Review from J M (Mother of Child) published on 25 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My Daughter has been coming here for 10 months now and has loved every second. From joining Snowdrop as a baby to now being in their toddler classes, she has made some wonderful relationships with the staff and also the children. Their days are so varied and she learns lots being there each week. The staff are kind, caring and attentive and nothing is ever to much trouble. You can really see how much the whole team care about all the children there and go above and beyond each day. They are regularly in contact with you and always greet the children with a warm welcome. We get regular updates about her journey with them and what they are up to. Really couldn't recommend enough, I feel very relaxed when she comes here knowing she is well cared for and enjoying her days.

Review from Trish D (Grandmother of Child) published on 19 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

They are very organised. Do many interesting activities with the children. They take photos of my grandchild enjoying the activities, and she is always happy and smiling. She has been there part-time for about three months and has settled in very well. We get a detailed itinerary of meals, sleep time, nappy change, etc. Would definitely recommend Snowdrop House.

My daughter has been going to Snowdrop House since for nearly three years. She settled in so well, and the staff are so caring and nurturing; they do amazing activities with the children. She’s always excited to go in, and her development has excelled there.

Overall Experience

Very caring and attentive staff. Our children are well looked after, and our daughter has developed incredibly since joining a year ago. Our son has now started, and the staff bring the babies into the toddler room at the end of the day, which they love! The facilities are great, very clean and a vast variety of educational and Montessori toys and activities for them. Thank you to the staff!

Review from I M (Mother of Child) published on 6 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I had my older son attend since he was a year old, and he absolutely loved it there and was ‘school ready’ when he left for the reception. I never hesitated for my second son, who is now a year old to attend this same nursery, even if it meant I had to go in the opposite direction to where my older son’s current school is. I am reassured how all the staff are very much hands-on in ensuring my child is safe, loved, well cared for and supported in his every milestone and early years learning.

Overall Experience
Our little one started at Snowdrop a few weeks ago, and we are so happy and impressed with everything. The staff are wonderful, it is extremely well run, and our little one has settled in really quickly. We get updates throughout the day, and the activities are amazing (some of them we’ve tried to copy at home).

We highly recommend Snowdrop and its excellent team.

Staff are fantastic, and everything seems good. From what we see in the pictures, he is having a great time. Can’t really tell you more as we are not there. There seems to be a good variety of stuff for them to do, and he comes home very happy.

Review from Heather O (Mother of Child) published on 6 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both of our children have attended nurseries in the Snowdrop House Montessori Group, covering five years. We could not be happier with the service provided and have been impressed throughout by the professional and caring manner of all staff and management.
The Snowdrop House setting is very large, with several age-appropriate rooms for the children, a large garden and, even better - use of the adjoining community centre hall. This gives the children a large area in which to play and develop.
Parents are given in person daily and termly updates as to their child's progress and have access to an app for further information, updates and photos which is well used by staff.

Our daughter has always enjoyed attending nursery and speaks often about her day there when she is at home. Staff take account of her individual needs and interests and are notably well aware of her foibles! We never experience any objections at drop off. We highly recommend the Snowdrop House Montessori Group.

Review from M C (Father of Child) published on 6 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Snowdrop House (Primrose House site) has been a fantastic place for my daughter to develop. The staff are wonderful, welcoming and kind every morning, and she always walks in with a smile on her face. The regular individual and group updates are useful, so we always know what she has been up to - from celebrating Lunar New Year to looking after an ant farm. The setting is small-ish, so it means the groups aren't massive, and my daughter can make strong relationships with staff and the other children. There is outside play space with a covered area for when wet or sunny. The food from catering company goes down well - is rarely hungry, and as always with these things eats far more vegetables and adventurous food at nursery!
Contrasting to another setting, my impression is she does few visits outside the nursery. This is only thing I'd have preferred to see more of.

Overall, my daughter has thrived here and developed great relationships with staff and the other children, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Overall Experience

Our son loves Snowdrop House. He is so excited to go to nursery every day. The staff are professional and friendly. We get thorough reports every day of what he’s been up to, and staff give us a handover at the end of the day. There are so many activities available every day and the staff come up with loads of new ones all the time. We feel very happy.

My daughter loves coming here; she settled in very quickly and runs to the door now. Great, friendly staff. Daily feedback is always given on collection and the app. Great nursery, will be sending my next daughter there too in a few month's time.

Review from Suzanne M (Mother of Child) published on 1 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We’ve been a Snowdrop family for four years and now have two boys enrolled. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Snowdrop, as they have an incredible standard of care.
Communication from the nursery is excellent each day - from the online app to the handover conversations, we feel like we get a great sense of what the boys are working on and how they are doing during the day.
The manager and her team genuinely care about the children - they know their names and interact with them, and my boys light up when they come into nursery each day (better yet if they run into one of the teachers in the grocery shop - it’s like they’ve seen a celebrity!).
The teachers take real care of the children, days are planned out meticulously, and I can see the growth in both children, especially as my older son prepares for school this year.

We absolutely love Snowdrop and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely nursery.

Absolutely fantastic nursery for our daughter - she is well cared for and has grown so much during her time there both socially and intellectually. We couldn't be happier and have already booked our second child for next year.

Overall Experience
My son started at Snowdrop House at the beginning of January. He has settled in amazingly well. He always has a smile on his face when I drop him off and when I pick him up.
There are plenty of updates throughout the day with pictures, and he’s always smiling in the pictures.
The updates at the end of the day are informative, and the staff are friendly and helpful.

I’d highly recommend the nursery.

Our daughter has been at Snowdrop for a couple of months now; she is very settled and is happy to go every day.
The staff seem kind and friendly. The manager is amazing at what she does; she’s been very accommodating for us as a family. She’s always visible and on hand for a chat or to deal with concerns.
Activities are great; they do the messy things I don’t really get the chance to do at home.

Overall, we are happy with the nursery!
