Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started at Snowflakes Day Nursery in September 20223. She found it a little hard to settle in at first but the teachers were so welcoming and friendly that she settled in nicely. She made new friends and enjoys doing different activities at nursery. She comes home excited and tells us all
about her day. She has learnt a lot in the space of four months and she is very proud of herself. She has started using the toilet on her own and that was a big achievement for her. She has learnt to spell her name and other great achievements. I am very happy for my daughter to have amazing teachers supporting her. Always welcoming.

Since we made the decision to change my son's nursery and put him in the Snowflakes Day Nursery & Montessori, we have seen excellent development in him. He has build his confidence and has become more independent. All the staff are experienced and care about my child. This is the best nursery.

I have seen excellent pastoral care across the nursery. Operational processes established by the nursery, including daily app based communication, is very good. Learning is well-structured and is across various dimensions that has supported in overall development of my daughter. Most importantly, both
we as a parent and my daughter are well happy, and she cannot wait in the mornings to go to nursery. Thanks to all staff for their caring and loving environment.

Since we made the decision to change our son's nursery and put him in Snowflakes, our son excelled in his development. he started to love going to nursery, his social development is excellent, he is outgoing, confident, speaks clearly and with confidence. His understanding and knowledge of family life,
friendships, animals, numbers and letters have become excellent. All the staff are experienced, show care and nurturing to all the children. Snowflakes Day Nursery and Montessori goes above and beyond with the quality of care education they teach. We look forward to sending our little baby to this nursery when it is time.

Review from Andreea R (Mother of Child) published on 7 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I could not be happier with the progress my son has made throughout his time at Snowflakes Day Nursery and Montessori Northolt. The nursery environment is truly a home away from home where the staff look after the children as one of their own. Even when my son would be upset at drop off, mainly in the
first months, I knew he'd feel better in no time and so I never felt bad like us parents do sometimes. He literally runs to go into the nursery and has such a great relationship with the staff which shows how much effort they put into their work. Everyone, from the rooms staff, to the office staff, to the management team, work together as a great unit to develop the children in the best way. Thank you for everything you do!

After trying two different nurseries in the area for my son, we were finally lucky to find Snowflakes Day Nursery and Montessori where we saw our son flourishing, happy and improving at all levels! The activities are varied, very engaging and child-centered. The Teachers and staff are kind, supportive
and professional! Even the food menu is amazingly diversified and healthy! We couldn't be luckier to have our son enrolled here!

What can I say about Snowflakes Day Nursery and Montessori, whatever I say won't be enough to describe my experience. My daughter developed so well, she's very happy and confident. Staff and teachers are welcoming and positive. My daughter learnt not only about the world and essential skills at her
age but she was also ready to join reception confident on maths and English. Thanks to everyone who contributed to her development.

It's been over five years since my elder son entered Snowflakes on his first day, now he is already in year one, and my daughter now has been in Snowflakes for 2.5 years. I am very grateful to all the staff in Snowflakes for taking care of my two children, all of them are very patient and helpful, and
my kids are well looked after and learned a lot there. Especially want to say thank you to the manager; she always gave me help and advice when I needed it. Thank you for all the staff’s hard work.

My four-year-old has shown great improvement since he joined the nursery last year. He socialises much more and has made friends too. Has learnt to read and write and is learning maths now. Lots of co-curricular activities and a variety of learning activities. Overall, a good place to have your child
in.

I have been sending my daughter for about a year and a half now, and I could not be happier or more appreciative of the care they provide for her. Every day she comes home telling me about the new things she has learnt, and their wide variety of topics is incredible. I trust them all implicitly, and
I can see that they genuinely care for my daughter, which is truly the best thing about the nursery. The teachers are all so lovely and approachable, and feedback is shared daily, so we feel very involved in our child’s development.

I have sent my two boys to Snowflakes Day Nursery & Montessori, the elder one is in year three, and the younger one is going to go this year. The nursery is outstanding. Both of them were looked after very well. They have excellent staff who give attention to detail to every child. Staff is very patient
and polite and works really hard to nurture every child. Nursery is very inclusive they celebrate all the festivals. My kids enjoyed the food served in the nursery. And the Montessori is very educational, kids learn a lot before they start reception at school. I am highly grateful to the manager and her staff for their perseverance in putting in hard work to nurture my kids.

My son attends Snowflakes Day Nursery & Montessori, and since joining, I can see how confident he has become. He absolutely loves it, and I am happy he has already made friends. The staff are friendly and interactive; they have different activities for the children like science experiments, computers,
cooking and also Montessori free play. As my son is very active, he enjoys joining in all the activities. I am happy to see him learning new skills as well as seeing how independent he is becoming. You can tell the staff care about the children as they give you detailed feedback at the end of each day. I am glad I found this nursery, and I am confident this is the right nursery for my son to thrive in. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter has been going to the nursery for about four months. The teachers are amazing, informative and loving. They always communicate and are transparent about everything. I was nervous at first, but I am comfortable here now. She loves it and made many new friends. I love the safety measures they
have in place and feel super safe. If you are looking for quality care in a safe and fun environment, then this is the place for you. Thank you.

My two children attend Snowflakes Day Nursery, and I could not ask for better care for them. Seeing them learning and mastering new skills assures me I made the right choice joining Snowflakes. The staff and management are being supportive and friendly, ready to help and sort revert issues that may

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.985)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.985) out of 10 for Snowflakes Day Nursery & Montessori is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.985 for Snowflakes Day Nursery & Montessori is calculated as follows: ( (260 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.985
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Snowflakes Day Nursery & Montessori is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 73 number of registered child places is 14.6, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
