Review from Jital U (Mother of Child) published on 21 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my boys (currently aged 2 years 6 months and 3 years 10 months) have been attending this nursery since the age of 15 months. It has been the backbone of their development, teaching at a slow and steady pace but with such enthusiasm. They have received a ton of love and care since starting at 15
months which allowed them to settle in so swiftly, as they are growing the nursery is doing a fine job in transitioning them from a warm home environment to a place of focus and knowledge ready to start school in September.


They have been such a support system to not only the children but to myself and my husband, helping us through tough parenting times including potty training and the terrible two's. I can not recommend this nursery and all its staff enough and look forward to being part of their community for another couple of years.

We have been with the nursery since January and enjoyed watching our daughter settle in and build relationships with the staff. All staff have been very kind and welcoming and our daughter enjoys her days spending time with them and exploring all the activities set out by them.

Review from Sneh G (Mother of Child) published on 21 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Moving my son 2 years ago from his previous nursery to fountain nursery was the best choice I ever made. I can truly say that the fountain nursery has had positive impacts on the growth and development of my son, he is now a happy and inquisitive child. I did not hesitate to also send my daughter as
soon as I could from an early age.


The staff make my children feel so comfortable and like they are at their second home. I am very happy with the curriculum and the fact that they get every child involved in the learning and activities, including the more introverted children. I also love that the nursery promotes a healthy diet and both my children love fruit and vegetables, which means I can spoil my children on the weekends. Proud parents of children that go to Fountain Montessori Nursery!

My daughter attends Fountain Montessori - Edgware. All I can say is wow, what a great experience it has been for me as a nervous/overprotective mum and for my girl who had a hard time settling - but now she is a changed child. She loves going back to the nursery. I am so impressed with the observations
and the homework she comes with. I am so excited to see her progress here. A great choice for me and my family.

The staff at Fountain Montessori have been nothing but caring and nurturing towards my son. I have seen such incredible growth and development in him and I know he is in good hands. The team really do treat the kids as their own. Just yesterday they arranged a Zoom party for his birthday which was so
thoughtful and special. I am sure he will continue to thrive as he moves into his next class.

Great nursery. My son settled very quickly. The staff takes the time to get to know each child. He really looks forward to going into nursery every day. He runs inside which makes me know I’ve made the right choice. Thank you to the staff for making my son feel part of the community and for making me
feel safe in knowing my child is happy.

My child is excelling here, learning a new word every day sometimes even more. Practical life skills taught on a daily basis and reflected at home unprompted. My child is happy and healthy and is cared for as if the child is their own.

I'll proudly say out loud that Fountain Montessori Pre-School was the best choice for my daughter.
She loved the various activities, copy me songs, role-plays and she enjoyed the garden very much.
For me, as a parent, the most important thing was that my daughter was ready for the new adventure.
We
would like to use this opportunity and say thank you to her teachers in Fountain Montessori.

My daughter had a very enjoyable time at nursery, making lots of friends and had a good learning foundation in preparation for reception class. I found the staff and management team friendly and focused on teaching, learning and fun. The nursery had a very positive atmosphere and engaged well with
me as a parent, gaining my full trust in the team.

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.
