TESTIMONIALS 2023/24

We have been nothing short of amazed by Little Sponges. Our son comes home beaming and wonderfully exhausted. He has learnt tremendous amounts both in terms of preparation for school as well as general life and social skills which will serve him forever. We now can’t wait for our youngest to start there!

Little Sponges is not just a nursery. It is a special place where children are nourished, respected and loved. You can see your child bloom with joy and serenity. You can feel how important it is for your child to be stimulated with knowledge and gentleness. As a mother, there is nothing more important than knowing your little one is happy, safe and free.

Juliette has absolutely thrived at Little Sponges. Nicole and Simone approach each child as an individual and really get to know them and their quirks. The weekly updates on the parent portal are so insightful and lovely and thoroughly show how they cater to each child's needs. The Montessori framework they apply is perfect for our daughter and we've watched her grow in confidence and in skills since joining at age 2. She comes home telling us about the solar system, how we need to tidy up the ocean and is generally full of giggles and fun talking about her days at Little Sponges. They've been so supportive through some minor separation anxiety and the usual potty training related trials! We could not recommend Little Sponges more and put our second daughter's name down as a very small baby to ensure she can enjoy time there as well!

Little Sponges is a special place where our daughter is happy and able to express her interests and curiosity. She is excited to go to nursery and has made lovely friends. The environment is homely and nurturing with activities being tailored to her interests. She often sings new songs and excitedly tells me about her day. I believe the kindness and patience she is shown reflect in her positive behaviour towards others. The teachers take personal interest in every child and treat them with love and respect. We are very lucky to have our daughter at such a wonderful place and can’t wait for our youngest daughter to start next year.

As an early years teacher myself, I had high standards when choosing the right nursery for my children. Although we have multiple nurseries in under five minutes from where we live, I am so happy we chose Little Sponges for Lena and Daniel. They both settled in quickly and are always looking forward to another day at the nursery. They are learning so much while having a good time, and I am at peace knowing they are happy and well taken care of. Miss Nicole and Miss Simone are truly wonderful teachers, passionate about what they do and are always so kind and nurturing. My children didn’t speak English at all before coming to Little Sponges, but the teachers supported them so well, and they are quickly picking up the language. The weekly updates on the My Montessori Child website are such a nice additional reassurance. Both my husband and I are thrilled to have found such a wonderful nursery and excited for our children to have such a good start to their education.
