted with our little girl’s first experience of being away from us. She has had the best start in pebbles and loves each and every one of the ladies who have gone the extra mile to build wonderful and trusting relationships. We have seen our daughter’s development go from strength to strength with her confidence-building, speech, emotional intelligence and general learning. She is always happy to go in and can’t wait to share the things she has made with us. The app is a great tool to feel you aren’t away from your child and get to see what she is eating and the activities she is taking part in. We visited other nurseries before sending our daughter to Bright Horizons, Poole Montessori Day Nursery and Preschool. We knew instantly pebbles was for her. We had such a warm welcome and sensed the environment and culture were perfect. Other nurseries just weren’t the same and felt false. All of the staff here genuinely want the best for our children. Thank you!

March 14, 2023 at 12:00 amWe have 1 three-year-old child who attends nursery three times a week, since the age of 1 and my youngest who starts next week. We love the staff, the building, and the ethos. Our eldest always chats happily about his friends and comes home buzzing with happy excitement (but also suitably tired so that he sleeps!).
The food menu looks great, and my child always eats well there. I have every confidence the team will do equally well with our youngest.

March 14, 2023 at 12:00 amOutstanding nursery! The attention to detail with the children’s learning is superb. Such a caring and nurturing environment too. The Montessori approach really suits my son, he is absolutely thriving here and that’s down to the staff and the support they provide. Would highly recommend Bright Horizons.
