I can only recommend Sarah’s Montessori (Westcliff/Chalkwell) because firstly they were the only nursery that had space and secondly he starts in September but it’s really nice there so I would definitely book in for a tour if that isn’t too far from you. Obviously I don’t know how old your little girl is but my boy will be in the 2-4 toddler room and hopefully they have space for younger as they have recently moved there. 💚
le ballon rouge. They are amazing! They take them from 18 months and I wish I moved them there sooner!
@Kay I’ve just had a look on their website and they only take from 2 years, by little girl will be 1 so can’t go there sadly; thank you for the suggestion though! X
@Lauren this was on my list to go view, do they have a baby room as she will be around 1 when she starts nursery x
@Steph my little girl will only be 1 so too young sadly, thank you for the suggestion though! X
@Jess yep they do have a baby room 😊
@Lauren oh brilliant, I couldn’t work out if they did from the video tour on their page. We live very close to there so would be ideal for us 🤞🏼
Twizzle tops in Southend x
@Sarah I’ll have a look thank you for the suggestion! X
Have a look at stepping stones too as that was also towards the top of my list when looking
@Steph I worked there for a while and although I loved the nursery, I didn’t get along with the owner so I won’t be sending my little one there but thank you for the suggestion ☺️
My LO goes to Cockleshell, we originally had a place at stepping stones but I didn’t like the way the owner wanted a full months payment 8 months prior to my daughter joining (i was 4 weeks PP and she was pressuring me for payment). I choose cockleshell because of the staff, they are incredible - my little girl loves being there.
@Georgia yeah completely understand why you would feel uncomfortable with that! Glad you found a nursery that was right for you guys! Sadly cockleshells is a little bit far away from us as I don’t drive x
Hey Jess, have a look at Oak House. Adaline really liked it xx

@Hannah oh I forgot about oakhouse, I’ll have a look. Thank you!
@Jess they’ve been really helpful for us, they reply really quickly to emails (Nina who responds is lovely) x
@Hannah that’s good to know, thank you! ☺️
Royal day village is good
@Steph my LO is just about to start here, heard really good things about them!
I can't fault cockleshell . They have been fab with my daughter who struggled to settle initally. Stepping Stones was originally top of my list but they are so expensive I couldn't justify what we would have been paying. Hope you find one you like. 😊
Snaps day nursery in westcliff is amazing!! X
