Our daughter has been attending Snowdrop for just over a year. She loves it! Her key worker is extraordinary. Our daughter adores her. Her development over the last year has been incredible. We simply could not be happier, nor wish for a better place for our daughter to thrive.

Review from Ellie G (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our 9-month-old daughter has just started at Snowdrop House, and we are over the moon with how settled she is already. The whole transition was made so easy with lots of information about the nursery day/routine, settling in sessions, meeting the ladies that would be taking care of our little one etc.
Our daughter comes home so very happy after a fun-filled day, and we have a very detailed review of what she’s done that day; naps, what she ate, what she played with etc, which is still super important at her age.
Myself and my partner are both very happy we chose Snowdrop House and can’t wait to watch our daughter thrive here on her journey up until school age. Thank you, Snowdrop House!

Our wee boy loves going to Snowdrop House - he has become far more confident since he started. The staff are super friendly and very informative about the day's activities. The support we have received from all the staff over recent months has been invaluable, and we can’t thank them enough.

My daughter has always been happy at Snowdrop, and we are confident that our baby son will be equally happy when he starts next year. The staff are lovely, and I particularly enjoy the updates in the nursery app.

All the staff are wonderful; they keep my son active and entertained. I am kept updated through the app on his day and what he is doing.
He loves to go to his nursery and comes back happy every day!
I have nothing to say against them, brilliant!

Great place with very friendly staff - my son loves it!
He started when he was just a year old, and he adapted very quickly!

Overall, it is a great nursery.

An exceptionally well-run nursery with professional and kind staff. My granddaughter is at the centre of their work, and her learning is paramount. They are organised and followed the appropriate curriculum for the child's age, encouraging self-learning and exploration. All in all, everything that was
envisaged with her work, congratulations.

What a fantastic nursery. Our daughter loves going every day. Development has been phenomenal at this nursery. Also, when I drop my daughter off, I always feel 100% sure she is safe and well cared for. The staff are always so friendly and caring. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking
for a nursery place for their child.

Snowdrop House is a wonderful and supportive nursery. Both of my children have been very happy and supported there. The facilities are great, with children given a lot of freedom to choose their activities and follow their interests. The staff are very caring, and both of my children have made lovely
friends here. The nursery has also been responsive, supporting us as a family with additional needs and putting adjustments in place.

Snowdrop really helped us to transition our nine-month-old. They were supportive of us and her, and send us little pictures during the day. At the end of the first week, it was clear that she was building a lovely bond with the staff already. We are so grateful to have found a nursery that we trust
and that our daughter enjoys.

Snowdrop House is a wonderful nursery, and I couldn't have wished for a better start for my son. The staff are warm, friendly, affectionate, kind and professional, and I had no qualms about leaving my child in their very capable hands when he was just ten months old back in August 2022. I appreciate
the regular updates via the app; they do such lovely activities with the children every day, and my child goes into the nursery and leaves the nursery extremely happy and excited.

Our child has been attending Snowdrop House for two years, and we cannot rate it highly enough. Our child is so happy to go to nursery - they love the teachers, the activities, the space and the food, and have made good friends there.
The team are so kind and supportive and really helped us when going
through potty training. They are so creative with activities and doing crafts and active physical play, as well as helping the children to do counting and alphabet activities.
We’re so happy with the nursery and couldn’t recommend it enough!

All the staff have been fantastic with my child and really help with his development; he is doing so well and learning so much.
They are also so understanding of his needs and his allergies, he is thriving, and every day he is in the nursery, he leant something new and loves that he is making friends.
All the staff are so lovely.

I couldn’t be happier with the care and education my son receives at Snowdrop House Montessori Nursery. He currently only goes 1 day a week, but from how happy and settled he is there you wouldn’t know it! He talks positively about his time there and the staff who look after him and I’m very impressed
with the daily feedback through the Famly app. It’s so nice to see snippets of his day. His key worker is so lovely and she knows him so well! My son is about to increase his days and I know that he will continue to do amazingly there. Thank you, everyone!

Snowdrop House is an amazing nursery. All the staff are so loving and caring with our son and also support him to do so many fun activities. They share photos and videos throughout the day, so I can see what lovely things he is getting up to. They have managed his cow's milk allergy amazingly, and I
feel so confident that he is getting the best care and love while I'm at work. The facilities are so lovely, clean, new and with fantastic resources for all ages. All my children have gone through this nursery, and my older two were so ready for school thanks to the brilliant activities they did in the pre-school room.
I can't recommend them highly enough.

Snowdrop House is an excellent nursery - the staff are all professional, friendly and welcoming. The facilities for outdoor and indoor play are great. The daily updates and general communication from the whole team are great!
Most importantly, my daughter loves going every day - she has made lots of
little friends, and I can see the positive impact the nursery is having on her development.
Highly recommend!

We chose Snowdrop House for our daughter during lockdown when we weren’t able to visit the nursery when it was open and full of children. Naturally, it was a little nerve-wracking, but the staff soon made us feel at ease. Our little lockdown girl settled almost instantly! She adores everyone who works
there and runs in every day. She is a confident, creative little girl who has been nurtured and loved so well, and we couldn’t be more pleased! We absolutely love the Montessori influence as well, and it is showing in our independent little girl.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.795)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.795) out of 10 for Snowdrop House Montessori Nursery 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 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 4.920 for Snowdrop House Montessori Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (233 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 251 Ratings = 4.92
  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 4.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Snowdrop House Montessori Nursery is based on 21 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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 21 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.875
  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.
