Oak Lee Montessori School

We moved to Oak Lee in March 2020 during the initial lockdown we stayed on as our daughter settled well and quickly. The staff seemed competent and consistent which was very important to me. Difficult to answer below eg. good or excellent as not enough interactions due to Covid.

We have been with Oak Lee for over 7 years; we have 3 children and our youngest is still there! Over this time, we’ve been fortunate to build and maintain a great partnership with Oak Lee and I believe our children have benefitted from this. From a very young age, Oak Lee introduced structure and education but more importantly, the children are happy and engaged throughout, that’s based on our experience. The staff have great energy and ethos about them.

Picking a nursery for any new mother returning to work is a daunting task; with the fear of missing out, the anxiety of having someone other than family caring for your little one and the general uncertainty of what to expect from it all. I would like to say one meeting with the staff at Oak Lee Montessori School and I was sold. All the staff were so warm and welcoming and treat each child as individuals. The daily fun activities are tailored to each child ensuring they reach their full potential. The onsite cook and team come up with the most amazing nutritious dishes too. There is also the opportunity to have regular catch up’s with my son’s key workers which I have found reassuring and informative. My little one has been attending for a year now and I would highly recommend Oak Lee Montessori School to anyone looking for a nursery in the area. It’s been such a blessing to have found such a wonderful nursery to provide him with such a solid foundation in life.

Oak Lee provides a nurturing, disciplined environment for nursery aged children to grow and develop, preparing them with an excellent foundation to walk into compulsory education with confidence and independence – fully prepared to learn and grow. The nursery has a wonderful, open and approachable management team that care’s for the children’s mental and physical wellbeing as well as teaching great life skills and foundations for academic education. We’ve sent both our daughters here and my nieces will follow too.

We had a wonderful experience sending our daughter to Oak Lee Montessori School. The induction and registration process was swift and well conducted. I really felt they wanted to get to know my child and they were very detailed with the information they gathered. My daughter settled in almost immediately and was very excited to attend daily. We noticed how she was taking on positive actions and behaviours learnt whilst she was there, such as pushing chairs in when standing up and tidying away shoes without a thought. Her confidence grew and she was always happy. The staff were welcoming and polite. Management was great at keeping parents up to date and communication was excellent. We were always really impressed that it was a structured environment and processes were very swift especially drop off’s and pickups.

Oak Lee Montessori Nursery provides a well-rounded experience to children. The staff is trained, knowledgeable and supportive.

Both our children went to Oak Lee Montessori School. We had an exceptional experience both times. The nursery is well run, with managers visible and accessible on a daily basis. The key staff members and management team have been there for a number of years and are highly experienced and dedicated. They set the kids up very well and make them independent which helps them to transition to school, such as in the way they shake hands in the evening, the uniform, French studies, short tennis, IT classes and the fact that the kids all have to carry their own book bags. The management have a strong ethos around healthy eating with an exceptional menu for kids. This is very important as the kids learn about nutrition at an early age. Both our kids thrived at Oak Lee Montessori School, settled very easily into school life and loved their time there. We would highly recommend Oak Lee Montessori School.

Extremely high standards and both my kids have gone to this nursery. Highly recommended.
Teaching children independence and giving them confidence, the staff are excellent. Nutritionally balanced meals. Activities such as tennis, French and ICT

My daughter has been attending Oak Lee for almost two years. She has thrived at the nursery, developed and learnt so much. Her eating habits and willingness to try different foods, especially fruit and veg are great, and I am grateful for the support the staff have given in her development.
