Both my children have attended this Nursery from age 2. (Now 2 1/2 and 4) They have both loved it and are always excited to go in! My overall experience is a positive one. My son has SEN and is due to start School in September. The staff have been amazing supporting him. They are caring and great at their jobs, always friendly and welcoming

Over the last three years we have had two children go through Montessori Explorers, my son from 8 months old, my daughter from 5 months old. Although my son has moved to a local preschool in September, we still bring him back to join his sister during the holidays as he is familiar with the staff and has had friends from a young age who are still there.
There was quite a bit of change around 1.5-2 years ago, with the nursery going through several different managers and approaches, but I have to say the level of care and support has always been good and recently has proved to be outstanding for me.
Whilst doing his regular holiday visit days this summer, my son suffered from a seizure. The staff were beyond incredible, stopping any serious harm from coming to him, reassuring and removing other children from the situation and contacting myself and the emergency services swiftly. They informed me in detail of what had happened and helped me organise my two children into the ambulance calmly and kindly. They repeatedly checked in on me over the following days and wrote up a risk assessment for my son, despite the fact he is only an occasional visitor.
The staff have treated not just my children, but me as a parent like family. They listen to requests around dietary requirements, potty training and any additional needs carefully and I honestly can’t imagine anyone being made to feel unwelcome by the superb staff and management. Thank you for all you have done for my children in their early years.

Montessori Explorers is a nurturing, caring and positive setting.
I have been very happy with the care my child has received. There is a focus on the whole child and their personal development. The staff are fantastic and genuinely care about each child they look after. They build fantastic relationships with the children and provide excellent support. From an academic point of view, there is a clear curriculum that supports the children to learn through play and my child has made excellent progress.
A really great nursery.

My children enjoy their time at Montessori Explorers and are thriving. I have one child with SEN and we are currently being supported well by staff. We are kept up to date with an app and communication is great. Friendly and compassionate staff

Our daughter attended Montessori Explorers from the age of 1 up until this summer when she left for school. We were initially drawn to this nursery because of the homely, friendly feel and mix of Montessori and traditional values. The huge garden and the fact that the children go out in all weathers was something that was important to us.
We can safely look back and say we were never disappointed with our choice- it was a fantastic nursery and our daughter learnt a lot and developed lots of important skills with the support of the staff. All of the ladies who looked after our my daughter were amazing, they really take the time to get to know each child and make sure they’re happy and settled at nursery, challenging and supporting them at all so they can develop at their own pace.
We loved that parents were kept really well informed via messages and the Tapestry app, it was lovely to see snippets of their day and what they children had been doing.
We would definitely recommend Montessori Explorers!

Fantastic nursery!! My son has been at the nursery since 10 months and has thrived, he is now 28 months. He is now advanced for his age and this is a credit to the nursery.
He spent sometime in hospital last year and Jose the manager at the time kept in contact to offer me advice and support.
My son is so happy that when we moved house I decided to keep him at Montessori Explorers and make the drive all the way from the other side of Sutton Coldfield. I have also recommended the nursery and friends now have their children here too and are equally happy.
When I lost my job a few months back Nikki helped me secure 2 year old funding. Montessori Explorers is a family run business, management all know each child and parent personally.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough, 5 stars!!!

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 6 months old. It was so scary leaving her as a first time mum, however the staff really made a conscious effort to make me feel as comfortable and at ease as they could with settling in sessions and always being available to communicate with to check on my little one.
My daughter is now nearly 2 years old and absolutely loves going to nursery now and has developed so much. I never have any issues and all of the staff are incredibly friendly and easy to chat with.
Amazing nursery, good work guys 👏🏾

Montessori Explores is an absolutely amazing nursery ☺️ both of my boys went there and loved it so much, they made great friends and had such lovely bonds with the girls❤️
My first experience with another Montessori nursery was terrible and I couldn’t wait to leave, I was very anxious as of what to expect after what I had experienced at the previous Montessori nursery but I had no reason to be, everyone was so welcoming, friendly and really made me feel at ease & I had trust & confidence sending my children there. Montessori explores showed me how a nursery should be. Thank you to Nicky for making the transition so smooth for me & my kids❤️
I cannot recommend it enough the staff are amazing the children’s rooms & gardens are wonderful so much space.
I’d like to say a special thank to Jos who was always there for me when I was going through sad family times, she always took the time for a chat ☺️ now I enjoy hearing lots of stories from my son about all the fun he has with her at nursery.
Another thank you to Laurie who my eldest son had a great bond with & he always said Laurie was his favourite 😊
All the girls are amazing with my kids, it’s a very homely setting ❤️
My boys confidence grew & grew at Montessori Explorers, they improved their speaking, numbers, shapes & much more. Even tackled toilet training 👏🏼
I couldn’t of asked for a better nursery to send my boys ❤️
Our children mean the world to us so we need to know they are safe & somewhere we can have full trust in
Montessori Explores is definitely that place ❤️😊👌🏼🧩🧸📚🍼
(I only wish mine could have stay longer)
