Ashley Cross Montessori Day Nursery

I cannot fault the nursery in any way. They are nurturing, helpful to both parents and kids, accommodating and friendly. The setting is clean, beautiful and stimulating. My twins went to the nursery for a year and a half and I saw them go from strength to strength. The school transition was excellent and they are now thriving in school, are independent and confident. I couldn’t ask for more.

My daughter went to Ashley Cross Montessori for 18 months before leaving to start school. The nursery is a welcoming, caring and nurturing environment where staff treat every child as an individual. My daughter was so happy at the nursery and she adored the people who work there. The nursery encourage independence and important life skills, they allow children to learn, grow and explore at their own pace. The nursery is 100% child-led which means children 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 amazing understanding about the world around them. I cannot praise the nursery enough and am so grateful for the time that my daughter spent with them.

A fantastic place for any child to start their learning. Our little boy is just leaving after 2 wonderful years (to go to school) and we would highly recommend the Nursery and the Team to anyone looking for excellent childcare and education. The team are really patient and really care about the children and we also really benefited from their experience and knowledge. Our little boy was born premature so we are always trying to benchmark his development to ensure he is OK and their feedback, advice and support was fantastic. Thank you to everyone involved!

My daughter started with Ashley Cross Montessori when she was 2.5. 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 happy and confident little girl who knows her own mind and this was completely encouraged by the nursery. She was always well cared for and always wanted to go into nursery. Thank you to the manager and her team for everything. I would highly recommend this nursery.

I can only recommend the nursery and the amazing neam at Ashley Cross! My child 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 happy and safe with them, and I was confident she is in great care. The Montessori method is applied wonderfully in this nursery. The environment is calm, it’s inspiring children to discover more of the world in their own time. The staff supports the children’s own development, not forcing activities on them, going with the child’s lead and helping them to make the most of their days. I love how children get to know and practice with everyday objects. I love that they encourage the children to be independent and that they communicate so well with children and parents. Emotions are acknowledged and worked with. We feel really supported and cared for here.

I love this setting. My daughter is thriving and her confidence is just amazing. The staff are wonderful, so caring and always helpful. The activities offered are such fun and educational for all children. It’s also located in a very easy to access location. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

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

A truly wonderful nursery. Both my children attended and loved every single day. We strongly believe in the Montessori approach and this nursery reminds me of the nursery I went to as a child in Germany. We chose Ashley Cross Montessori over other nurseries closer to home and never regretted it. Both my children are very different in character and I feel 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 recommend this nursery enough.

We chose Ashley Cross Montessori not only for the Montessori philosophy and also for the environment and the team. When we visited Ashley Cross Montessori for the first time, we just knew it will be our little girl’s nursery. So our little one started Ashley Cross Montessori at 2 and finished at nearly 5. She absolutely enjoyed going to the nursery every time and she likes everyone she has met there. She felt really sad for leaving the nursery 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 nursery. From our view, Ashley Cross Montessori has a wonderful team who cares about you and your child and our (nearly) 3 years of experience proves it. I would highly recommend Ashley Cross Montessori.

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