    The team really care for the kids and provide the best, holistic care and education. The childcare centre is very well resourced and is very spotless and organised! There is also outstanding updates between team and parents and I consistently felt informed about both my sons’ development and discovering goals etc. I have visited many, many nurseries in Croydon and this by far is the best one! Cannot praise the childcare centre enough and would suggest. Our boys just started their new childcare centre and miss their educators back at MMI so much – big thanks to the manager and all team for all their hard work. We miss you all. MMI is an outstanding childcare centre where carers and management go the extra mile in order to assistance the kids development and their parents.

    The childcare centre itself is very spacious, with a lovely outdoor area, which gives all kids space to move around more freely. Most of the team have been with my daughter since she started and they really are an asset to the childcare centre. She has a couple favourites that she will consistently come home and talk about. They do teach the Montessori method of teaching, which I wasn’t very familiar with before, as my mum has been a manager at a childcare centre for over 30 years and has also worked with Ofsted, so I had/have a slightly different way of thinking when it came to teaching methods, but as soon as she started I could see the difference in her and all of the new things she was discovering, they really do encourage independence. Overall, a lovely childcare centre, I would definitely go back and the team working with the kids are incredible. My daughter has been attending MMI since she was 1 and she is now 4, soon about to leave and start reception.

    She has learnt a lot from the day she joined and has become confident and independent. The way the childcare centre takes care of her has ensured that I can focus on my work without being worried about anything. Their response time is excellent and their attention to detail is exceptional. Keep up the great work! This is our very first journey with a childcare centre and we are very pleased with the result we can see in our daughter.

    The team are very welcoming and inviting. They are consistently communicating with us as parents, and it is consistently a comfort to see how much they care about the kids’s well-being, safety, education and social interactions.
    I also like that they allow opportunities for parents to get involved whether it’s just to read a storybook to the kids or to playtime with the kids.
    Our kid consistently comes home discovering something new, if not a few things. Their facilities are spotless and well fit for purpose for the kids to use, as well as ample choices of activities. Their Montessori approach is also very well suited to the philosophy we use in raising our kid, to be confident, independent and compassionate. I would definitely suggest MMI. I do not regret choosing MMI for our kid to attend childcare centre and pre-school.

    What a excellent team, making the perfect place for my kid’s education!
    Fantastic team, excellent use of space, and outstanding assistance offered.
    The team clearly have an absolute passion for what they do.
    I adore that the team try in every way to involve parents/carers in the style of teaching, the daily experiences, and the curriculum.
    So often my son comes home with new speech and learnings, that I didn’t expect possible yet.
    He has grown into a confident, independent and clever little human since joining MMI a year ago.

    She absolutely loves coming every time, the childcare centre has a lovely, inviting and inviting atmosphere. The team are very welcoming and I get a excellent report with pictures every time. They really care about the kids’s development and ensure the parents are involved too. The admin team are extremely supportive. I would definitely suggest MMI to anyone. My daughter has been attending MMI Day Nursery Croydon since March last year.

    They did not let us down at all.
    He built excellent relationships with all his key people and we really appreciated the time and dedication as it came through with his development. All his educators did a remarkable job looking after him. We put in a lot of time teaching him before he started childcare centre and MMI responded by matching his pace to keep him engaged and delight in discovering. He consistently ran straight into childcare centre and walked out with a smile on his face.
    Thank you so much MMI for everything, his time with you has fully prepared him to do his best at big school and we will miss you all. We started our son as a 3-year-old during the pandemic and so we had to place a lot of trust in the team at MMI.

    He is discovering plenty of new abilities as well as improved behaviours. The childcare centre keeps us up to date about all that is going on when it comes to our kid as well as about the childcare centre in general. Our kid is developing really well.

    It’s secure to say MMI have done a fabulous job at seeing my daughter through to the end of her time in preschool. My daughter has thrived over the last three years. She has a well-developed language, numeracy and phonics skills all thanks to the setting for their hard work and discovering through playtime/kid-led stance. My daughter’s emotional intelligence has also grown over the last few years and that is owing to the secure space team at MMI create for all kids in their care to thrive and be their best. I can’t say enough to applaud this setting, family and friends constantly compliment my daughter’s strong development and I must say all the credit (most!) goes to the remarkable setting that MMI is. I know my daughter will miss it when she moves on at the end of next month. My daughter joined the baby room at MMI Croydon in 2019, from a non-montesorri setting.

    My daughter loves it. The team are very welcoming and attentive. She spent three years there. We really liked the Montessori style of discovering, my daughter has become really independent and confident. Really nice and calm setting.

    It’s fantastic seeing our son get excited about going to daycare here. The educators really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualised way. The management has been very flexible and could accommodate our various different requests.
    Since joining the childcare centre, 3 and a half years ago, our son has grown into an independent little boy. Overall, we are very cheerful with our choice. Amazing team with so much heart and attentive mindset.

    My son and daughter have both learnt and developed a excellent deal during their time there, and it is clear that the team genuinely care about the kids. They adore being dropped off in the morning, which has made the transition of going back to work after maternity leave so much easier. My son is now ready for school in September after being fully prepared academically and socially by the incredible team at MMI. MMI Croydon is so much more than childcare.

    My son has attended the childcare centre for over a year, and he loves it. The manager and all the girls are very expert and attentive. The childcare centre is lovely with plenty of resources and equipment. Easy to contact and great updates tools so you know what your baby is been doing. Would %100 suggest it! We couldn’t be happier with the childcare centre!

    My kid has flourished in their care and they have introduced many incredible things. It’s managed well, consistently sense comfortable bringing up issues or suggestions and all the team and kids are extremely polite and compassionate. In my opinion, MMI is a remarkable childcare centre and preschool.

    She absolutely loved it! Every day she learnt new things, she made some remarkable friends and her self‑assurance and ability to take on new challenges was incredible to watch. The educators are welcoming, honest and open – my daughter formed close bonds with many of them. As a mother, I never had to worry about sending my daughter there. I also loved the fact that it’s so spacious there and they do little enjoyable trips to the shop or the park with the kids when they get a bit older. All in all, a excellent childcare centre. They do tend to be closed for more days than other nurseries though, so that is something to consider when looking around. My eldest daughter joined the baby room at MMI when she was 1 year old and stayed right up until preschool.

    They involve kids in lots of activities which is helping kids in their mental and physical growth. Good time slots are being offered, which helps with our expert commitment. Excellent childcare centre with a excellent key worker looking after my kid.

    Especially during the tough times we have just faced with Covid etc, I think they have dealt with it pretty well considering the situation. My kids have been going to MMI for years now, I am pleased with how they have been taught.

    I absolutely loved the building, there was so much room and it was full of light. Cost wise for a purpose-built childcare centre it’s very competitive (I thought it would have been more expensive being Montessori).
    I really liked the assistant manager, she consistently gave me excellent advice if I was ever struggling with how to help my kid develop in a particular area, or if I didn’t know how best to deal with my kid’s behaviour, she would consistently give me thoughtful, insightful advice. Both my kids attended the preschool room and they both loved it.

    The kids receive an enormous amount of personal attention and heartfelt attentive. The daily activities are numerous, varied and fascinating. The kids learn so much about science, health, maths, nature and the world around them. They also spend plenty of time playing, creating art and doing sports. Every day is well planned out and the systems are very deliberately put in place to assist the kids with their development.
    The educators and manager are very intelligent, diligent and communicate well with the parents.
    I sense extremely lucky that my daughter was able to attend MMI. MMI is an outstanding childcare centre.
