Did you decide to send your baby to Cherry Tree, Vivien? I am thinking about sending my pre-schooler and would love to hear from people who have experience of the nursery. I liked it when I looked around but it?s unusual in ED for nurseries to have places, which gives me pause. Thank you.

What I'd say is research Montessori teaching, and see if what they do complies (as best it can given the space) with the Montessori Method. Sit in on a session if possible and observe. Check all areas ie bathroom and kitchen properly ask lots of questions. Ie what are their aims, what do they want your child to attain from their experience there and see if it corresponds with your child's needs and what you see is best for your child. If it ticks your important boxes go for it, it it doesn't look elsewhere. If it ticks your important boxes but doesn't sit right and you can't put your finger on it. Trust your instincts...... i only ever regret things when i Ignore my instincts....they are often right, and in the very rare occasion that they are not, it has never mattered enough.


Here is a Kickstarter

I've heard all good things. We were offered a place years ago but I decided against as you have to provide meals, my only other negative was the place needs a bit of a refurb. I got a good impression all in all and I live nearby and see lots of happy kids being dropped and picked up, all good signs!

My daughter is loving it here. Things must have changed as you don?t have to provide meals now. The staff are incredibly attentive and friendly. Yes it?s a bit ?rustic? but I?d rather my daughter get the attention she is getting here than be overlooked in a bigger fancier nursery.

I think it?s all personal preference. Take a tour and go with your gut.

    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.
