Lemon Tree Montessori Nursery School

"Such a fantastic nursery with a great team of key workers, who very supportive and professional work very closely with the children. They have a wide variety of activities and my son would always look forward to going to Lemon Tree giving us great reassurance."

"This is an absolutely fantastic nursery and pre school. Both my children have attended Lemon Tree and have had excellent experiences and been very well prepared for starting primary school. The staff are professional, lovely people who go above and beyond to give the kids the best experience. They provide extremely varied activities with new toys and educational resources introduced each week. The group play and activities are great and the one to one work has been amazing to nurture skills and learning. There is a ton of outdoor and indoor space for kids to run around and free play. Safety and wellbeing is fantastic and.both my kids miss going there even though they are settled at school. I would highly recommend this nursery."

"Today wast daughters last day at Lemontree and she is so sad to be leaving. I cannot recommend the nursery enough. The staff are so attentive to all the children, they work so hard at making sure all children are excelling in everything they do. While at Lemontree I saw my daughter advancing on a weekly basis. Her maths and language skills are above what is expected for her age, and it is a testimony to the staff at Lemontree. I am so pleased my son will now be attending full time. Cannot give the nursery staff enough praise."

"My son has been here for two months. The staff are very kind and supportive as he was quite apprehensive about attending nursery. Even in two months his language skills have developed a lot. He talks about the teachers when he is at home. The nursery is in a nice building and the children's toys are Montessori style ie natural materials. There is also a large outdoor playing area which the children go in pretty much everyday. The children also all mix together in different age groups which is great for their social skills. The nursery is also very flexible on the length of the school day and offers term only places."

"This is the second nursery we have tried in this area. It is far and away the best. The teachers are dedicated professionals (most are also Montessori trained in addition to EYFS training) who are obviously enjoying their work with children, and who are committed to Lemon Tree in the long term. In other words, unlike the other nursery we tried which had huge problems with staff turnover, the teachers at Lemon Tree know us, we know all of them, and most importantly they and the children know each other. Every week my partner and I talk about how relieved we are that our son is at Lemon Tree, and how confident we feel in the care and attention he is receiving there. They also have an enormous outdoor play area with real grass and trees, not just a carpark covered in astroturf. The children are given many opportunities for outside play and they integrate natural learning with their Montessori curriculum. I would recommend this place without qualification."
