The kids are well taken care of. They are very interactive and feel a lot at home. The staff listen to the demands of the child and cater to their needs.

I am so pleased that I decided to choose Elimar Nursery for my son. Amazing place for my child to develop and learn daily. Very caring staff and always easy to reach out and share everything regarding your child. My son always looks forward to going to his practitioner and play with his friends.

Review from U K (Mother of Child) published on 8 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter began attending the Eilmar Nursery on September 24 at the age of 14 months. Eilmar has been there for many years. I can now see that she is beginning to enjoy the nursery and becomes bored at home with me. The staff is professional, amiable, qualified and, most importantly, kind. They give
daily updates, prompt app updates, daily photos/videos and quarterly progress reports. My daughter is developing great independence and many other skills. The nursery has involved her with numerous activities I would not have been able to do at home, such as messy plays. These activities satisfy her curious little mind. However, Eilmar should consider introducing a child-friendly settling-in process (like many other nurseries), as their current approach is a little hard for any little child. It is highly challenging for any little one to accept the strange environment with unfamiliar people from day one onwards. Due to this approach, my daughter experienced separation anxiety for a short period of time.

Review from S M (Father of Child) published on 6 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter has adapted well to the nursery, exceeding my expectations. She was very attached to her mum but now enjoys attending. Big smiles all the way. The staff are fantastic and I'm still amazed by her progress, even though it took about four months (approx). Their regular feedback was invaluable.
Regarding the settling-in process, a gentler approach would have been preferable to minimise the child's distress. The abrupt separation caused significant parental stress, as our daughter's adjustment took four months. Unlike other nurseries, we could not remain with her during the initial familiarisation period. A more accommodating and child-centred approach would have facilitated a smoother transition. This is such an important stage in any child's life and can make it an interesting change rather than an unpleasant experience.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My eldest son joined Eilmar in 2020 and my youngest has been there since July 2024. Our experience has been nothing short of fantastic, with the nursery manager, extremely supportive of both our kids. My youngest actually doesn't want to leave when I try to collect him, which speaks volumes about how
much he enjoys his time there. Would highly recommend this Montessori to anyone.

I sent my eldest to Eilmar (started in Sept 2021) and now my youngest goes here too. The kids have thrived there and always come back very happy. We've had a very smooth experience at the nursery and have always had great interactions with the staff. It's a lovely setting and we are very happy with
Eilmar and the experience we've had.

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.
