When you walk through the doors of this nursery, you can tell that they are different. Many of the other nurseries I visited, they did not even acknowledge that my child existed. At Snowflakes, the whole family was welcomed and made to feel at home. The staff are great, and the activities are great.
I am happy to rate Snowflakes, 5-stars.

In the beginning, I was so nervous to leave my child in the nursery, thinking that how will he stay long hours without me, but Snowflakes staff looked after my child so professionally, and all of them are very caring that I don't feel anxious or nervous anymore knowing that my child is in safe hands.
Thanks
to all of them.

Overall, I am very happy with the care that my son receives at Snowflakes. He is well looked after by the staff, and they are extremely helpful. They genuinely care about his development and are always very welcoming. He has been attending for a few months now and has already made a lot of progress.
I would highly recommend this nursery.

My son has improved significantly in his speech and communication skills within 5-months of attending this nursery. The staff are very caring and alert of my child's needs. The management is very accommodating of requests for timetable changes when my circumstances changed. My son loves the meals he
has at school and enjoys all the Montessori activities he engages in there. I'm very grateful to the staff at this nursery for the excellent care they provide my son with.

Overall, I'm very happy with the nursery staff and the settings. The staff are very friendly, patient and caring. The room leader and managers are very experienced. Every day I have a chance to speak to the staff about my child and received feedback, including a diary, videos and photos electronically,
which helps me to track my child's development.

It's an excellent nursery. My child has thrived while being there, and we even altered moving plans to make sure his younger siblings could go there. My child has been taught valuable life and social skills and actively (mostly) looks forward to going on a Monday morning.


While the outside space

is small, they often take the children to local parks etc, and the outside space when the weather is suitable.

What I like the most about this childcare is that the inside space has lots of room for children to play, and that children are preoccupied with many different activities during the day. I like the idea behind Montessori activities.

The staff here are amazing and really do treat the children as their own. I was worried how my son would settle in as he’s just been at home with me due to Covid, but he now loves it there!
I love how I receive daily updates on how well he eats/sleep and photos of how he’s developing.
The nursery
is always clean, which is even more important at the moment.

This is my second child at Snowflakes, and it is still just as outstanding.
My son attended Snowflakes until the end of last year. He learnt his phonics, numbers and manners. He is now in reception at school and continuing to thrive. He is currently in the higher set, and I’m sure this is thanks to
the teachers at Snowflakes.

Snowflakes isn’t just a nursery but it’s a second home for my daughter. She started the nursery when she was 9 months old and she has been very happy to go to the nursery. The manager and staff are very good and cooperative they have taken very good care of my daughter till date.
My daughter has learnt
so much from the nursery became very confident, when we go to bring her, she doesn’t like to come back she wants to be in the nursery only .... I am truly happy and grateful to the manager and the staff. I think I have made the best decision to put her in Snowflakes Nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I looked at 5 other nurseries before I settled on Snowflakes as they were head and shoulders above the other nurseries. I was concerned about starting my child during a pandemic, but I felt very assured by seeing the standard of hygiene at the nursery. They have also exceeded my expectations in terms
of my daughter's learning and development. I had no idea she would be reading and writing before going to school, but she is!


If you're looking for the best nursery in town, go to Snowflakes!

My son has been attending Snowflakes since 2018. He's made great bonds with the staff. Getting updates every day and throughout the week gives me a great insight into how he spends his time and the activities he takes part in. Since attending this nursery, my son has become so independent and solely
thanks to the lovely staff and management. I can't praise the staff enough. I feel happy and confident leaving my son. Highly recommend this nursery.

My son has been going to this nursery for two years now. I could not be happier with my choice. Staff are caring, experienced and knowledgeable. They genuinely care about my child's development and well being. They tailor activities to each child's interest to build their confidence, teach new skills
and expand their knowledge. When my son developed a stammer, the staff was extremely positive. They knew exactly what to do to help and offered advice and regular feedback.

Under Covid and a lockdown, I was very anxious about starting my daughter at nursery for the first time. But the Staff were very helpful and reassuring throughout the whole process. My daughter has been made to feel very welcome by her teachers and the other children and looks forward to going to nursery
every time. The online/app system they use is a very good way to keep track of my daughter's progress, and the teachers are always very happy to answer questions at dropping off and picking up time.

My son enjoys going to Snowflakes Day Nursery and Montessori. We could not have wished for a better setting for our son. He has made such lovely friends and has close bonds with all the nursery workers. Getting the eyLog observations throughout the week gives me insight into how he spends his time and
all the lovely educational activities he takes part in. He has come on leaps and bounds and has turned into such a happy, confident, and cheeky chap. I think his time at nursery has a lot to do with that. Thank you.

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.
