    Our little boy is just leaving after 2 fantastic years (to go to school) and we would highly suggest the Childcare centre and the Team to anyone looking for outstanding childcare and education. The team are really patient and really care about the kids and we also really benefited from their journey and knowledge. Our little boy was born premature so we are consistently trying to benchmark his development to ensure he is OK and their feedback, advice and assistance was remarkable. Thank you to everyone involved! A remarkable place for any kid to start their discovering.

    My daughter attended there for two years before starting school in September.
    She was extremely cheerful there. The team were very welcoming and attentive to her and to us and prepared her very well for school (mainly through playtime) without her or us even realising! The team were also very expert. Our daughter had a history of febrile convulsions and she had a fit whilst in their care. They rang for an ambulance and contacted us immediately. I liked that the educators were mixed in age, sex and ethnicity – I was very impressed that my daughter learnt how to count in French and Spanish whilst at childcare centre. I cannot suggest this childcare centre highly enough!

    Our son is so cheerful, so well looked after, and discovering at a speed of knots. We’ve been so impressed by how they’ve handled covid. The childcare centre has felt secure, normal, and just as jolly. It’s a small childcare centre and the kids receive a lot of attention – development is tracked closely, skills gently taught, and Montessori independence instilled. Would suggest to everyone. We couldn’t imagine a better childcare centre in the world.

    She’s been there almost a year now and we have had zero cause for complaint. Throughout the lockdown period, the updates and assistance from the childcare centre was invaluable and on return, after lockdown, the childcare centre felt spotless and secure but still inviting and welcoming for both the kids and their parents.
    Our little girl is full of self‑assurance and smiles after each session and we have seen her independence grow and grow under the guidance of the team. She has made friends, developed so many new skills and become one of the Ashley Cross Montessori family.
    We highly suggest this childcare centre, the manager and all of her team! The moment we stepped into Ashley Cross Montessori and were greeted by the team we knew that it was the right place for our little girl to flourish.

    Really inviting and welcoming team. My little one has severe allergies and they have really taken it seriously, which makes me sense like he is in a secure place. Most of all my son loves it and has learned and developed so much. He doesn’t want to come home at the end of the day! Fantastic childcare centre, a bright open plan space with lots of interesting educational tools for little ones.

    When we visited Ashley Cross Montessori for the first time, we just knew it will be our little girl’s childcare centre. So our little one started Ashley Cross Montessori at 2 and finished at nearly 5. She absolutely enjoyed going to the childcare centre every time and she likes everyone she has met there. She felt really sad for leaving the childcare centre as she had to go to reception and she still talks about it now and then. Every time we drive past, she would remind us this was the route we used to get to the childcare centre. From our view, Ashley Cross Montessori has a fantastic team who cares about you and your kid and our (nearly) 3 years of journey proves it. I would highly suggest Ashley Cross Montessori. We chose Ashley Cross Montessori not only for the Montessori philosophy and also for the setting and the team.

    Our 1 year old started when he was 9 months old and – especially after being born in lockdown – has become such a social and independent little boy. We adore the variety of activities being offered and our son has certainly enjoyed watching the live ballet dancing that was arranged. The team is very attentive and expert but also personable and welcoming. For us it definitely feels like an interesting, attentive and inspiring childcare centre where our son loves to spend his time. We adore this childcare centre!

    They are nurturing, supportive to both parents and kids, accommodating and welcoming. The setting is spotless, lovely and stimulating. My twins went to the childcare centre for a year and a half and I saw them go from strength to strength. The school transition was outstanding and they are now thriving in school, are independent and confident. I couldn’t ask for more. I cannot fault the childcare centre in any way.

    We can’t fault the place. My kid loved every second of it. We adore the Montessori approach and it was the right choice for our daughter. The manager and her team are truly magical and fantastic people. I would suggest Ashley Cross Montessori to anyone and I’m truly sad my kid had left and now goes to school. I can’t sing their praises enough. Thank you. Outstanding.

    They do a number of activities so she develops a number of skills as well as having enjoyable. The meals offered are excellent too so she gets to journey a number of nutrients and tastes. My daughter loves going there and it’s been so great for her development.

