The Montessori Method of early education is a child-centred approach, its primary aim is to create a safe, happy, caring environment in which each child can learn and develop freely at individual pace.
Chris Radford2024-06-06Our daughter has attended Little Elms for over 2 years and has thoroughly enjoyed her time there. She has grown in confidence and developed lots of skills thanks to the care and attention of the wonderful staff. The range of outdoor activities, crafts and learning are wonderful and we are always kept informed on her progress. Highly recommended!Rebecca Perkins2024-05-24My daughter has been very happy at Little Elms. The staff are very caring and kind.

The owner is full of ideas, very engaged, listening to parents' voices and open for changes. My child likes to go there and learn new things every day. I really recommend this place.DELOSHANA PULENTHIRAN2024-05-22My son is very happy to goes to nursery evach morning.They are doing lots of Montessori related activities every day.NINA HANZEL2024-05-17My daughter is attending Little Elms nursery for 2 years now, even thought there was a change in management/teachers in her second year she loves it as much as before. She is leaving nursery happy and excited to share new songs or games she learned. Every week there is lots of crafts send home and also books to read for children. All children are encourage to were a smock which is really good to get them ready for uniform standards in reception/primary school. There are daily updates on activities done in the nursery including pictures, through the app.Shakila Chowdhury2024-05-14We have sent both our daughter and son to the OFTSED outstanding Little Elms Montessori Nursery. What we love about this nursery is it’s family feel with smaller classrooms and wonderful Montessori teachers who can give attention to my son in the way he needs. As a Covid baby, he was extremely shy and quiet in social situations until 2 years old, however the way he now engages in class and with his teachers is a testament to the wonderful environment that has brought out the best in him. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for quality teaching using Montessori methods and for that home away from home feel for your child.Marianna Christo2024-05-03Lovely little nursery, well organised and children are kept busy and entertained with a good level of learning. Independence is encouraged and photos provided each day to share their activities which is great on an online platform. Books changed every week and the key worker is very approachable and helpful for a smooth transition with my child every morning and afternoon. Great outside area too with additional activities offered for the children, my son enjoys football!Jessie Faulkner2024-04-30My two children attend Little Elm's and they both thoroughly enjoy it. They are always sad to leave and constantly ask when they can go to nursery again which is a very good sign. I am very happy with the Montessori philosophy and the way it promotes curiosity and independence and all of the teachers are very kind and caring towards the children. Everything is well organised and the routine they have in place is great too. Another advantage of this nursery is that they have a huge field for their own use and an outdoor play type area and the children get to go outside everyday and enjoy themselves. Overall, I am very pleased with this nursery and highly recommend it.Caroline Duker2024-04-25Little Elms Montessori Nursery is a fantastic nursery! I highly recommend sending your child there! All the staff are very friendly and enthusiastic and they go above and beyond in the care of all children! The nursery is always clean and beautiful with a big sized field for the children to run around in and play football! They also have a wooded play area which is excellent for play! My daughter has developed in leaps and bounds since starting there in January 23! It’s really interesting watching her grow and develop! It will be very sad to have to say goodbye when she leaves to go to primary school! 😔Louisa Petrou2024-04-23I have two children currently attending this nursery. We joined the nursery back in Jan 2023 and I’m really happy with the setting. The children do so much and are really encouraged to talk, covering topics in circle time or just generally when playing. They take books home on a weekly basis to encourage reading and the themes that are introduced to the are so educational and really helps them learn and be aware of the world around them. Independence is massively encouraged which was something I was nervous about for my youngest (daughter) as she wasn’t very physical and not a very social baby but the setting has changed her. It’s an organised setting, clean (lots of hand washing) and most of all a very safe and loving place for our children. It ticks all boxes that a mum would want it to when handing over the care of their children to others. My children are excited to go in and speak about the teachers so that’s a great sign when coming from the childrenGoogle rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 13 reviews
