What Parents Say About Millfield Montessori
We’re grateful for the wonderful feedback from families who’ve entrusted their little ones to Millfield Montessori.
Here're some testimonials they’ve shared.
Maggie - Spalding
My son has been staying with Dee for four months now and I couldn't be happier with the level of care given to him.
Dee's level of professionalism and thoughtfulness whilst watching my son has been spectacular and she has always been happy to update and reassure me during the day.
The setting is spacious and well equipped with a separate room for little ones to get a good nap whilst monitored, and a brilliant outdoor space with lots of fun activities! The site itself is extremely secure and lots of parking for parents at drop off and pick up.
My relationship with Dee and the relationship she has with my son is more akin to leaving him with a family member than with a childminder. He is always happy now when I drop him off and big smiles when I pick him up.
Dee is the third childminder I have used through this site; the first two both shut down their settings and I had to seek alternative childcare for my first son. With Dee I feel confident that she is open for the long haul and that she is committed to creating an amazing setting where children can grow and flourish, and to find that assurance of longevity of service is rare.
Comparably, I wish Dee had been open at the time I was looking for my first son as I feel he would have had a better experience with a childminder.
To sum up, Dee is exceptional in her childcare experience and the level of care she gives to all children in her care and I would fully recommend her to anyone

I was so apprehensive to return to work and to leave my baby. He is my third baby and I was devastated when I realised there were no spaces in the local recommended nursery settings. I’d never really considered looking at childminders, but I am so glad I did. As soon as we went to Dee’s for an initial visit we were met with kindness and warmth. I felt so comfortable and could tell my son did too. The main play room is spacious and calming and full of a variety of toys/activities for everyone. There’s a separate room for sleeping and down time which even I could’ve fallen asleep in! 😂
A few months in and everything is wonderful and our beautiful boy is thriving. He’s absolutely fine when being dropped off in the morning which I wasn’t expecting so soon, as he’s a super clingy baby. Dee has been very understanding of personal circumstances and very helpful in accommodating us. We can’t wait to continue to watch our boy learn and grow with the help of Dee and her lovely apprentice. This place is a god send and we feel so lucky our baby gets to be here.
Thank you for helping us shape him into his lovely, cheeky self. ♥️♥️

We brought our 7 year old son to Millfield Montessori this week during the half-term holiday 8-4pm. Dee was so helpful from the get-go and thoroughly explained everything to us & answered all of our questions. The setting is beautiful. My son loves going to Millfield Montessori & always tells me about how great his day was. Dee is so calm & nurturing & I would 100% recommend her to other parents that are looking for childcare! 😊

I needed to go back to work 2 days a week when my child was 3 months old. I was really apprehensive about leaving him with someone else, especially with him being so young. After searching for the right setting, we eventually found Dee. We were welcomed for an initial meet and greet and a tour around the setting, and we were instantly put at ease. I explained my apprehensions and Dee put my worries at rest. I received frequent updates about my child’s day, along with photos.
After 3 months of my child attending 2 days a week, I needed to increase my days with her. Dee was very accommodating, looked into the options straight away and the additional days were arranged within a couple of days with no issues from Dee.
My child always smiles at Dee when I take him each morning and is always content and happy when collecting him at the end of the day.
I have absolute faith and trust in Dee to look after my child, and I would not look anywhere else. They have a lovely bond with Dee and her own children which is lovely to see. My child is progressing ahead of his developmental time due to the time and effort that Dee puts in whilst he is in her care.
I would 100% recommend Dee, she is a home from home.

Millfield Montessori has been nothing short of incredible for our family! As a mother, nothing matters more than knowing your child is in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. From the moment my daughter walked through their door, she was welcomed with warmth, and the biggest smile from Dee. Dee is an absolute gem. She's so gentle, patient, welcoming, and truly invested in our daughter's growth. Dee doesn't just "watch" the children but nurture them to build confidence, independence, and a genuine love for learning.
Every morning, my daughter rushes in with excitement, and then when I come to pick her up, she's buzzing with smiles and stories of what she’s learnt and the fun she’s had. That joy and enthusiasm speak volumes about the level of care and dedication at Millfield Montessori. The space is also beautifully designed for children because it is always clean, feels safe, and is filled with engaging activities. They also spend plenty of time outdoors, which I love! And as a parent, I always feel informed and included because Dee's communication is top-notch, and I know exactly what my daughter is up to each day. Millfield Montessori isn’t just a childminder setting for me, it’s like a second home!
If you want a place where your child will be cherished, inspired, supported and receive great care in every way, then you should look no further! I couldn’t recommend Dee and Millfield Montessori more highly. Thank you, Dee, for giving my child a beautiful start in life! 💖

We were very fortunate to discover the setting and also have the opportunity to work alongside Dee. We removed our daughter from her previous setting as we did not feel the warmth and care that Dee now provides which has encouraged our daughter to thrive in her setting.
The setting is very accommodating and has been more than flexible in meeting our needs as parents to work but also supporting and developing our child’s education. Our daughter feels nothing but excitement when she knows she is attending the setting and received a very warm welcome.
I strongly recommend the use of this service.
