Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Belfield Montessori is the best nursery ever, a caring and loving environment for kids to learn.
The staff are professional, knowledgable, a second family for children and build strong bonds with them. There are a variety of activities that the kids take part in, helping them to develop new skills
and grow their potential.
There are trips arranged for kids (ex: zoo, farm, library, shops, etc), very well organized and put in place. All the children's progress is followed by the staff step by step, with encouragement, trust, innovation and happiness. There is a strong relationship with parents having parents evenings, reports and the open door for any worries/concerns, etc. My daughter had a bad experience with another nursery but her coming to Belfield showed the difference from the first day.
Belfield Montessori was and will be like a second family for my child. I would highly recommend Belfield Montessori. Thank you Belfield Montessori for everything what you done for us.

Belfield Montessori is a fantastic nursery, all of the staff are so friendly and my daughter looks forward to nursery days, constantly talking about her carers at home. My daughter has developed so much with them and I cannot fault our experience. The staff take the time to get to know each child and
really care for them. My daughter has enjoyed trying new foods there, doing a range of activities including messy play and yoga, and forming friendships with other babies.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My 17-month-old boy goes to this nursery in Ruby Room. The staff seems very caring and attentive.
They helped him settle in well in the last three months.
Management send regular communications regarding updates.
They had a well-organised parents' evening where we had detailed feedback about our
child.
My only small criticism is their IT system, they post photos of the children and their activities but we are not able to see them until the end of the week and sometimes not until the week after. Not sure if this is everyone's experience with the app.
Overall, it's such a lovely nursery where children are thriving. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Belfield is simply outstanding. Our daughter has been there since she was one and is now shortly leaving to start school and we could not have asked for a more amazing nursery. All the staff- the managers, the room staff, key workers, lunchtime staff, the chef - all continually go above and beyond to
ensure a safe, happy, thriving environment for all of the children.
My daughter has really thrived at Belfield - socially, educationally, physically and emotionally. The learning is of a very high standard, whilst the pastoral and emotional care is second to none.
I would recommend Belfield to anyone. It has given my daughter an amazing start in life and will always hold a special place in our hearts.

My daughter has been at Belfield Montessori Day Nursery for six months now and she has loved it from day one. The staff are kind and caring and organise a wide range of fun activities for the children both indoors and outside in the garden. The meals provided are balanced and nutritious. I get regular
updates on my daughter's progress both in person and via the app and communication about what's going on at nursery is also frequent and clear.

We love this nursery for our son. He has been at Belfield Montessori Day Nursery since he was 13 months old and transitioned from baby to toddler to pre-school room. The staff helped him settle (which took my son a while), to him smoothly moving from room to room and his independence and learning excelling
at each stage. We can't praise the quality of the staff enough. We will soon be sending our second son too. Thanks for everything!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Belfield Montessori has provided a safe, warm, and nurturing environment for my daughter from the age of 10 months old. The staff are all so warm and trustworthy, it makes the process of starting the nursery much easier. Staff are open to adapting their ways to accommodate the needs of the child and
putting their needs first. The key workers my daughter has had have built great relationships with my daughter and put me at ease, their care has been outstanding. You can tell the staff cares deeply for the children in their care here. One of the best things has been the stability and consistency of staff members present day to day in the nursery, which I believe is so important for the children to thrive. The nursery are always adding to its collection of great facilities to promote play and learning through play for the little ones. The nursery is like a home from home for us.

Belfield offers a safe and nurturing environment for the children in their care and we are so grateful we found it. The staff show such warmth and the children love going. A huge effort is made to get the children ready for school with a focus on numbers and letters in a fun way. The days are structured
yet varied and communication with parents is clear. The food offered focuses on a healthy balanced diet. We would definitely recommend it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Belfield Montessori is a nurturing, caring and loving environment for kids to learn. The staff are professional, knowledgable, endlessly patient and build strong relationships with their charges.
There are a range of activities that the kids partake in, ensuring each day is varied and encourages children
to learn new skills and reach their potential. There are trips arranged for the children and these are well organised and so much fun.
The staff encourage children to be independent but always provide lots of encouragement and support. There is a strong emphasis on the relationships with parents, with detailed reports and parents evenings, along with an open-door policy for any concerns.
My two daughters have attended Belfield and I couldn’t be happier with their development and progress. The Belfield atmosphere is very positive and gives the feel of a family environment. I would highly recommend this nursery. Thank you to all at Belfield!

My son started at Belfield in September 2017 and is due to leave in August 2019 to start school. My son has attended three days a week throughout his time at Belfield. He has developed so much during his time at Belfield and we are amazed how much he has learnt through play. He loves all the messy play,
sensory play opportunities, stories and songs and all the staff have been so loving in his care. His keyworker was truly outstanding in all his care and we will be miss Belfield after he leaves. It has been a home from home for our son and he even asks to go Nursery at the weekend.

One word - Fantastic!
Both my children have progressed to reception from here having achieved and often exceeded the EYF criteria. Having used Belfield Montessori Day Nursery continuously for over four years it is clear what a well run and nurturing environment it is. The fact that the dame teachers
who taught my daughter are now teaching my son 4 years later speaks volumes about not just the consistency of care for the children but also the working environment for the staff. Very rare qualities in teaching these days.

Belfield has provided a warm, safe and nurturing environment for our little girl from the age of 2 to 4. All members of staff are extremely friendly and approachable and greet each child by their name. Settling in sessions are well thought out and organised. There are lots of organised activities from
sessions with an external sports coach and movers and shakers to outings to the local playground, theatre and duck pond. We couldn’t have asked for more from the nursery.

My son has been in this nursery since 2015. The nurturing environment and the positive and caring attitude of staff and management alike, have put both mother and son at much ease. Everything is pretty smooth sailing and staff exude so much warmth, they feel like family to us. Super pleased with the
education and their enrichment programmes too. Staff turnover is low which speaks volumes about well being of staff members.

We have had a great experience at Belfield and my son has been very happy there. The level of learning is excellent, I have been very impressed that my son knows so much of his letter and numbers at such a young age, and he continues to surprise me with his knowledge of things such as planets, flags
etc. Teaching staff have been excellent, I have rated as "good" rather than "excellent" only because there has been quite a high turnover of staff but the teachers themselves have been great especially in the sapphire room. We are very sad to be leaving and would definitely recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.858)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.858) out of 10 for Belfield Montessori Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.858 for Belfield Montessori Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.858
  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 Belfield Montessori Day Nursery is based on 10 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 43 number of registered child places is 8.6, which has been reached with 10 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.
