“There is no nursery that is 100 or even 90% perfect but I must recommend monmar to whosoever that values his or her child’s moral and social upbringing. The outside may not be so ecstatic but am not really bothered about that cos my child will not be etched to the outside wall. I love the warm and friendly atmosphere.the staff are welcoming and they respect my opinions. The rooms are clean which is my main concern. My child looks happy and occupied with toys, trying to explore them. Most times I have to beg her for us to go home and believe me she won’t do that if the staff had been treating her badly. I am happy with my childs rapid academic development and her listening skills. Though they have few flaws which basically will be inherent in every other nursery, Monmar is still the best.”

“My niece attends this nursery. The staff in the baby room are attentive to the children’s needs. They always give great feedback when I go and pick her up.”

Kelly Walton

“My 2 year old started here after having an awful settling in period at another setting. She was very distressed when I introduced her to Monmar due to a bad experience, however the staff here have worked amazingly with her to gain her trust and help her to enjoy nursery. I would 100% recommend this nursery to all of my friends and family.”

Emily Browning

“Monmar is a very nice nursery where my 1 year old has been going since February. I’m very impressed by the staff who always listen to my requests. My sons key worker always gives me feedback on how his day has been and I like looking at the online journal photos. I would recommend this nursery as it is affordable and the staff are always going above and beyond to cater for my son.”

Ladena Taylor

“Our son is very happy at the nursery and always comes home telling us the fun he has had during the day. He has a wonderful bond with the staff who clearly love him as much he loves them!”

Beckie Martin-Scott

“The early education for my son has been very helpful, helped him improve his speech, communication and relationship with other kids. Thanks to all his teachers they did amazing!”

Simbiat Adeyemi

“My little girl has been attending this nursery for almost 2 years. It’s not a 5 star nursery but it has improved so much and it’s still improving. Although the setting (outside and inside), doesn’t look impressive, it’s reasonably a good place with some very friendly and professional staff. I have never had any issues with the staff and my girl always looks happy and well looked after. She will really miss it when she leaves in July.”

Abu N

“My son has been going to Monmar Nursery for the past 3 months + since I went back to work after having him. He loves going to nursery and I can see that his development has come on massively since joining.”

Misty Dowson

“My daughter has been going to Monmar Nursery since she was a baby and I never had a problem with them, the staff were lovely and most had kids themselves so they were understanding, I even remember asking them once to fed my daughter less food as she had such a big appetite! wanted to take my son their as well but the are full up at the moment which is a shame as their rates are good, now have to pay twice as much for another nursery. So I give them a Thumbs Up :)”
