My son loved it here and misses the friends he made. They even had a little 'graduation' ceremony when they left to go to big school. My son learned how to get along with other children and grew in confidence. I found the all the staff lovely, would thoroughly recommend.
My experience with this nursery is very poor and frustrating and I do not recommend anyone to send their kid to Elms Montessori. We noticed many issues in terms of childcare, staff behaviour and their terms and conditions. They don't deserve even a single STAR as a feedback.We found couple of times my kid comes very hungry even when they confirm that my kid ate properly, which clearly was not true.They will say something and give in written something else. And I have heard from other parents that they don't return deposit money of 250 which they say they will give and even while we as parents qualify to get it back they just snatch hard earned money and talk very rudely. The staff does not have any professional ethics to talk and they handle my kid very roughly. And most of the time they don't reply to any emails what so ever, even when you remind them to. Here are few of the issues we faced:1. Every time we see the same report (which always says that my kid ate banana) and staff tells he ate something else/nothing at all, so this report is clearly a box ticking exercise.2. There is absolutely very tiny outdoor space for kids , considering you are sending your kid to explore the outside world , its really not the right place to send your kid to.3. Above all most frustrating thing is the poor communication from their staff. They will say anything you want to hear on phone or in person but will never give you in written in terms of agreement and terms, so please make sure you read the agreement line by line and take a snapshot of what you are signing. I can see one review from another user SMD couple of months back and can clearly relate to it.Overall, I would not recommend this nursery to anyone. Please have a look at Ofsted's recent report, you will not find even a even a single good/outstanding area in the official report.
Our son has been at Elms for around 18 months. He has grown in confidence immensely during his time there.All the staff are really friendly and helpful and have made an extremely positive influence to our son's development. I would definitely recommend this nursery.
Small setting but staff work very hard. To be honest space is utilised well and I the ethos is well managed. The team understand allergies and good hygiene. once you go into the setting you can see the cleanliness. I would strongly recommend parents see this school. Plus the comment from some parents are just ridiculous but I guess you cant please everyone.
From reading the reviews on this Nursery it very upsetting,. I have found the staff amazing they have looked after my children for just under 1 year. Like with anything new in life their are teething problems and I know from the progression this nursery is becoming the best in the area. From the reviews you can tell these people are simply tying to bring a negative approach to a positive environment for the children, I guess some people will never be happy. I am very happy and so are family with this nursery 10/10 keep up the good work Team Elms and ignore the negative energy.
