Snowflakes is an amazing nursery with kind, caring and nurturing staff. My son has flourished with the help of his teachers and always goes to nursery happy and excited for the day ahead. My son has special educational needs and he has 1-2-1 time with his key person to expand on his skills. The management
and senco have been supportive and helpful in all aspects of his care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Snowflakes Nursery has been an incredible start for both of my children. My son has now moved on to school, and it's clear that the strong foundation built at Snowflakes has set him up for success-he's confident, independent, and excelling academically. The amazing team have made all the difference.
My daughter still attends, and I have no doubt she will benefit just as much. Highly recommend Snowflakes for any parent looking for a caring and supportive nursery

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandson attends the nursery. During his period at the nursery, I noted a significant development in his speech, coordination, listening and numeracy skills. Such progress/improvement is mainly a function of the teaching staff at the nursery, their presence and dedication in supporting the children.
Thus,
I will end by saying that it is an environment that all parents should embrace.

We are delighted with Snowflakes Day Nursery where our son started at nine months old and is flourishing. The sessions are well organised, filled with engaging activities. The staff are incredibly trustworthy and provide a safe, nurturing. Environment. We appreciate the regular photos/videos, and observations,
which keep us informed of our son's progress. A daily log is well updated on time after he leaves each day and overall, we are very happy with the care and support he is receiving.

Review from Josh G (Father of Child) published on 25 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been going to Snowflakes for nearly three years, from one and a half years old until now. Throughout this time, the nursery has been a fantastic place for him to learn and develop. The transition and change over the last three years have been amazing. It's a fun, engaging and nurturing environment
that brings out the most in my child, and he learns so much. Not just that, but they also challenge him and encourage him to think for himself, develop new ideas and question the world.
The teachers are excellent, extremely caring and considerate, and they genuinely have the best interests of our children at heart.

I can not express how happy I am with the Snowflakes Day Nursery & Montessori. From the moment we enrolled our son, the staff demonstrated a genuine passion for nurturing and educating young minds.
The facilities are outstanding, providing a safe and stimulating environment for children to explore,
learn and play. The teachers are not only highly skilled but also incredibly caring, ensuring each child's individual needs are met. It's truly been a wonderful journey of growth and I'm excited to see my son continue to thrive here!

I am pleased to share my reveiw of Snowflakes Day Nursery and Montessori. The staff's genuine care for children is evident throughout their nurturing interaction and attention to each child's needs. Their weekly updates of my child are reassuring and let me know they are having a good time. All of the
children's activities seem very well thought out.
The Montessori approach of the day nursery has helped my child complete daily tasks independently. The meals are nutritious and balanced, and the menu is thoughtfully designed.
I am impressed by the secure environment they've created. Open communication from the staff, keeps me informed about my child's day fostering a sense of trust and partnership.
I cannot recommend Snowflakes enough and commend the staff for their efforts.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started nursery at just 4.5 months, which is earlier than the average, and I have to say the team has been excellent and supportive during the onboarding. They really listened and adjusted to my son's needs and made sure I was comfortable too. The whole team is really professional and smiley;
you can really see they truly care about the children they are looking after. They are stimulating through to ensure they can develop their skills and keep them happy. The best indication for me is when I see the smile my son gives to the team every time we arrive.

The staff are very friendly and polite; they really care about the children, and the love they display from the children really makes the nursery a very happy place for my daughter. I leave my child every morning knowing that she is being well looked after. She also loves going to nursery, and her development
has been great. I couldn't recommend the nursery more.

It's been really good. My son has been going to Snowflakes since May. Staff always come to me when I am picking him up to tell me about his day. Always treating me with respect and caring for my son. I would stay with him on his first days of settling in, and I felt comfortable, and my son is safe at
nursery. I feel the nursery is very organised and the staff are very professional. I am really happy with my son's development.

My daughter started pre-school in January 2022. Her previous nursery closed, and I naturally had my concerns about how she would settle; however, all the staff here went above and beyond to adapt and welcome her with such love and care from the first settling-in day. She has developed and learned so
much more than I was expecting, and that has made her "school ready" more than I thought was possible. I feel happy that my daughter is happy, safe and loved, which makes me so relaxed at drop-off. Thank you to everyone who has made this experience so invaluable for me as a mum and to my daughter, who loves coming to Snowflakes.

Brilliant Nursery! My son has been attending this nursery for about a year now. Staff are extremely caring and supportive and always ready to go the extra mile for every child when in need. Since attending here, my son has become more confident and social. It was the best decision I made sending him
here!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.800)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.800) out of 10 for Snowflakes Day Nursery & Montessori is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 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 5.000 for Snowflakes Day Nursery & Montessori is calculated as follows: ( (108 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 5
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Snowflakes Day Nursery & Montessori is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 50 number of registered child places is 10. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.9
  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.
