Our child has absolutely thrived at this nursery. The staff are caring, patient and genuinely take the time to understand each child's personality and needs. He has grown so much in confidence, independence and communication since joining. Every day he comes home happy and we can see the different skills
he had been learning. We're so grateful for the nurturing, fun and supportive environment they've created.

Fountain Montessori is a wonderful place for my son. The teachers are kind and patient, and he's always excited to go and learn new things. It's lovely to see him growing in confidence every day. Fountain Montessori feels like family. The teachers nurture each child with love, patience, and respect
- qualities that mean so much to us.

Fountain Montessori set up an Excellent Diwali celebration for the children. It was very nice to see the children engaging, and the story of Diwali was explained very well. The food was also on point.

As a mother I had a peace of mind when I found fountain Montessori. There is few things about fountain Montessori that every parent would want for their child is an organised, well structured and caring environment. Children learn the basics of their life in fountain Montessori which is very important.
I'm more than satisfied from their efforts.

Review from David C (Father of Child) published on 4 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I decided on this nursery because of the large internal and external enclosed space available.
The staff are polite and professional, well trained and are actively involved. I received regular feedback and insights into what my child is learning, new things being picked up and any behaviours that
need attention to.
Outdoor activity space is large and private, internal space is accommodating.
Broad range of activities for my child to learn and build skills from. These skills can be seen back at home from when they are learnt in nursery.
Nursery staff, Admin and management have been responsive to questions, and any concerns are given time to be discussed.
Nursery is reasonable priced for the high quality of care and environment that it provides.

A great nursery. Our baby daughter has grown in confidence and independance since attending. The teachers are attentive to the children's needs and are very good at tailoring each child's development. All the teachers are friendly and are great communicators, the care is second to none.

Review from A W (Mother of Child) published on 4 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent nursery, they genuinely track our child's development. Active teaching of all essentials (colours numbers shapes), bigger and smaller motor skills, brushing teeth :-), music lessons, even french lessons. We are beyond happy as we moved to this nursery from another nursery in the area where
they didn't do any of this.


This nursery is genuinely concerned for the child and the Child's feeling and development. For example, they called me to collect him once (only once!) in the previous they called me every second day for some reason, and they were genuinely concerned for him and we discussed steps of what would be best for him . Our previous nursery just coldly quoted the policy in T&Cs and told me to be there within an hour latest.


There is a very human and kind approach at Fointain Montessori Edgware. The staff is exceptional, leo loves all the teachers there. They go totally beyond what they need to do, often checking in and checking on how parents are doing. exceptional

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The nursery has been fantastic with the children. I have seen them grow in multiple areas in just a few months. I have a set of twin girls in the nursery:
They communicate clearer, they are developing writing skills, their sense of personal responsibility and relative independence is evident and overall,
we're pleased and impressed with their development. Their teachers are friendly and personable, to us as well as to the children (as far as we can tell). All in all we believe Fountain Montessori has been a great help to our children.

We couldn't be more grateful to the wonderful staff for making our little one's transition so smooth! When our son first started, we were naturally a bit nervous, but the patience, care, and warmth from the nursery team have been incredible.


Thanks to their support, he has settled in beautifully

and now absolutely loves going to nursery! The staff have gone above and beyond to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. It's amazing to see his confidence grow each day.


A huge thanks to all the carers for your kindness and dedication. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful nursery!

I just wanted to say thank you, to you and your team. I am indebted to the service you and your team provided my son. He loved going to nursery and came leaps and bounds from the first day he walked in. I want to thank you for your nurturing care and all the help in developing his mind, behaviour and
social skills. It was all summed up at the graduation, where I proudly saw him stand patiently, engage with his cohort and participate with his own lines. You have been a vital part of his development and deserve so much credit. Again, thank you so much for everything you all did for him. I know he misses you all deeply and would go back in a heartbeat. Good luck to you all, I wish you all the best! Keep up the amazing work!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.860)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.860) out of 10 for Fountain Montessori Nursery & Pre-School - Edgware 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 38 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 38 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 4.860 for Fountain Montessori Nursery & Pre-School - Edgware is calculated as follows: ( (392 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 450 Ratings = 4.86
  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 Fountain Montessori Nursery & Pre-School - Edgware is based on 38 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 38 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.