    The childcare centre is a welcoming, attentive and nurturing setting where team treat every kid as an individual. My daughter was so cheerful at the childcare centre and she adored the people who work there. The childcare centre encourage independence and important life skills, they allow kids to learn, grow and explore at their own pace. The childcare centre is 100% kid-led which means kids are not forced into activities they don’t want to do but gently encouraged to try new things, explore nature and experiment with ingredients and craft materials. They leave feeling confident and having an incredible understanding about the world around them. I cannot praise the childcare centre enough and am so grateful for the time that my daughter spent with them. My daughter went to Ashley Cross Montessori for 18 months before leaving to start school.

    It’s a loving discovering setting that has played an integral role in my daughter flourishing. I can’t rate them high enough. The childcare centre is a haven for the kids and the gentle teaching style of the tutors is a pleasure to witness.

    Our daughter attended and enjoyed it so much. Our son is now going there and at the start, we would struggle to make him go but with the educators’ tremendous help he settled in well and now loves going there. Both our kids are different and I sense both were taken care of according to their individual characters. I highly suggest this childcare centre. A truly excellent childcare centre.

    Our little girl is very cheerful here and we are excited to watch her grow with the help of the team. We are so impressed with the childcare centre, the updates has been remarkable with regular updates and genuine care from the team.

    She returned to childcare centre in September and after lockdown, where she didn’t socialise much at all, she struggled, but Ashley Cross Montessori have been remarkable and she is so settled there now. They really are fantastic and so attentive with the kids. I adore how laid back it feels even with all the Covid precautions. Our daughter has such enjoyable and is discovering so much with the childcare centre. I would suggest it to all. Our daughter had a difficult start to her childcare centre life as her settling in days happened just before lockdown.

    Having visited several others in the area this is the only one I was really comfortable with. They did not disappoint! My daughter started school in September a cheerful and confident little girl who knows her own mind and this was completely encouraged by the childcare centre. She was consistently well cared for and consistently wanted to go into childcare centre. Thank you to the manager and her team for everything. I would highly suggest this childcare centre. My daughter started with Ashley Cross Montessori when she was 2.5.

    The team are compassionate, attentive, adaptive, diligent, and expert. I truly believe our kids are better people because of the guidance given by the childcare centre – certainly when we (as new parents) had any kid-related questions or concerns they consistently offered advice and assistance. Our kids absolutely loved attending and I can’t suggest them enough! A truly fantastic childcare centre.

    My kid joined them in 2019 and did not speak English at the time yet we felt assured that she’d be fine. She thrived thanks to the team. The start was not easy for her (as it usually isn’t) and the team supported her emotionally so well that she soon felt cheerful and secure with them, and I was confident she is in excellent care. The Montessori method is applied wonderfully in this childcare centre. The setting is calm, it’s inspiring kids to discover more of the world in their own time. The team supports the kids’s own development, not forcing activities on them, going with the kid’s lead and helping them to make the most of their days. I adore how kids get to know and practice with everyday objects. I adore that they encourage the kids to be independent and that they communicate so well with kids and parents. Emotions are acknowledged and worked with. We sense really supported and cared for here. I can only suggest the childcare centre and the incredible neam at Ashley Cross!

    My daughter is thriving and her self‑assurance is just incredible. The team are fantastic, so attentive and consistently supportive. The activities offered are such enjoyable and educational for all kids. It’s also located in a very easy to access location. I would definitely suggest this childcare centre. I adore this setting.

    Both my kids attended and loved every single day. We strongly believe in the Montessori approach and this childcare centre reminds me of the childcare centre I went to as a kid in Germany. We chose Ashley Cross Montessori over other nurseries closer to home and never regretted it. Both my kids are very different in character and I sense both were taken care of according to their individual sentiments. They weren’t treated with a one size fits all approach, but each teacher took the time to get to know them and help them grow their strengths and overcome any areas they found challenging. I couldn’t suggest this childcare centre enough. A truly fantastic childcare centre.
