The Review Score of 9.1 (maximum of 10) for St Mary's Summerstown Montessori Nursery School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Day Nursery / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Day Nursery receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.681 for St Mary's Summerstown Montessori Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (32 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.681
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Day Nursery to friends and family?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.417 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Mary's Summerstown Montessori Nursery School is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.75
Target of 6 positive Reviews (30 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 4 Reviews ÷ 6 Target = 0.667
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

I am happy to say that both my children will be back at St Mary's Summertown Montessori Nursery for another year. The staff are great with them and always happy to discuss and help with anything. My children are always happy when I pick them up and sometimes don't want to leave! They have definitely learned and experienced so much here.

Amazing nursery and amazing staff caring and warm towards children both mine have attended and I've always been happy at drop off and collection. Catering to all needs and learning through play and lots of extras like ballet football and French highly recommend.

My son has been at the nursery for a few months now, he's having a great time plus learning so much. The staff are super friendly and very professional too.
His speech has come on leaps and bounds.
I will be keeping my son here as long as possible until he starts reception as he's doing so well.
The nursery does all sorts of activity including ballet, football and cooking.
I would definitely recommend the nursery to anyone.

Your lovely boy has made excellent progress this term; he is kind, bubbly and very popular with his peers. He is a pleasure to teach. Thank you for the lovely review.

The whole team are great carers and genuinely take an interest in all the children. After viewing more than 10 nurseries I knew from the moment I walked in, that this was the one. The staff are all mature and easy to talk to, many of whom have worked there for a long time. My daughter loves it there and I love the space, light, trees and grass they get to enjoy, which is rare in London!
The daily activities are great for small children and the skills she has learned are invaluable. I also felt that my child would be cared for and looked after which I did not feel on visiting many other nurseries where you just felt like a number. Well done to the Principal for establishing such a great nursery in Earlsfield/Tooting area.
