cherry tree montessori nursery

[esme]

Has anyone placed their child here or have experience with this nursery? I'm searching for my baby's next stage of childcare and want to find a nursery as good as our childminder has been.... Thanks

You "want to find a nursery as good as our childminder has been" Then why move him/her? How old? Type in Cherry Tree Montessori on google.

He's 2... Childminder also wants to cut down to 4 days and generally I'd like a nursery so he has more space and gets used to a more structured day in readiness for school (next step)...

My daughter went there, but I pulled her out for various reasons. I'm happy to go through them with you if you want , so please feel free to pm me.

My youngest daughter also went there a few years back, then we moved her too (to Blossoms Montessori, which I'd wholeheartedly recommend). I know some people who were happy with Cherry Tree, but personally I think there are better nurseries out there...

My son attended for a number of years - also a few years back. I agree with Redjam that there are better nurseries out there.

If you are considering this nursery worth reading the OFSTED report from Sept 2011Cherry Tree Ofsted report Feb 2011

[minder]

Shame that Ofsted don't proof-read their reports before publishing them! I had to correct a few on my latest one - this one has a lot of spelling and grammatical errors that doesn't project a good image for the nursery e.g. "fist" for "first aid".

Hmmmm, well hopefully they inspected the bathroom area, cos it really was grim when my child was there...

[minder]

Looks like the Cherry Tree had another inspection just before Christmas. Sounds like they are doing a good job to me.

Yep, this is an old thread and also some old feedback. I know 1 child at this nursery and they are very happy.

As with all things. Visit and make up your own mind!

Hi ginarog. Why wouldn't you recommend this nursery? I am looking to go back to work in the summer and need a place for my son. I visited the nursery and the whole team seemed lovely and worked with my son while I was talking to the manager. Could you please get back to me asap.

I just visited the cherry tree montessori this morning and I have already fallen in love with it. ALL of the staff are lovely and my daughter was able to fit in and play with the other children in the room. I am going back for a second visit after the half term with my husband to see if it has changed at all. But I would recommend a visit because you need to see it in action yourself. From looking at the displays, are children are engaged in the topics in which they are learning and all seem to get on with each other and the members of staff who work with them.

My daughter has attended Cherry Tree for the past 3 years and she is more than happy there.

She is stimulated, articulate, confident and creative and most importantly has made some great friendships with the children and staff.

My daughter is beginning to read, write and tell the time....all thanks to the staff at the nursery.

Im a single mother that works on a freelance basis - the staff have allowed me some flexibility - which is unheard of in any other nursery.

I would highly recommend Cherry Tree.
