My daughter will have been at Eilmar for just over two years and she has had a great experience. She is welcomed by staff every morning and trusts her carers. She talks to them non stop and they provide a broad range of activities for the kids. My daughter has friends there and speaks of her carers
fondly. She will miss it!

Our son has been attending the nursery for over 3 years now and we are really happy with our chosen nursery. Our son is very happy at the nursery and always speaks so fondly of his teachers. The range of activities that the nursery incorporates into the learning day is exceptional and we have really
seen a difference in our son; he has thrived at this nursery. We look forward to having a similiar experience with his sibling who will be joining next year.

Great facilities and lots of activities arranged for the little ones. Fantastic space and outdoor time from baby to pre school in the garden divided into two areas. Great awareness and setting for safety including clear illness management policies. Experienced staff who ve looked after both of my children
since they were young babies. Especially baby care was amazing and detailed ( never had rash bump and great attention on their food and milk taken as well as emotions ) I enjoy to see their photos and report of their activities and achievements. Friendly and hard working staff.
Staff turnover and price are reasonable and understandable.

I am very pleased with how staff and facilities have supported my nephew at Eilmar Nursery. My nephew was extremely shy and not confident playing with other children. However, coming to this nursery has helped him develop his social skills and confidence. Staff are genuinely caring, the environment
and learning space is amazing too! We explored other nurseries before signing up and Eilmar was the nursery my sister and I both found well equipped and nurturing. I recommend this nursery to anyone looking to support their child's education.

Amazing nursery and school with wonderful staff who are highly qualified and supportive with my daughter's needs. They have provided my very shy daughter with confidence and have always supported her to do her best. I also had my son who graduated from this school to follow his next educational journey
and can proudly say I am very pleased with my children's progress. The manager is also very kind and supportive. I recommend this school to all families as it can be difficult to find a suitable nursery and school with staff who genuinely care. Thank you to all the staff for their hard work!

For a few months now, since my daughter has been attending nursery I am satisfied with the attention given to her. She feels good at nursery and adapted quickly. In the morning, she runs to the door, she tries many new things and is very interested in everything that happens. From my point of view,
the nursery offers children very good and beautiful development. The food doesn't match what I feed her at home but I don't see a problem with her trying other things at nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.776)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.776) out of 10 for Eilmar Montessori Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.776 for Eilmar Montessori Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (253 Excellents x 5) + (66 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 322 Ratings = 4.776
  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 Eilmar Montessori Day Nursery is based on 27 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8, which has been reached with 27 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.
